Bottle. Amber pour with a tall, foamy white head. Aroma is mouth watering! Lots of citrus, pine, floral hops and tropical fruit. Nice hop bomb aroma! Taste is citrus, soft spicy hops, pine notes, grapefruit, soft grains, spice, and floral and herbal hops. Body is medium with a dense, bubbly carbonation. Moderate lingering hop bitterness. Ends with more citrus, pine, floral hops, spice, tropical fruit, grains and spicy hops. Nice one!

Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold copper with a large frothy off-white lhead leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong floral hop with pine and grapefruit. Medium mouthfeel with a resin hop and citrus with a spicy malt and nice bitter finish. Easy to drink a very good IPA from Harpoon.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Champanes,
this drink had a hazy sunny orange pour and made an initial one and a half finger white head that receded to a thin cover, there were some spots and fingers of lacing on the sides of the glass, my search for evidence of sediment came up empty,
the aromas were toasted malt, bread, wheat, faint spice with floral and citrus hops, a little orange fruit,
this beer had flavors of toasted malt with citrus, orange skin pith and grassy, soft bittering hops, light bread and wheat in the background,
the finish was mostly dry with some hop bitterness and faint grass, herb like hints trailing on the tongue,
the mouth feel was less than medium with soft to average carbonation,
light on the palate and pretty easy to drink, I can see this beer as a nice thirst quencher for Hot Summer days, a nice IPA.

Very floral hop aromas. Floral hop flavors. Overall a very good white IPA style beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the Khyber Pass, Philadelphia. A slightly hazy pale straw colour with a thin white head - certainly looking like a White Beer; rather lacking in aroma with just a trace of spice; in the mouth, it’s much more IPA like with fresh grapefruit flavours; but again the finish is subdued. An interesting idea that’s good in parts.
