12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/18/2014. Pours fairly hazy gold color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big lemon zest, grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, orange peel, citrus rind, floral, grass, light pine, light caramel, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthinss. Very nice aromas with big juicy citrus/tropical hop and light-moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of lemon zest, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, orange peel, citrus rind, pine, floral, grass, light caramel, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish. Good amount of pine/citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon zest, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, orange peel/rind, floral, grass, pine, light caramel, biscuit and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Nice complexity and robustness of juicy citrus/tropical hops with light-moderate pale malt sweetness; with a solid malt/bitterness balance and a moderate amount of cloying bitterness after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, crisp, and moderately sticky/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with no warming present after the finish as expected of 4%. Overall this was a really good session IPA. Nice complexity and robustness of juicy citrus/tropical hops and a fair amount of pale malt sweetness; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

12 fl. oz bottle
Served in a tulip glass

L - It is clear and golden colored. It is capped with an inch of white head.

S - It has that wonderful cat urine smell. There is some citrus scattered in as well.

T - It has an aggressively hops taste. Catty up front with a bitter finish.

M - Moderate to thin

O - It reminds me of Mosaic Promise. It pairs well with the Charlie Daniels Band huge hit "Stroker Ace." I am just sad that I do not have the film of the same name to view as I consume.
