Poured cloudy yellow with an off-white head. Grapefruit aroma. Light and crisp with notes of citrus and grapefruit. Not overly bitter. Decent, but I do not quite get the hype.

Pours a very nice hazy golden orange color, nice carbonation, very nice one-finger plus creamy off-white head, lots of nice sticky lacing afterwards. The nose is hoppy, with some malts, lots of citrus and pines. The taste is a hop bomb, nice balance of malts, nice notes of citrus/pines. Medium body. Very drinkable, this is an awesome IPA.

Draft, pours a hazy yellow with a off white head. Good hops and smooth crisp aroma. Very nice taste with an okay kick.

Bottle. Hazy yellow color, brisk carbonation and a lingering foamy head. Flavor is sweet full bodied malt followed by a big kick of floral, grassy hops. Medium bodied. Finish is lingering, a bit sweet. Good IPA? For sure. Top 3 IPA in the world? Not sure. Would like to try one of these fresh on tap sometime. Will re-rate when I find the fresh version. For now the rating stands.

Amber with an excellent off white head that lasts. Hops and lychees along with a little vanilla in the aroma. Something dusty about the taste. Perfectly balanced, fruity, hoppy and inoffensively dry. A great smooth finish.
