On tap at the brewpub in Fayetteville, AR. Pours a clear, copper-gold colored body with a finger-width, creamy and frothy, beige head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is grapefruit citruses with some pines, grass, and a light floral note. A bit of a caramel sweetness with touches of bread and a few resins as well. Flavor is similar. Bigger grapefruit citruses with a light piney resin and grass up front before a light caramel sweetness and touch of breadiness comes in. A few floral notes towards the end and a trace of toast as this finishes dry and moderately bitter before leaving a lengthy aftertaste. Medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a pretty solid IPA. Nothing special, but well hopped and nicely balanced to keep this enjoyable. Nice beer.

(Draught) Pours a clear orange body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, grass, pine, and resin. Flavor of pine, grass, citrus, and caramel with a dry, bitter earthy finish.

Draft at the source. Hazy amber color, thick beige head with good retention, solid lacing. Aroma og grass and light pine. Taste starts as sweet fruit, then bitter pine resin. Decent. Could use more aroma hops, imho.

Orange pour with white frothy white head and lace. Sweet caramel malt, resiny hops, and bready aroma. Sweet caramel malt a nice resiny finish. A tad thin on the ibu’s for an ipa but pretty nice. Medium bodied with good carbonation.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber orange with a thick white head. Aroma of pale caramel malt, light fruits. Flavor of bready pale malt and floral hops upfront with some sharp bitterness in the finish. Ok. It’s drinkable anyway. 6/4/7/4/13 (3.4/5)

Pale copper in color with a sticky head that had good retention. Thin hops and thin palate Not the least bit exciting.

Draught. Pours a copper amber with a thin soapy off-white head that leaves full sheets of lacing down the glass. Aroma is grapefruit and pine. Flavor is dry piney hops up front that is not extraordinarily bitter but pleasant, a nice mild sweet body and with a nice floral aftertaste. Medium bodied.

Thanks a lot to my brother for bringing me a growler of this brew. The body is a pretty dark gold and orange color with a slightly off white thin head that sticks around. The aroma is classic grapefruit with some hints of fall leaves and caramel. The taste is lightly pine with some fresh cut wood. There is also some light hints of walnuts. A decent IPA that would be good for a session.

On draft at the pub with Brett and Hannah. A decent yet not overwhelming (and fairly ho hum) take on the style. Pours a hazy amber color, normal head, decent lacing showing (not great for the style, though). The aroma was light pine hops, some caramel. The flavor starts with some caramel and transitions to some citrus and pine hops, not overwhelming, and certainly less hoppy than many an IPA. Mouthfeel was probably the best part, coming off as fairly well attenuated and clean (maybe due instead to somewhat of a dry effect?).

on tap at the brewpub. pours rich gold with an off-white head. medium malty body. the aroma smells quite hoppy. the flavor if fairly well hopped. finishes drying.
