A-a clear golden orange with a thin layer of white head that sticks to the glass and leaves a bit of lacing around the top

S-lots of hops-mostly citrus and a bit of pine, and breadlike malts

T-wow that is a lot of hops! Orange peel, grapefruit, and pine, and some sweet fruitiness (pears, apricots)

M-medium body, high carbonation, bitter and sort of sweet aftertaste if that combination is possible

Overall a very hoppy but still drinkable beer. I can see why people like it so much.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Nice amber hue with a thick creamy head. Good retention and lacing. Aromas of sweet pink grapefruit with hints of piney forest. Hops is upfront and in your face with assertive mid-palate true-to-type bitterness finishing to a pleasant astringency. Mouth feel is a bit on the light side, but overall it's an excellent IPA. If you're a fan of classic IPA bitterness, try this. Going to pour another right now.

Best by June. Tulip glass.

A: Pours a golden straw color with a finger of snow white head. Very good clarity. Pretty good retention with generous lacing.

S: Caramel candy, a hint of pink grapefruit and tangerine/blood orange.

T: Melted caramel, piney and juicy hoppiness, floral notes, and a well integrated mild bitterness on the finish.

M: Medium body and medium-light, soft carbonation.

O: Pretty drinkable, though the hop flavors are not particularly pronounced. Hard to tell how fresh this bottle is, though, so that may be a factor.
