Taproom pour, served chilled.
Cloudy, deep gold colored body. Off white head. Leaves webs of lacing.
Aroma of pine and citrus.
Taste is pine and citrus, backed with a sweet malt base. All continue in the aftertaste.
Slightly more than medium mouthfeel. Lingering medium level of bitterness. Good carbonation.
Described as a West Coast IPA but lacks clarity and bitterness, but does have a sweet malt base.

On tap at the brewery
Clear golden pouring beer. Beautiful 1 finger whit head. Very frothy looking and long lasting. Some lacing on the glass.
Aroma is quite nice with pine, earthy and malty notes. Hint of citrus.
Flavor has a great hop hit off the start. I get a good pine hit with hints of citrus. There's a slight hint of an earthy dankness to it. There's a hint of malt that shines through. Slight bitterness on the back.
The body is somewhat sticky feeling. Decent fullness.
Tasty and I am glad I came here to try it.

This is a West Coast IPA.
On tap at the brewery into a nonic glass.
L: SRM 5 Pours 95% clear medium gold color with a thin slightly off white head, fair retention, very light steady carbonation, random medium lacing.
S: A bit dank, some citrus, grains, sweet malts.
T: Sweet caramelized malts, moderate citrus zest, lemon, grapefruit, a hint of yeast, has zesty bitterness throughout.
F: Bright, smooth medium-bodied feel with a lightly drying finish.
O: I believe with a little bit more refinement this beer could be excellent. For now, it is pleasant tasting and is very good in its style.
