A- golden orange in color, looks like you typical AIPA

S- not a lot going on here just smells like it is going to be very bitter!

T- BITTER, and very dry.

M- thin and very basic, destroys your palate with agressive bitterness

D- ok depending on what you like, if you like the ipa style then it is ok.

Appearance: pours a clear light copper color with a fluffy 3"+ head that slowly falls to a thick surface foam. Some spotty lacing develops.

Smell: soft pine bitterness is all the nose picks up.

Taste: you first notice the super strong grapefruit tones, while the malt sweetness and bitterness stay way behind. Some caramel candy comes through near the end, but this is a bit unbalanced.

Mouthfeel: crisp from start to finish. Aftertaste is a bit unpleasant with the long lingering citrus tones. Medium bodied.

Drinkability: not too good as I could not finish the bomber bottle. Just an unbalanced beer that doesn't do it for me.

Pours a crystal clear pale amber. The one finger of soapy, white, shortly-lived head is a bit disappointing.

With the initial pour there's a sharp grapefruit rind nose, a hint of spice, and some soft caramel malts in the back.

A rather reserved west coast AIPA this is. The slightly bready malt backbone is clearly present, and American citrus hops are prominent but not overpowering. It is a bit lacking, however, in hop flavor vs. hop bitterness.

The mouthfeel is medium and creamy - a bit heavier than expected actually (feels a bit more like a DIPA), but it's welcomed.

Solidly drinkable and an entirely decent IPA, this is worth a try...
