Thanks to Josh for sharing this one. Pours a translucent golden amber with a medium bubbly off white head. Aroma was a handful of American hop pellets, orange zest, floral notes, perfume, caramel and bready malt. Flavor of...you got it...a ton of fresh American hops. Iced tea, floral notes, lots of citrus, toasted malt and bready.

12oz bottle thanks to Dunk. Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Nose is of pine hops and slight citrus. Taste is also of pine with a lighter citrus noticeable. Mouthfeel is medium with bitter aftertaste.

Bottle courtesy of mgumby10. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of citrus, some pine, hints of dough, grass. Tastes bitter and citrussy with a touch of spiciness on the finish. Great brew!

Bottle… Clear, light golden ale with a small, frothy, white head. Tropical and citrus fruit aroma. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with relaxed carbonation. Fruity flavor with tannic bitterness. Toffee sweetness and grapefruit pith bitterness finish things off. Thanks go out to mgumby10 for the brew!

Courtesy Odeed. Pours a clear light orange color, with a small white head. Smells of some big grapefruit hops, very piney, with a crispness about it. The flavor was also very crisp and sharp, with a big hop character and a nice hop bitterness to it. Prety juicy grapefruit citrus was also quite evident. Nice and crisp IPA, full flavored with a great palate. Another quality brew from a quality brewer.
