Bottle from BevMo. Nice cloudy amber pour with a big white head. Aroma of caramel, grapefruit, pine. Flavor much the same, extremely well balanced but with a big hop bite at the end. Very tasty.

on tap at The Irish Pol in Philly....good solid IPA. Definitely get the pine and citrus but the hops in this one are fantastic. This one will keep me coming back.

the only thing i dont like about this beer is the palate, everything else is great. it tastes exactly as an IPA should, some pine, some citrus, a lot of hops, a little malty, perfect, but just a little strong on the palate.

Bottle. Really nice IPA. Golden-amber color with a white head. Aroma is floral hops. Flavor is sweet caramel malt and grapefruity hoppiness, very well-balanced. Hop oils linger on the palate. Really smooth.

Welcoming floral aroma, citrus hops, medium bitterness, and a sweet malt finish. Sampled @ World Cafe Live Beats, Brews and BBQ event.

Amber, slightly hazy color with a dense 2 finger head. Notes of grapefruit, pine, and caramel on the nose. Grapefruit flavors up front, caramel malt in the middle, and a slightly bitter finish. Medium thick pallet. One of my favorite bottled IPAs.

Surprisingly good. Very flavorful with a nice almost sweet finish. Not overly bitter.
