Draft at the brewpub. Hazy golden-copper with a lasting disc of foam. Light aroma of citrus, resin and caramel. Flavors a well blended mix of the same with a grapefruit and resin finish. Light-medium body is lightly tingly with a nice dry finish.

Bottle, courtesy tpd975. Full copper pour, cloudy, filmy white head, thick lacing. Very bitter nose, grapefruit, some spicy grain. Dry grain flavors, tasty but lacking. Boring, but drinkable. Medium-bodied.

Had this both on tap and then from a growler between 24 and 30 hours old. The hops took a bit of a beating in growler form, but on tap there was tons of zesty grapefruit with some other tropical fruits mixed in, light, playful malt, quite lovely. The airy malt remained a positive from the growler, though the hops were not as popping and added only a general fruity/bitter quality. My numbers are what they are.

Growler from the brewpub. Pours a clear light orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet citrus and tropical fruits. Flavor of caramel malt upfront with a lighty fruity finish. Very nice and drinkable. Not super hoppy, but pretty chill nonetheless. 7/4/8/4/15 (3.8/5)

Thanks tpd975 for the share. Pours yellow gold with a white head. Nose is caramel, pine hops, booze, malt, and a decent amount of bite. Flavor is malt, pine sap, hop bite, and a caramel maltiness. Medium bodied and a nice IPA.

slightly hazy between copper and golden. Piny, citrus, flowery nose. Sweet citrus flavor with heavy grapefruit. I’d drink a few pints of this.
