On tap at Bistro DIPA Fest. Clear orangish copper color with a small off-white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma with some sweet malty notes. The flavor is rather citrusy with C-hops, grapefruit and mild pine. Medium-full body with hoppy oiliness and average carbonation. Solid offering overall.

On tap at Gourmet Haus. Dusted orange with slight haze and off white, full head. Grapefruit and citrus pound out the aroma. Taste is nice blend of NW triple-c type hops with solid malt backbone. Bitterness on the back is well received with citrus being the dominating tone throughout.

Clear golden orange with a creamy white head. Nice strong grapefruit and light pine aroma. Finally an IPA today that doesn’t smell like yard work! Really nice balance between almost tart fruit flavors and the hop bitterness. Light vanilla grapefruit and hop perfume to the finish. Semi bright lively palate. Well done.

Golden amber color. Fresh pine over caramel in the nose. Moderately sweet, very piney, but alcohol well hidden and not too heavy. Very well balanced. Moderately bitter finish. Very nice

Light orange pour with medium white head, aroma strong with piney hops and malt. Flavor starts malty sweet and turns to piney hops with a mild bitter. Good carbonation gives a crispness with the malt thickness. Yummy beer.
