Appearance: hazy yellowish orange color with a 1/4" head that falls apart quickly.
Smell: very little aroma other than some earthy hop bitterness.
Taste: caramel, pineapple, grapefruit, and an earthy bitterness rounds it out.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer. Crisp to start, less crisp at the finish and slightly dry.
Overall: a decent IPA that is not as well balanced as the earthy bitterness is slightly dominating.

A: The beer is hazy yellowish amber in color and has no visible carbonation. It poured with a short off white head that died down and left a patch of bubbles in the center of the glass and a collar around the edge.
S: Moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and starts out with a bite of citrus, after which notes of tropical fruits also become apparent. There is a moderate amount of bitterness and this lingers through the finish along with notes of grapefruit citrus.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is a rather good citrusy IPA that has some interesting complexities with notes of tropical fruits.
