On tap. Pours with a hazed orange body with a lasting white head. Aromas of tropical fruit, spicy hop note and some citrus rind. Flavors contrast the fruitiness of the aroma with pine, pinenuts and spicy hop notes. A dry-raw grain note as well. Kind of confused with a citrus aroma yet a pine flavor. Lively carbonation, nice and attenuated in the West Coast IPA fashion.

On tap at Father’s Office SM. Pours hazy orangish amber with off-white head. Aromas of big citrus, some wheat, bright hops, and a bit of earthiness. Flavors of citrus, pine, bitter hops, and some bready malts. Finishes bitter and dry. Pretty solid IPA.

Amber Pour with small white head, nose is candy malt and butterscotch with only a hint of floral hoppiness. body and mouthfeel is light. front is complex and lightly sweet morphing into a citrusy hoppiness and finishing dry. This is a weird combination of styles but it works quite well.

On tap at Beer Revolution poured a clear golden amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of biscuit, grapefruit, pine, earthiness and light orange. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of biscuit, earthiness, pine, light grapefruit and a hint of orange with a crisp dry moderatly bitter finish.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Light grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and caramel flavor with light earth and light wheat. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and light caramel lingers with light wheat. Made with a lot of wheat which shows up in background of flavor but really shows in mouthfeel - smoothing out things.
