3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pungent cat whizz and pine aroma. A cool label, nice play on the all-seeing eye, the beer itself is a very foggy apricot affair with flocculent yeast floaters. Fair enough AIPA, nothing spectacular. Edgy grapefruit pith flavors, not as sweet as it smells, light caramel. Spritzy grapefruit finish. Publix @ I-10.

[Bottle] Pours a light amber color with a thin layer of white foam on top. Hoppy pine and grapefruit notes in the nose. Moderate hoppy citrus notes throughout the flavor. Also some caramel and light grass in the finish. Prickly carbonation. Average mouthfeel and body. Seemed pretty decently balanced. Enjoyable.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured pretty bright orange with a ton of yeast sediment out of the bottom of the bottle. This snaked its way down through the beer until the whole thing was pretty cloudy. Haven’t seen that in a while from a commercial brew. Nice head; mix of big bubbles and small-bubble foam. Aroma is sweet, fruity, citrus hops. Loud grapefruit. Body is actually a bit thinner and wetter than expected. This stays super grapefruity through the finish. Solid bitter IPA. Not usually what I want in the style, but I like what this does with the grapefruit concept.
