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.

(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
