Growler, courtesy hopscotch. Pours a mostly clear medium golden color with a foamy, off-white head. Wet, spotty lacing marks the glass. The nose shows a pretty ample citrus hop profile, with primarily orange blossom and lemony notes showing a top a light toffee and rye grain background. Flavors are fresh, crisp and hoppy, with sharp lemon bitterness working nicely with the rye, which I find to be a sharp grain. Lightly sweet toffee offers balance. Medium bodied, semi-dry, and crisp on the palate, it drinks easy for 7%. Very nice brew.

Bottle from the Otown throwdown. Hopscotch on the hookup. Bright yellow pour with a small whtie head. Aroma of fresh papaya, mango, and grass. Nice hops on the nose and some serious citrus hop bite on the tongue. Malty, fruity and hoppy...yu!

Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a lightly hazy gold with a small off white head. Smells of dry hops, a little bread, with touches of spice andcitrus. the flavor has a pretty crisp citrus touch to it, with a good amount of hop bitterness as well. A little bit soapy in the finish, but still a very refrshing and tasty beverage.

On tap at O’Briens. Pours with a golden body, with a small, fading white head. Aroma of citrus hops, dank, rye spiciness, and caramel. Taste is tons and tons of citrus and pine hops with a touch of mango, a bit of rye spice as well. A very nice drinking IPA. Water like mouthfeel, light carbonation.
