Verdict Tangerine, grapefruit, and floral hops, then juicy citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. The close dries into bitter grapefruit peel and stays there. A balanced American IPA with peach, apricot and lemon, clean malt and firm hop bitterness. Fuller body and a dry, lingering finish give it a convincing shape.

Sweetness Differs Dry —
Likeness Floral hops and citrus in the aroma, then pine and tropical fruit. The dry, bitter close is grapefruit peel, and it lingers. The likeness is that peel and the pine. The juice is the greeting. —
