look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Poured from a 22oz into a my Founders pint glass.

A - Golden tilting towards light orange. Eggshell head with great lacing.

S - Piney, citrusy in all the good ways. A little mango/pineapple.

T - Upfront grapefruit/mango/pineapple, then goes to pine. Has a slightly earthy finish along with more grapefruit/mango/pineapple.

M - Medium. Good carbonation.

D - High. This one tastes great. The medium body and good amount of carbonation make it go down easy. The dry finish is very refreshing.

Great IPA. I would put this in the top 5 of IPAs that I have had so for.

What can you say about one of the best? Some might call this a hop bomb, but its balanced so well they would be as wrong as Ariel was for taking those girls. A strong, dry hop presentation with spice, pine notes off of a thin white, low carbonation head. Beers like this make me want to live in the ballast point parking lot.
