(Draught) Pours a clear yellow body with a medium white head. Aroma of grapefruit, grain, pine, and caramel. Flavor of grapefruit, orange, earth, grain, and caramel malt with a dry, bitter finish.

Sappy, sticky and resinous spruce and pine needle aromatics. A slightly orange golden pour that is clear and sits underneath a thick, creamy two-finger white head. Pine and northwest hops punch you in the mouth before you expect it. Finish is bitter and bone dry. Caramel traces make a brief appearance but this is about the hops. Very light but not in the least watery. Great ipa. Traces of orange peel as it warms.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Grapefruit aroma. Resin and earthy flavor with pithy grapefruit. Medium body. Good bitterness. Pithy grapefruit lingers with pine resin and light earthiness.
