12 oz. bottle. Poured hazy orange with tons of small hop particles floating throughout the body of the beer. Fresh citrus and piney resin flavor. Lots of fresh cut orange, tangerine, and grapefruit goodness. Very smooth and very good.

Pours hazy golden amber into a shaker. Whipped cream head top hats rim and folds over. Orange zest and resin aromas. Full and syrupy caramel with crisp pine and resin from front to back. Well balanced.

Cloudy straw color with thick white soapy head. Lacing hugs the glass. Aroma of hops, grapefruit and some pine. Wet hops finish with grapefruit, pine and flowers on the palate. Impressive beer! The best part of the Giants-’Skins game.

Bottle. Moderate roasted smell for the malt, heavy grapefruit, pine and flowers for the hops, light soap for the yeast with notes of pepper and wood. Head is large, frothy, slightly off-white with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is hazy amber. Flavor starts lightly acidic and finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a lively carbonation. Just lacking a little sweetness, this is exactly what an IPA is supposed to smell, taste, look and feel like.
