Look: poured into a pint glass at Dave’s sushi Bozeman, MT. A cloudy Golden hue. Great foam 1/2” head.
Smell: really can’t pick up on much aroma. After a sip i can pick up some citrus notes.
Taste: very citrusy IPA more of an orange taste (does have that orange/gold color)
Feel: not to hoppy but does have some bitterness from the hops to let you know it’s an IPA, little to no aftertaste.
Overall a very good IPA that has a clean crisp flavor.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is served a clear golden amber color with a one finger head of just slightly off white foam. The head has a fantastic level of retention, slowly fading over time to leave a ton of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is mostly of a cracker and bready smell mixed with some light tangerine and orange. Along with these smells comes a decent hit of pine and herb, giving a rather nice, slightly dank aroma overall.
Taste – The taste begins with a slightly heavy cracker malt taste that has a moderate showing of some dank hop of pine right from the start. While the nose depicted a lot of citrus (tangerine and some grapefruit) there flavors were not very present upfront, but as the taste advanced they did become more detectable. Toward the end some flavors of grass and herb join the more dank tastes of pine from the start and leave one with a rather malty, but dry and nicely dank hopped taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium to slightly thicker in body with a carbonation level that is rather average. For the dank flavors, low sweetness, and malty body the feel is nice and makes for a nice sipping brew.
Overall – A good, more west coast style IPA, with a little more malt, but a nice crisp and low sweet profile containing a good dank hop hit. Rather nice overall.
