Clear dark amber pour with fluffy off-white head. Piney hops on the nose. With caramel malts and fresh fruity hops you cant go wrong.

BOTTLE: clear golden color with nice beige head. Aroma is strong piny hops. Flavor has a nice bite in the bitterness along with strong hop flavor and a very long dry finish.

Pours a deep orange-amber with white head, which dissipates into a thin film. Big nose of citrus, pine, and flowers. Flavor is a lot of hops, with a decent amount of toffee and caramel malt, some spice. Mouthfeel is medium. Perfect for hop heads like me and the dude.

bottle poured a light amber in color with a thin light tan head that fell quickly. aroma has citrus floral hops, light grapefruit, sweet caramel malt, and light alcohol. body is medium light with average carbonation. flavor has plenty of resinous citrus malt and a fairly good dose of malt to stand up to it. nice sweet balance to the citrus fruits and finishes with some bitterness and a pleasing texture. very nice west coast ipa.

Bomber. Pours a deep, filtered, copper golden color with a normal sized white head. Aroma is citrusy, floral, familiar Centennial hops though the intensity is moderately low. I don’t know how fresh this bottle is but it’s certainly lacking a bit in the aroma. Taste is fruity, citrusy, lightly bitter and substantially watery. A run of the mill IPA. I could certainly drink a lot of this but it does not stand out.

Like the bottle so I picked it up. Pours out a clear light copper color with a small to moderate white head. Aroma of citrus and some sweet malts. Flavor is nicely balanced, pine and citrus hop come through with some nicely balanced malts. Very drinkable, and rather solid, even better that I can now find it at a store within walking distance.

Bottle. Quit large creamy like off-white and very lasting head. Good display of lacework. Somewhat clear amber color. Aroma of lovely grapefruit, pine, citrus, floral notes as well. Over the palace came mild fruity and malty notes. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and dry texture. Moderated bitter flavor with light sweetness. Dry and floral grapy like lingering finish. Very nice IPA.
