Golden and hazy, with a medium white head that lingers nicely.

Fresh and fruity — lots of grapefruit with tropical vibes like mango and pineapple.
Tastes:
Hop-forward with a moderate bitterness. A touch of malt keeps it balanced.
Overall:
A solid, easy-drinking hazy beer. It hits the right notes for a casual pint, even if it doesn’t leave a lasting impression.

Bright gold color with ample, taste was tropical hops with balanced malt backbone and dry finish. Had this on draft at Tops Diner in New Jersey and it went very well with my burger. I would opt for this again if dining out.

Decent, not great. Pours somewhat hazy yellow with a thick white head that fades quickly. Aroma is hop floral and a bit orange. Taste is bitter citrus. More bitter than the look would suggest. Feel is good, a fair amount of carbonation in there. Overall a solid IPA.

On tap, served in a mason jar at Route 66 Smokehouse in FiDi.
The appearance is hazy and opaque reddish-apricot, the smell almost reminds me of fresh apple cider.
Taste follows the smell, with a very nice balance of pine with citrus, particularly grapefruit flavors, and a mild hoppy finish.
Its haziness and fruitiness reminded me a lot more of a NEIPA than an American IPA. Very smooth and drinkable: I’d have it again.
