What about the beer?
Colour is white-flaky hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma has a straight flush of citrus – lemon, grapefruit and orange – with piny and fruity drops. Taste begins with piny bitter grapefruit. Bitter grapefruit-lemon juice with citrus peel and spicy pine takes over. Towards the end sweet orange-mango juice gets through to the pine-grapefruit mix. Aftertaste has freshly bitter grapefruit, tart lemon and dry pine.
Fresh citrus-packed Double IPA. A very good one, though I don’t believe this to belong to the sub-style of New England/Vermont IPA’s: there’s a fine amount of unshamed bitterness, especially in the finish. Rich in fruits, pine and bitterness. Delicious.

Thought of bitter and fruity. Thought of Jimi Hendrix. Picked one song.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience: The Wind Cries Mary (DailyMotion)
From the 1967 album Are You Experienced, the song was written by Jimi Hendrix.
