Commercial Description:
A West Coast Double IPA So mega-hopped it will take you to hop heaven. We’ve used hops in the boil, more hops in the giant hopback, and added to that, an incredible amount of dry-hopping for that cutting-edge “hop bite.” Once you’ve tasted this unique beer, all others pale in comparison. 1.072 OG Classified IBU 8%ABV

Nice melon orange color with some floaties. A nice white film of lace. Aroma is very fresh, grapefruit and pine. Flavor is citrusy and refreshing. A beautiful summer beer.

22oz bomber, no date. Pours a clear golden orange with a one finger slowly fading off white head. This one has some delicious aromas of pineapple, citrus--namely grapefruit--floral hops, some pine, and some sweet caramel malts. Flavor has a bit more resiny pine, though the pineapple is also quite strong.There are also some sweet caramel and grainy notes. Bitterness never really gets out of hand with this. Alcohol is somewhat noticeable only in the throat, and a few seconds after the swallow--overall masked quite well. Burps pine needles. Soft light to moderate carbonation, medium body. Great ass beer.

Gold body with a thin white head. Aroma is northwest hops with wildflowers and orange zest. Straight hoppy, this is hop juice in the purest form.

Bottle from cbkschubert; Nose of floraland piney hops, no citrusas per most IPAs; Slightly hazy light copper witha medium, glass-lacing beige head; flavor was piney hop bitterness lasting to the finish in the medium body.

Bottle shared by puddintane, thanks! Hazy orange pour with a creamy white head. Aroma of citrus, grass, light caramel malt, some pineapple and some other tropical fruitiness. Flavor of pine and grapefruit, a bit of tropical fruit coupled with some light sweet malts. Bittersweet flavor throughout, some stickiness to the mouthfeel with a bitter/sticky finish. Overall a really nice IPA.
