hazy orange, wispy beige head, bits of lace, sweet crystal malt aroma with a large grapefruit rind character, big sweet crystal malt flavor, lots of piney sweetness to go with the malt sweetness, citrus comes in and acts to balance the sweetness, touch of fruity orange, bitterness starts midway through and builds to a lasting bitter finish,

(12oz bottle) Small off-white head atop crystal clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/grapefruit, some peach, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, sharp grapefruit/pine that is quite bitter, a breach of the promise of balance suggested by the aroma and description. Medium body, some chewiness, acidity.

Clear amber color, small off-white head, lace. Piney, fruity aroma (passion fruit). Very fruity IPA, lots of juicy - aromatic hoppy flavors. Passion fruit and resin are dominants. Long, but average bitterish aftertaste. Easy to drink, balanced IIPA.
