3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Serving: Draft at Fireworks.
Pours a hazy orange color with a sizeable foamy white head. The nose is potent and full of pineapple and citrus. A hop bomb for sure. The taste is full of pineapple, a little papaya, pine, and slight herbal notes. The malt contributes just a hint of cracker notes. The body is light to medium with a dry, crisp, and bitter finish. The finish is a touch acridic but okay. The carbonation is medium. Overall a very nice IPA with a great nose and great palate. Definitely worth a try.

12oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy golden caramel color with a one finger foamy white head that settles quickly. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of citrus, pine, grapefruit, orange peel, fresh flowers, some hints of spice, malt, caramel.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sweet, fruity hop aroma. Hops are a little subdued. Cloudy orange body with small, off-white head that is mostly diminishing. Excellent lace began to form on the sides of the glass before the first sip. Piney, peppery hop flavor that is not as sweet as the aroma suggested. Actually could use most malt sweetness for better balance. Becomes a litle more balanced at mid glass as it warms. Some sweeter notes prevail, even reminiscent of fruit loops? A good IPA, but it leaves me wanting something more.
