A - Pours a mildly cloudy, slightly golden orange with a fairly dense finger of tan head. Really really nice retention, decent lacing.

S - Grapefruit/citrusy hops, a little zesty and piney resin, some sweeter tropical type citrus fruits as well. Slight toasty caramel malts.

T - Citrusy hops, a nice bitter semi-piney bite follows, sweetness/slightly toasty caramel malts at the finish.

M - Medium bodied or less, super drinkable. Good carbonation, perfect for a hot day

O - Pretty delicious, will definitely be going to this from time to time during the summer months.

It comes in a deep amber red color.

The aroma is big of grapefruit, tropical fruit, though the biggest is this resinous pine note..

The flavor has big simcoe and pine. If you're looking for pine hops, then this is your IPA. There is huge grapefruit flavor with a dry finish. It's very West Coast in its characteristics. This really stands out for its wonderful deep earthy and pine flavor.

I'm re-reviewing this because having this a third time on tap, the pine really stood out. Not sure why it was meek on tap before, but this was quite a big change from my previous review.

Serving type: on-tap
