Commercial Description:
This big, rich IPA features Simcoe hops which give it both a fruity, piney hop nose and a clean, ringing bitterness. IN-between, the malt flavor is slightly caramel for a touch of malt sweetness. This IPA is well-balanced and very expressive with hops.

Bottle. Piney aromas, and flavors. A bit thin on the palate. A decent IPA!

Strong pineapple aroma and flavors with a minimal head. Dryish mild palate. Honey and pineapples for a fruity sweet balance. Great as a sesson IPA.

Bottle. Honey orange color, clear, small head. Striking, pungent honey nose. Fusel orange citrus with pine sap scented hop cones, covered by the thinnest layer of oxidation. Medium body, oily and wet, medium to low bitterness for IPA, hops are resinous and oily, flavors center on clover honey and tree sap. Good but not great.

Jakebra crush. So mislead by the aroma and appearance. Very nice hoppy nose. So nice. Flavor is disgusting. Oh my god. This beer is completely opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to aroma and taste. Total bummer, man.

Pours attractive IPA copper with a cream colored head. The nose is floral hoppy, but goes very herbal in the flavor.

exact same color as the Ale Asylum Hopalicious I just had only this one is clearer. aroma is strongly of earthy hops, the piney quality is not present as advertised. It is not that strong on the caramel so I don’t believe it is past its prime. I wonder if this beer only uses Simcoe hops. These are deceptively bitter, though, so I’ll give them that. Finishes with a moderate sweetness. Not bad, but not among my favorites.

How can this beer have such a high rating. I found the beer singularly bitter, not complex. Does it use only one kind of hop? I found it overwhelminly citrusy, like it was brewed with grapefruit zest. Aroma was fair. I’m an IPA fan, but not a fan of this beer.
