Had on tap at whole foodscolumbus circle. Pours a clear golden orange color with 1.5 fingers head, mild retention very nice lacing.

Smell is typical for an IPA- floral and pine hops dominate, with a hint of lemon. No malt to be detected. Nice, but nothing amazing.

Taste is very nice- light grain flavor up front, closely followed by hop bitterness,floral then earthy pine hops, finishes dry. Good bitterness- not a malt bomb like other DIPAs.

Mouthfeel is very nice- medium light body, moderate to full carbonation, a decent dose of resin. This is a very nice beer for the style and the price. Nothing crazy but very solid and drinkable.

Serving type: on-tap

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

Serving type: 12 oz bottle poured into IPA glass

A: Lighter golden color. Lighter than I would have expected for this style. Still pretty to look at. One finger head, left small amount of lacing on the side of the glass.

S: Definitely can smell the hoppy content of the beer. Noticed the aroma well before I poured it. Very nice citrus and grapefruit aroma. Some floral notes as well.

T: Moderately bitter. Not quite as much bitterness as i was hoping for. Slightly mislead by the great aroma. Slight caramel taste to it. Definitely taste the citrus, fruity flavors, some grapefruit. Masked the higher abv quite nicely.

M: Generally good carbonation. Mouthfeel was not disappointing. Medium body.

O: A good beer, but with so many other rather outstanding IPAs out there, this one may not be one i will go back for on a regular occasion, but definitely glad i grabbed a sixer of it. For I will definitely want more than one glass.

Serving type: bottle
