Bottle shared by footbalm, thanks man. Pours a clear orange color with a small bubbly white head. The aroma is awesome; loads of rich grapefruit and citrus hops, very strong and sweet hop aromas. The taste is similar; sweet citrus and grapefruit hops, some light bitterness, very smooth and quaffable. A nice IPA, not really aggressive, but damn nice.

Bottle. Dunno what to say except this is a fresh and hoppy beer... really, that just about covers it. Big citrusy and sweetly resiny hops. This was enjoyed pretty fresh, so the flavors came out well and no astringency. Big bright golden-orange pour with fresh hops at the bottom of the bottle. When we poured the gunk out of the bottom, it was grey-green hop goodness. Easy to drink and quite tasty. Enjoyed the slightly lower ABV.

22 oz. bottle poured into a snifter has a yellow golden color with light visual light carbonation and a thin white ring in the glass for head. aroma has sweet grapefruit, wet hop juicy resins, citrus, and grass. all about the wet hops here. mouth feel is light with low carbonation and has a nice coating. flavor has a firm dose of bitterness, sharp citrus peel, grapefruit, pine, and sweetness that starts to sneak in. finishes dry and makes the mouth watery bringing on orange peel, grass, and floral goodness. powerful flavor for a single ipa but remaining light and refreshing. really impressive.

On tap at Lost Abbey for the Saints and Sinners party. Pours a hazy golden-amber with a thick, white head. Bright aroma, of citrus and pine hops. Taste is very bitter, of citrus hops and preserved lemons. Lingering bitterness. Bright and very drinkable.

Bottle shared by wolf. Weird light yellow color, good head. Great smell of grapefruit.Nice taste of fresh citrus hops with a bitter kick in the aftertaste. Grapefruit taste. Light textured compared to other IPA’s. Clean and crisp though. Very enjoyable, another west coast winner. Thanks wolf
