Murky tangerine orange in color with an unfiltered appearance. Poured with a moderate, creamy white foam with medium low retention. Malty and fruity aromas of melon, mellow apricot and stone fruit with hints of lemon. Medium bodied with medium light cardonation. Lightly rich, creamy smooth feel followed by boozy warmth. Citrus hop flavors up front followed and by mellow fruitiness and medium light bitterness. Medium light malty flavors throughout. Melon and stone fruit fruit flavors on the back end. Finished with a lightly acidic citrus bite with mellow boozy heat, and a tapering light citrus bitterness. Tasty easy drinking.

Undated can (my pet peeve, especially with IPAs) into pint glass. Pours a very cloudy brownish-straw color with a nice off-white head. Initial impression is juicy citrus and pine resin, featuring grapefruit with mango, floral, earthy, and grassy notes. Mouthfeel is soft and pillowy; alcohol is quite well hidden. Finish is somewhat sweet, but with a nice hint of pine resin to balance things out. Another excellent IPA from this brewer!
