Pours a clear dull gold with a healthy looking white head with minimal lace. light but sharp citrus-hops aroma, some sweetness from the malt. Decent pale malt with plenty of hop kick - orange pith, grapefruit, dry aftertaste with a touch of warmth. Thin but lingering mouthfeel and good carb. This is truly one of Spinnaker’s best. Much better than their garden-variety IPA. Nicely done!

Jul 6, 2008 On tap at the Alibi. Thin cratered head, off-amber straw colour. Very bit hop start that peters off toward a suggestion of brown sugar at the end. I like Spinnakers’ IPAs and this one is a good addition to the lineup.
