On tap at Raleigh World Beer Fest. Pours a lighter, clear amber with a small, beige head. Nose is citrus hops, caramel malt, grapefruit. Taste is citrus hops with tangerine and mango. Some bready malt in the body. Citrusy, bitter finish. Yum.

Bottle. Slightly hazy rich amber beer with a light tan head. Light grapefruit and light caramel aroma. Caramel and grapefruit flavor with light summer fruits. Medium bodied. Lower bitterness for an IPA. Caramel lingers with grapefruit and light pine.

Thanks to jrob21 for the bottle! Golden amber pour, white head. Citrus, grapefruit,caramel, hints of bread, flowers, and some spice. It’s okay, but not outstanding.

Bottle. Poured sunburst amber, close to ruby up top, with a thick cream head. Aroma was both spicy and citric hops, fruity almost like grape, bready, pine, and a little grapefruit. Pine, bready, raisinish, citrus, slight lemony spice. Palate true to the style. Really good.

Amber pour. Herbal/floral nose, taste follows same vein, with tones of grapefruit, and of course lots of hops. Not my favorite style of beer, but for still pretty enjoyable anyway, because of a commendable balance of flavors. Nice.

Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. Pours a nice medium copper. Nose of powerful American hops, fragrant and wonderful! Palate is hop-forward, but nicely balanced, so as not to be simply hop liquid. Finishes with a nice dry quality that makes it an easy, and perhaps slightly dangerous, beverage. Well done.

Bottle via a trade with hopdog. Pours with a small, off-white head over a hazed orange body. Good lace. Aroma of herbal and sticky hops, caramel and exotic fruits. Taste is herbal hops with toasted bread and passion fruit. Slightly fizzy mouthfeel and on the watery side of things.
