(review from December 2021) Very delicate, gentle, light, smooth combo-kinda brew w/much lower hoppiness than its 43ibus, feathery light & understated citrusy/melony/fruity/complex flavor profile & drinks like much less than its 7.2%.

This 12 oz bottle pours a bright & effervescent gold with 2 fingers of ivory colored head. Very good head retention & decent lacing

S: Tropical fruits, some bready notes & a little bit of metal.. Some white grape once warmed up .25 deduction for the metal weirdness

T: Grassy, pomelo, nectarine, grainy notes almost like millet up front. A touch of green melon, light lemon & lime zest, white grapes as this beer warms up, a trace of peach & dryness. Finishes a little dry, grassy with a little white grape & peach

MF: Medium body, moderate carbonation, okay balance

Cold IPAs are not my jam, drinkable, but not interesting

12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled of caramel, toffee, citrus and pine. Sweet fruity taste with toasted caramel and piney bitterness.
