Light orange brew with a thick, frothy head. Excellent retention and forms a sticky layer of lace with every sip. Completely transparent.

Awesome citrusy aroma, I just can't wait to take a sip.

Huge hop explosion from the get-go. Tons of fresh, citrusy hops with an orange and grapefruit bite. Malt provides a smooth backbone with bready, grain-like flavors. Hops and malt play a careful balancing act with the hops taking the edge while still allowing the malt enough spot-light to keep it interesting. The result is an exceptional balance and a perfect combination of flavors.

Solid medium-body and perfect level of carbonation. Dry and satisfying finish.

I love this beer! Every sip was so perfect, it just left me wanting more. Probably the best IPA I have tried to date. Extremely refreshing and tasty. A must try!

Just realized I didn't have a review for this one. Pulled a bottle from the fridge and promptly poured into a tulip.

Pours a translucent gold color with roughly two fingers of foamy, pure-white head. Medeocre retention, but phenomenal lacing. The aroma is of spicy, earthen hops, pine, orange, and grapefruit. There's some wet earth and a bit of grass, as well as some subtle floral notes. Perhaps a hint of caramel malt to round things out. It tastes of lemon, grapefruit, and orange citrus up front, with spicy, almost gritty hops following suit. Some earth, grass, and even a touch of coriander appear, and a tiny amount of sweet caramel finishes it off. The mouthfeel is light (but not watery), vibrant, and bitter. It finishes clean and doesn't linger any longer than desired. Overall, this is a great, well-rounded IPA that is easy to drink and full of flavor. It does a great job of showcasing aromatic, flavoring, and bittering hops all in one, and is one I'm happy to frequent.
