4.28/5  rDev +10.9%

served on-tap into a pint glass at the bar inside the Bellagio in Las Vegas, NV.

a very nice looking clear, deep golden orange color with a tight one finger or so of white head. tons of thick sticky lacing that lasts the whole glass. left a thin, but retentive layer of head.

in the aroma, lots of pine in the aroma and some light citrus fruits and a bit of light candied caramel malt. clean, but maybe not enough going on when compared to the taste.

lots of pine and grapefruit citrus, some tropical fruit and even a bit of juicy fruit. just enough of a candied caramel malt to be noticable. as it warms, a bit of spicey hop comes out.

soo smooth, slightly creamy even. a nice slightly resiny, almost oily lingering bitterness.

a really nice, flavorful, fresh tasting IPA. i almost thought this was a DIPA until i saw the stats. ive never had the bottled version of this beer, but im guessing from the right tap this is a much improved version. id definatly try this again.

3.52/5  rDev -8.8%
look: 4 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
L: A bright orange-yellow with a bit of haziness, it develops a nice froth of yellow-tinted head that stays around for the duration and leaves respectable lacing
S: While initially hitting with a big grassy and citrus hops note, lots of caramel malts can be seen to come in and balance it out before an almost sulfuric / vegetal note comes out pretty clearly
T: While it may seem a little unusual, I do like the flavor from the hops as citrus, including bittersweet notes more akin to grapefruit, come out very clearly, it brings in waves of pine resin, grass, and leaf before a clear tobacco-like note emerges; caramel and sweetness almost like brown sugar come on strong, but in my opinion don't detract from the hops to the degree that it could
F: Carbonation bites up front and it even begins creamy, but that all fades somewhat quickly; the medium body holds but doesn't lead into the dryness an IPA should, and the sweetness might be a bit much for the palate

Substantial yellow, white head, almost 1". Aroma hit the citrus notes.

Taste had mildly toasted pale malts. Lots of hops, not overly bitter, done well. One of the first citra-citrus forward beers of the last few years. Affordable in 6pack format, would not hesitate to buy this one again if it came around.
