Very unusual beer. First off, the smell is horrible so don't judge it on smell (at all). The taste, as others have said is fruity, somewhat tropical with an emphasis on grapefruit. Overall not too bad and a good diversion. Would I buy it again? Who knows with this one...but likely not.

12 oz. bottle poured into a tulip glass.
L---Hearty amber color with some haziness. Thick, slightly off-white head with very good retention. Leaves excellent lacing.
S---Tropical fruit up front. Mild floral notes.
T---Juicy grapefruit. Nicely balanced between hops and malts. Maybe some passionfruit or mango.
F---Juicy & wet. Quenching. Nicely carbonated.
O---Excellent IPA. Never had before, but hope to find it again.

Buy from whole foods. One of the first 'premium' beers that got me started.

Wow! Excellent. A nice cloudy orange pour. Thick foamy head that doesn't fade. A nice bright hoppy flavorful taste. Citrus and almost sweet with a nice bitter finish. A fantastic IPA. Hooray!

Just happened to hit a small c-store that had this and thought I’d try it. Glad I did as it is a very nice IPA. Nice head, great color, nice smell and a not to overwhelming taste of singular things. Very nice blend. I would definitely buy this again.
