A thickly settled style liquid, mucho hazy, milky tones within a straw-gold color. All white foam, thick at first, receded pretty fast with only minimal coverage.

The hoppy aroma popping off from the Citra and Galaxy hops have serious bursts of citrus and tropical tones. A very fresh, lupilin powder and hearty husk notes are most impressive. There is a big earthy factor, mixed with old herbs and spices, mint and cucumbers seems to balanceout the big fruit explosion. It genuinely has a freshly crushed up hoppy style nose.

A full, smooth and heady mouthfeel crosses over into DIPA land. Semi-crisp bite also mutates into dry, earthy, grainy and sharp and quickly back to long and lush again. Nice texture, bigger than I expected before I saw the liquid!

Hearty grains and an earthy toned hop explosion hits you first in the flavor spectrum. Sour and tropical fruits, sweet and tangy citrus with what seems like wheat and oats within the malty balance. The malt is classically light, but sweet, then grainy.
The hop combo is very dense, fresh and assertive. Fresh lupilin and green husky tones makes these hops seem very fresh and lively. A low level, dry kick, not ever bitter but tangy with slightly sharp edges to the hop taste.

Certainly in the New England style approach with a righteous hop complexity and rad feel. Happily surprised.

Nice nose and a typicl hazy IPA color. Tropicana with no pulp. A bit bitter on the back end with a little grapefruit punch. Above average mouth feel with nice lacing. I’ll definitely bolo for more from Springdale.

Poured into an English pint glass.
The appearance was a bright yellow pale color with a small cap of a little white foamy head. It dissipated at a moderate pace. Light messy lace.
The aroma had a strong scent of hop oils, semi-pith like character mulling about some pine and melon tones.
The flavor leaned towards the spiciness initially and seemed to develop a sly balance of spiciness and hop oils. However, the melon cleanly moves in underneath with a keen sweetness that bled into the aftertaste with the hop oils.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation and ABV felt on par. Sly creamy edge seemed to clip at the spicy harshness nicely and it seems just enough for a extremely well done balance. Aptly noted crisp to spicy hop finish.
Overall, very nicely done AIPA I'd have again.

Mmm... Real nice... Dry and pithy pale grapefruit bomb, lightly zesty with mild sweetness and moderate bitterness; smooth and clean, soft but lean... Very impressive... Subtler underpinnings of various citrus and tropical fruits, with a nice pine-like element that airs it out like a breeze through the taiga... Features Citra and Galaxy hops... 2/22/18 canning...

Poured from 16 oz. can into imperial pint glass. Beautiful unfiltered golden straw color. Nice white foam head. Great citrus and hop aroma. I really enjoyed the taste and feel of the IPA.
Will definitely buy a four pack. This was an exceptional IPA.
