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.

This beer pours a deep amber with a medium white head. The aromas are pine, citrus and and a little wood. The flavors are the same, dry pine and citrus. Overall this was a nicely brewed beer. Cheers!

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX.Pours a very nice looking deep amber with off-white head. Aroma is great! Nice, refreshing grapefruit and malt. Flavor is the exact same way. Mouth feel is medium body with high carbonation. Overall, this is a VERY tasty, easy drinking IPA, very refreshing as well.....I’m impressed! Almost gave it a 17 overall....Just an overall, nice, tasty refreshing, easy drinking IPA with all the qualities you would expect from an IPA....Good shit!

Maybe it was the mood I was in but this was one really damn good IPA. Maybe with all the stouts I’ve been sucking down, I was hankerin’ for some hoppage and this delivered that fix for sure. The beer pours out a dark amber color, clear with a creamy light tan head, beautiful lacing and some nice staying power. Aroma has enough hop character to really satisfy my needs with a strong piney punch, followed up with a floral/sweet caramel note. Flavor is really something to enjoy. A near perfect blend of juicy hops and a toasted/caramel malts. Really a damn good job with the balance. The mouthfeel on this beer is so damn silky smooth, it borders on an oatmeal stout thickness. Just a chewy goodness that I really enjoyed. A sixer of this will do me fine tonight while watching the WS. Damn good IPA.

Poured from bottle into Pint glass. Clear orange-amber with a frothy white head and very nice lacing. Aroma of sweet toasted malts and citrus hops. Some pine as well. Much more hoppy and bitter than the smell indicates. Pine and citrus hops with a ever-so-slightly sweet toasted malt counterbalance. Finishes very bitter, which lasts and lasts. Moderate carbonation, medium body, very dry finish. Excellent IPA all around. Nice sipper but hard to have too many.
