On tap at the brewery. Appears to have come out of retirement. East Coast and West Coast IPA.
Appearance - Hazy yellowy gold brew with orange highlights. A finger plus of long lived head.
Smell - Super juicy and tropical. A little bit of tangerine and nectarine play, some other stone fruit and passionfruit accents.
Taste - Quite sweet and juicy, nectarine and orange, peach, with a little sprinkle of pineapple. Solid wheat qualities that appear mid-sip before letting the citrus shine again.
Mouthfeel - Medium-full bodied, fairly low carbonation. Juice-like and crushable.
Overall - Very very good IPA, I imagine was helped greatly by the freshness. Worth worth a try if you happen to have access to a fresh tap.

Starts like an East Coast IPA, finishes harsh and bitter. Birriria Volo tap. Big overhazy and much yeast up front. Lots of hops. Needs balance. Worth the try.
