Bottle from Boise Co-op. Hazy, medium golden with a small, tight creamy head. Light aroma, biscuit malts, citrusy hops. Taste brings more citrus , light citrusy hops too. Bitterness gets some mild dank and piney notes. Nice feel.

Look: Opaque dull orange. Half a finger of white head with mild retention.
Smell: Strong tropical fruit hoppiness with orange peel. Mild sweetness.
Taste: Orange juice, piney hops, decent but not overbearing bitterness.
Mouthfeel: A little thin, with very high carbonation.
Overall: A nice, juicy beer with interesting complexity.

My reviews must be kind of boring because I start with the conclusion... but I must admit first off that this time the BA score is quite appropriate: it is a very good beer.
Although I’m kind of confused about the “atomizer” quality and the “sci-fi suds for a wi-fi world” thing, was wondering where it comes from or what it has to do with the beer itself. But I guess that must be part of the trademark.
The beer itself smells very nicely hopped, I love this kind of hoppiness, it foreshadows its piney character. The taste kind of plays along with it, the combination of those hops mentioned is really well done and the beer is properly balanced, neither too malty nor too dry. It isn’t dank I guess, it is more on the - and this is where I got stuck because I just simply can’t caregorize this beer. And maybe I shouldn’t.
I was kind of hoping for a slightly bit more punch but now that I think of it, I got everything I needed from this beer. It felt fresh, hoppy, very enjoyable, not overwhelming, could carry on with my day afterwards, and when sipping away on the head left in the glass in the end I felt a kind of booziness that I missed to notice.
I think that sums it up, it is a very neat one, but hey, what else would you expect from an Oregon brew?

Two different varieties into this 12-pack I have, and I have to mention, these just taste weird to me...
This one looks nice enough - light yellow tinge to an orange base, frothy head, and good lacing. The smell is super juicy but with a hint of that weirdness that comes across in the taste. I can't put my finger on it. Its like a moldy or musty bitterness. I don't hate it, but I certainly don't like it, and I still have two more varieties and a whole 10 more beers to choke down from this pack. Anyway, the mouthfeel is about like most carbonated beers - more so than I prefer, but not enough to be distracting. Overall, not a bad beer, just weird and I have graded it as such.

Well I guess beer has officially gone high tech? This beer allegedly has "ultrasonically infused hops". Mmm k. It is a decent beer, with a very syrupy feel and smell. Certainly hoppy. It delivers. Would expect the abv to be much higher from the way it performs, however....I like it. Smells like a double IPA tastes like a double, but indeed it is a light IPA. Try it.

Appearence is a darkish yellow, medium retention, some good carbonation
Smell is beyond phenomenal, it's the exact same smell as boiling some dank hops while brewing, which I don't find in any other IPA
On the taste the hops are still boil fresh yet nice and balanced citrusy/bitter and stay in the back seat, up front is a slight caramel kind of amber ale malt, these two flavors go together wonderfully.
Overall an instant favorite due to the extremely fresh hop characteristics, if it's the process that's doing this there's so much potential here

Bright, golden yellow body; dense and sculpted white head. The aroma was primarily a light caramel malt sweetness; bare trace of citrus; floral, and pine notes. The taste followed along with a semi-sweet caramel malt thing; some hop bitterness. Medium-heavy body; sticky sweetness; cross between moderately sweet and semi-dry on the palate.
The date on the bottle looked like 011519, so fairly old for an IPA at the time of my review. I give the beer the benefit of a doubt with the taste and aroma based on the date of bottling, but both did seem dated and faded. Not bad, but deserves to be experienced at a fresher state for a fair shake.

Clear amber brew with adequate foam in the snifter. Very fragrant with lemon lime and a whiff of gardenia. Some sweetness on the lips as you sip. Medium body with sturdy malt character. Mango flavor and green melon with grapefruit peel to finish.
Moderately bitter with a little astringency in the aftertaste. This is a highly drinakble hoppy brew with impressive aromatics. From the 12 oz bottle purchased at the supermarket.
