L - massive yellowish head atop a murky orange body.

S - grapefruit, cheese, dank hops.

T - very dank citrus hops. Bready middle, with some earth, meat, orange, steak sauce, and a bit of pungent cheese. Low bitterness. Low sweetness. Low booziness.

F - medium body and carb.

O - a very aggressive ipa. I’m enjoying the assault on my senses, but it’s not one you can just gulp down.

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass. Packaged August 14th 2018.

Near turbid muted yellow body color and totally opaque, with a faint hint of fine white carbonation in places. Thick rich tall off white head, reaching an easy four controlled fingers with excellent staying power and retention. Very nice cake like uniform top and bubbles as well.

Fantastic deep mix of orange rich fruit, not so much juicy as it bursts with zest and flesh. Slight touches of earth as well, and minimal rounding malt sweetness for a good balance, even goes a little minty herbal. Always love how a single hop from different brewers can be showcased so differently at times.

Very nice palate. Playful orange and zesty fruit in the mid palate, almost gets into a Hawaiian tropical punch to kool aid quality without the major sugars. Clean almost with chewy profile but also lighter body and a faint touch of chalk unfortunately. Still the hits keep coming, an aftertaste that is herbal with a sweetness somewhere between mint and rosemary.

Real nice IPA, even has almost some West coast character even looking like a NEIPA. Not without some minor flaws, but much greater impressions that make up for it. Will definitely enjoy finishing this pack of them.

 

 

 

 

CK during World Cup. Not very good.

 

Poured a super hazy orange with two fingers of white head.
Smell is sweet citrus, primarily orange albeit a bit muted.
Taste is primarily sweet orange, dank undertones balance the sweetness very well.
Medium to full bodied, soft, smooth feel.
Overall a great beer! Great body, balanced between the sweet citrus and dank

 

 

From a fresh growler, pours a fully hazed, milky orange. Two fingers of white foam. Smell is fantastic, dominated by orange citrus, along with classic Citra notes of sweaty gym clothes and dank. Taste follows. Excellent smooth, soft feel. Mild bitterness. Alcohol well hidden. Fantastic East Coast style IIPA, one of the top I've had in a while. Keep doing this.

 

 

16 oz can dated 4/20

Hops: Citra

I'm a citra whore so of course I love this. Has the classic orangey citra nose. Taste follows suit. Soft and juicy. Best offering from Offshoot I've had to date. Keep churning 'em out boys.
