Tap, poured a light amber color, very clear, not cloudy at all, which made me somewhat suspicious that the wait staff had again screwed up my order. However, the aroma was extremely hoppy, as was the sweet somewhat biting flavor. A great IPA on a warm day in the sun, I ordered two, I liked it so much.

Bottle. Poured clear golden amber with a medium white head. NIce citric fruity aroma with grassy notes. Flavour is citric as well but with peaches and mango notes. A very refreshing IPA.

From a bottle. Grapefruity, tropical fruit aroma. Flavor is a great combination of some sweet malt, grapefruit and tropical fruits (do I taste pineapple?), and hop bitterness. Lots of sheeting action on the glass. Really like flavor complexity, balance and restraint with the hops.

Thanks to cloudskipper for this one. Pale golden-orange brew with a thick fluffy white head. Very sticky head that lasts and lasts. Aroma is beautiful with rich sweet tropical citrus and mango. Grapefruity with a lightly zesty spiciness. A kiss of black pepper as well. Really nice, aromatic sweetness. Papaya and loads of tropical fruitiness. Really tasty IPA.

A very dependable brew. Had on tap at trash zone. Nothing majorly impressive, but enjoyable none the less
