The beer pours amber colored, with a very puffy white foam than clings to the glass. It's bright and clear when candled. There's also lots of bubbles in there.
It had a nice sharp citrus hops aroma, which I liked a lot. Initially, the taste is as I expected - hoppy with some citrus tastes, a little spice, and some fruitiness. But, the twist here is that the finish is very, very malty. It didn't have that hoppy burst I was expecting at the end, but instead sort of died away quietly with flavors of malt and spice.
Not bad. I'm glad I had it fresh on draft, and I like the flavors, which end up coming from - in large part - the amount of Mosaic and Citra hops they stuff into it. If we're talking fresh-hop citrus IPAs, I think Lonerider's "Hops You Rode In On" is more my speed, but I still found the "Fresh Squeezed" to be delicious.
