Tap @ FG w e. Pale hazy gold. Aroma is a lot of peach and citrus and airy tropical fruit. Palate is the same with medium carbonation, but not hoppy. Good, spritzy, tropical, peachy beer but not so much an IPA from my point of view. Enjoyed but not outstanding, especially for the single IPA style.

Nice bright and breezy. Softly citric some tangerine with graoefruit. Soft bready toffee malt body. Well put together but not a heavy hitter either.

12oz can. Pours a hazy light amber orange color with a thick white head. Aromas of citrus and sweetness from the malt. Taste is lemon, apricot, grapefruit, spicey hops, and maybe some caramel and light toasted malts.

BazookaJoe (129) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Pours light orange, with a thin white head. A nice floral hop aroma, that leads to a solid body with notes of pine and citrus. Finishes sweet and woody. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

fairly hoppy beer, a bit bitter at the end. Overall lots of citrus taste that highlight the beer and there is enough malt that the hops are not overbearing on the palate.

Darwenus (386) - Virginia, USA - MAY 9, 2013
As soon as I opened the can I got hit in the face with the smell of strong, citrus hops and spices. The color is a hazy lemon yellow, with a foamy head. The taste is delicious. The hops kind of work together in such a way that with one sip there are pine notes, with the next it’s all citrus and flowers, and then grassy herbs the next time, etc. Behind it all there is a really solid, rich, buttery malt. I will buy this again.

cfrancis (1770) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 3, 2013
Just a great beer! Pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white top. Aroma is citrus and floral hops. Taste is a lively citrus hop bitterness that livens up the mouth and tickles with a sweet finish. Nicely balanced with bready malts.
