Commercial Description:
Our organic IPA uses Tomahawk, Cascade, and Centennial hops for a rustic, rough-hewn hop character that pairs great with food or relaxing among friends. Prominent citrus and pine aromas and bitterness that is not over the top balances this medium bodied copper-colored brew.

Bottle Clear golden pour with great white microbubble head and great lacing. Not too bitter on the aroma, no distinguished hops. Flavor is much higher in hop content. Has a bit of "organic flavor" I’ve noted in several other organics. Overall, a good IPA. Extra points for organic!

Bottle at JCT kitchen paired with the trout. I was impressed with the aroma of this one. Big floral and pine nose. Very impressive. The flavor was not my favorite hop type flavor. It was that metallic bitter sort of hoppiness. The color was a decent light brown with orange hues. Decent white head. Malt balance was unnoticeable.

Classic pine and hop aroma. Taste does not overload the hops but instead is very smooth with a great balance of flavors. With a mild bitterness in the finish, I found this to be a very underrated beer.

Hazy amber, moderate head with solid lacing and retention. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus and light spicy hops, caramel backing. There’s a hint of butterscotch. Medium bodied, light bitterness, almost sweet. Not much character. This brewery is so random.

On the heels of Full Sail’s British-style IPA that I liked a lot, I’m left saying that this is a notch below. This doesn’t have quite the balance I’m expecting; too mellow and citrusy-sweet to achieve full effect. I’m getting a definite very-cloudy appearance on this but not a whole lot in the way of head . . . but the foam and bubbles that are there are more than minimal and pleasing to behold.

Currently playing: All of Radiohead in random rotation. ("Weird Fishes," then "Hunting Bears.")

Very citrusy flavor and aroma. Dark orange and cloudy. Starts off with citrus and then ends in the bite of the bitterness.

amber orange with an off white head...malts and sweetness in the aroma, a little bit of citrus...lots of pine at the start, very bitter finish.. thin mouthfeel...finish is crisp...first organic beer for me (I think)....I enjoyed this one...not as good as my favorite IPAs but under rated ...3.14 seems low to me
