Commercial Description:
Finally an American-style IPA from us... This beautiful red-orange ale has a full malty body balanced by a fruity apricot/grapefruit nose. Mounds of dank Summit hops in the whirlpool and dry-hop additions provide a deliciously quenching finish to this East meets West-coast ale.

22 oz bottle poured into a tulip glass has a dark orange amber color and a huge frothy off white head that fell slowly down the glass leaving thick foam and lace. aroma has juicy grapefruit hops, light resin, medium sweetness, mild toasted caramel malt, bread, and a pinch of pepper spice. mouth feel is medium with a nice fullness from the frothy carbonation. flavor has the sweet grapefruit and tropical hops side but also a good dose of biter and resins. sweetness balances things out and just enough malt to thicken and give body. there is some acidity and lingering bitterness in the finish pushed out with the high carbonation. the bottle conditioning and dry hopping both go over well here.

(Draught) Pours a hazy orange body with a tall foamy off-white head. Aroma of orange, mustiness, nectarine, and caramel malt. Flavor of hops (herbal, pine, grapefruit) and caramel malt with a bitter finish.

22oz bottle. Attractive aroma of grapefruit, orange, nectarine, and caramel. There was also a whiff of toasted bread. Poured a clear dark orange color. The head was white with good retention and lacing. Light to medium bodied with moderate to high hop bitterness that suppressed the delicate sweetness. I tasted sprucy hops, toasted bread, orange, and apricot. Delicious.

Pours a nice golden amber with a large foamy/creamy off white head that left nice lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, light pine, mango, caramel and a touch of toasted malt. Flavor of grapefruit, light piney notes, floral, some caramel and grains, apricot and moderate hop bitterness. Well done IPA
