On tap at the Toronado. Poured into a pint glass. No abv info is given.

A-Pours a crystal clear glowing yellow-orange. It has a thin off white head that cover 80% of the glass and slowly recedes toward the edges of the glass. There are really no visible bubbles and it quickly looks flat. Leaves a tiny patch of lace.

S-It starts out with a nice fresh hoppy nose. There is lots of citrus and dank. For some reason it seems to fade somewhat from its strong start, but it still smells pretty good.

T-It starts with citrus and banana flavor. There is some noticeable breadiness in the middle. It is grainy in the back. It has a mellow level of bitterness. There is a nice touch of sweet malt that does not overpower the hops.

M-Medium bodied and it has a comfortable carbonation level.

D-Not sure if the recipe has been changed, but I remember this tasting better.

Not sure if this was an off batch or a new recipe, but this has lost some of its luster.

Serving type: on-tap

Father`s day gift.

Into a pint glass:

A: light golden yellow colored body, one finger white foamy head slowly dies, minimal light lacing clings to the glass

S: strong citrus and piney hops up front, malts start to displace the hops ever so slightly as it warms a bit

T: bittersweet all the way through even though the malts start to come out a bit morein the taste, sticky sweet aftertaste, dry bitter finish

M: light to medium, sessionable, carbonation felt appropriately for the style and for me

O: this is a very good AIPA that I would definitely have again
