22 oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a medium off white head. Very pleasant aroma of fresh grapefruit and pineapple. More grapefruit in the flavor, grass, pine, some malty sweetness, and a nice mild bitterness to the finish. Really don’t notice the alcohol in this. Very crisp on the palate with light carbonation. Very good iipa.

Pours clear amber with a frothy, thick white head. Huge grapefruit and pine aroma, a little sweetness. Taste is pure hops, very citrusy, pine, lots of bitterness. This is one of the better ones in a while. Slightly astringent, good bitter finish. This is a good one.

Hazy amber, moderate head with good lacing and retention. Aroma is typical PNW hops with huge grapefruit, pine, citrus and caramel. Medium to heavy body, fairly high bitterness with a dry finish. One of the best bang for the buck beers out there at $3 for 22oz.

Bottle courtesy of dirty_martini. Poured orange with white head. Loads of citrus and hops in the aroma. Taste was much of the same. Very citrusy start with a hoppy finish.
