Medium orange, nice head. First glass was clear, 2nd was filled with yeast chunks because of an overzealous pour on my part. Aroma was pure hop juice, with an emphasis on grapefruit. Flavors also focused on grapefruit hops, but not bitter in the finish surprisingly. Although not thin bodied, it could have used some more malt to stand up to the hop onslaught. Nice, aggressive beer though. Could have gone bigger for the 10th!

Pours an orange-amber with a medium white head. Nose is stiff with hops, fruit and light malt. Taste is comprised of citrusy hops with orange being dominant and some underlying fruit notes. There is some malt but it takes a backseat to the hops. The mouthfeel and finish are surprisingly not bitter, but rather smooth and slightly crisp. Good beer!
