3.25/5  rDev -15.8%
look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Pours a pretty clear bright golden-orange color with a short white bubbly head. No retention. No noticeable carbonation but noticeable sediment throughout that's not yeast. Looks more like citrus pulp

Sweet malty citrus, grapefruit peel and a little floral on the nose. Pretty simple and restrained

Flavors are pretty well balanced, but not very much going on. Not complex at all. Mild hops notes. Aftertaste is hoppier than the middle. There's a slight odd bitterness up front transitioning to a balanced malt to hop middle, then fresh hoppy aftertaste

Smooth and slightly bitter mouthfeel that's medium bodied with decent carbonation

Overall this beer is pretty good. Not sure I'd order or buy it again if I wanted an IPA with the other options out there these days. On the bottle it says "Lively Hop Flavor." I don't get that at all. It's a very balance mild hop flavor. It could be a good IPA for people new to or trying and IPA.

L: A bright orange-yellow with a bit of haziness, it develops a nice froth of yellow-tinted head that stays around for the duration and leaves respectable lacing
S: While initially hitting with a big grassy and citrus hops note, lots of caramel malts can be seen to come in and balance it out before an almost sulfuric / vegetal note comes out pretty clearly
T: While it may seem a little unusual, I do like the flavor from the hops as citrus, including bittersweet notes more akin to grapefruit, come out very clearly, it brings in waves of pine resin, grass, and leaf before a clear tobacco-like note emerges; caramel and sweetness almost like brown sugar come on strong, but in my opinion don't detract from the hops to the degree that it could
F: Carbonation bites up front and it even begins creamy, but that all fades somewhat quickly; the medium body holds but doesn't lead into the dryness an IPA should, and the sweetness might be a bit much for the palate

Substantial yellow, white head, almost 1". Aroma hit the citrus notes.

Taste had mildly toasted pale malts. Lots of hops, not overly bitter, done well. One of the first citra-citrus forward beers of the last few years. Affordable in 6pack format, would not hesitate to buy this one again if it came around.
