Bottle. Gold/orange pour with persistant small white head. Pine, grapefruit and slight tropical fruit aroma. Flavor is a great! Pine, grapefruit and lemon zest and minor tropical fruit flavors. Small malt flavor, but it’s nice. Soft bitterness. Medium to light body with perfect carbonation. Dry hoppy finish. Very refreshing on this hot summer day. This is a fantastic APA.

Growler. Easily one of the best beers I've ever had. The depth of flavor was absolutely amazing. I think that the only thing holding this back was low carbonation, and that may have just been due to the growler being in a box for a week from CA to PA.

dchmela (2416) - Orlando, Florida, USA - MAY 5, 2013
Tap at Toronado. Pours a dark gold with a thin white head. Really fresh pine hop aroma, crisp but not overdone. Taste is well balanced malt with pine and citrus hop taste. Excellent.

jandd1983 (1621) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - MAY 2, 2013
Sampled at DLD 2013. It poured a clear light amber color with a white head. The aroma was hoppy, citrus and grapefruit. It was medium on the palate with average carbonation. The taste was sweet, malty, bready, a nice dose of pine hops, with a light and bitter hop finish. Good stuff.

J_man (553) - Tustin, California, USA - APR 24, 2013
On tap at Tustin Brewing. Grassy, catty hops coming off a deep Orange body with a wispy white head. Lots more of those hops in the flavor with grapefruit juice and rind, along with a dry thistlely quality. Body is fairly thin with just enough sweetness (white peaches and oranges) to balance the hop bite. Finishes dry with a lastly bitterness and some floral in the aftertaste. Nice hoppy IPA, very refreshing if a bit one dimensional.

Growler thanks to raiders707. Pours a crystal clear golden color with large pillowy white head that dissipated quickly. Aroma similar to Pliny. Orange, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, and some maltiness. Taste is sweet tropical fruit, with some grapefruit bitterness, and ends with some grassy notes.
