Six pack from Marine Mart miramar: Hazy peach color with a medium, fading off-white head. Aroma is sweet mandarin orange. Flavor starts over-ripe tangerine followed by a little pineapple and a lingering, light grapefruit finish. Medium body is spicy with lively carbonation.

12oz bottle from the brewer. Pours a mostly clear golden orange with a nice frothy white head that left some great lacing in the tulip. Great citrusy nose dominated by grapefruit and tangerine. Good hop bitterness on the finish with some faint metallic notes in the background. A stellar IPA from a not so stellar brewery.

bottle pours a clear golden with a beige head. aroma of grapefruit and pine. flavor has a really nice citrusy, grapefruit bite to it. really nice. aroma is relatively subdued compared to the big citrusy hop flavor explosion that hits your tongue. I’d drink this again fo sho.
