Poured from a bottle into a Duvel tulip. I'm review 500 for this beer. Hooray?

A- pours a gorgeous, transparent shade of orange with a half finger white head. The head fades pretty quickly, but leaves excellent lacing.

S- super juicy grapefruits! Smells divine.

T- it's bitter, but not tongue-meltingly so. There's a ton of grapefruit coming out of this, with a nice pine backbone. The sweet aftertaste of the grapefruit sticks around for awhile

M- it's got some syrupy qualities to it, but at the same time, it's a little thin. Does that make sense? I really like the texture of it, though. It works well

O- great beer. Not as in your face as some other west coast IPAs, but it's got a lot going on

A - Dark orange brown with nice carbonation and medium body

S - Loads of pine with a light caramel malt backbone

T - Tons of pine up front that give it a good bitterness. Light caramel malt comes through in the background to give it a nice balance and sweetness

M - Thick with lots of resin that lingers on in the finish

O - Solid piney IPA that comes through with a lot of resin that lingers on.
