Our flagship American IPA scaled down ever so slightly, but only in ABV. We adjusted the whirlpool selection to be extra juicy and a dry hop variation that is super tropical and citrusy, with a hint of white wine grape. It’s full of flavor but is light and goes down easy. The perfect hoppy summer companion.

Very hazy (translucent) yellow color with a decent and long lasting white head with some nice lacing.
The aroma is citrus and tropical fruit with a hint of pine.
The taste is lemon, tangerine, pineapple, papaya, casaba melon, white grapes and passion fruit, lightly sweet, definitely tart. The finish is dry with citrus zest and pine resin, moderate bitterness. The body is medium, very good carbonation, crisp but smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a very tasty and pleasant brew refreshing enough for all summer activities, especially time at the beach, very nice.

From the pint can, it pours a milky light amber color with a large white head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. Lots of smells here with big notes of citrus including pineapple and some pine as well. The mouth follows with a nicely citrus flavored malty brew with light bitterness.

Poured a dense, yellow-goldy body with decent head and minimal lace down the glass. Aroma has notes of earth and spring with some odd fruits as well. Smooth, clean, light to medium body with a tropical fruit and grape sweetness along with minor bitterness on finish for a mostly smooth, clean and easy drinking beer.

I don't really do ipas anymore, so take my review with this grain of salt! Murky yellow body with a full finger of white foam. Lots of fruit going on in the smell: orange, pineapple, white grape, melon, papaya, grapefruit and lime with dry hops. Taste starts with this fruit explosion, middle yeast the malt backbone and slightly hazy yeast introduced, but the finish bitters are pretty weak, even for a single ipa. Feel is bright and juicy, hop are felt more than tasted, but again a bit thin though appropriately light. Refreshing for summer, so I get it
