Chock full of evergreen and tart citrus, the aroma is strong and real nice. Light golden-copper body with a bubbly white head and stringy lacing. The beer has a glowing haze due to the bottle conditioning. Filling beer with a very bitter mouth feel that really awakens the taste buds. Grapefruit galore backed by resinous pine, bread, and nuts.

The hops blew me away. The moment I stuck my nose in the beer, it was all HOPS. Love it. Beautiful white fluffy head with great lacing. Light amber body and goes down your throat perfectly. Enjoy this great Californian IPA chilled. Our summers are better with Racer 5 IPA.
Bottle at Shenandoah Beer Throwdown, thanks argo0. Orange, hazy, small white head. Aroma is grapefruit, pine and caramel. Flavor is quite malty, and a great deal of citrusy, pine hops at end, with a slight bit of warming alcohol in aftertaste. Very tasty.
