Pour is clear golden orange with a thick tight white head. Nose is strongly balanced with caramel sticky malt and some doughiness. Hops are herbal and grassy, light but balanced. Taste is slightly more malt forward, toasted grains a stronger with the sweet malt behind and a bitter herbal hop finish. Lightly carbonated and creamy syrupy body.

Can relaxing by the Wigwam pool in the evening. Pretty bold IPA that had a significant amount of resin notes but also some juicy citrus notes. Nice and pleasant. Plus the cans are great for the pool.

Got in a trade with swingracex. 12 ounce can into pint glass, no canning date. Pours lightly hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, orange zest, tangerine, lemon zest, light mango, floral, caramel, grass, light pine, and floral earthiness. Nice aromas with good complexity of hop notes and moderate malt balance; fairly muted though. Taste of grapefruit, orange zest, lemon zest, tangerine, floral, grass, caramel, light pine, and floral earthiness. Fair amount of floral bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus zest, floral, grass, caramel, light pine, and earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of hop flavors; with a nice malt balance that does not overpower the hops; and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and moderately sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with no warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice IPA. Good balance and complexity of hop and malt flavors; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Can thanks to Pat! Pours a clear gold with a slight orange hue with a eggshell white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has a nice citrus and grass hop with a light bread backing. Flavor has a decent amount of citrus with a bit of flora and a grain backing.

Tap @ Four Peaks Tempe. Pours a dark golden orange appearance with a white head. Spicy, light ganja, a bit resiny aroma. Toasted malty, spicy, piney hoppy flavor. Nice beer.

I absolutely love this beer, So be forewarned. Pours a clean golden hue, with bright citrus hop notes and some bread. Tastes like it smells, big citrus notes with some bready malt characteristics that edge into the flavor profile. Finishes nice with lingering hop flavors. Overall this one of the few local beers I keep on hand at all times. It is a superb beer and something to show off to out of towners.

Clear gold, nice loose white head. Smells like citra hops, and toast. Flavor is earthy hops - my notes actually say tar, but in a good way. Sticky finish. Pretty good stuff...
