Pours a pale copper color with a white head. Aroma is malty, caramel, and juicy citrus hops. Flavor is malty, toasty, grainy, and a bitter citrus finish.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, shimmering orange body with a small, wipsy, white head. Smell: Floral, leafy, even spicy hop character on a foundation of pale maltiness. Taste: Sweet, candied pale malts initially. Overall, a tangy hop character, with a number of leaves, flowers, maybe a few drops of spiced lemon water pass by the palate. Medium-high bitterness that lingers beyond the bittersweet finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A tasty, flavorful APA.

pours a clear gold copper with full white head, smooth citrus hop aroma, light palate with bitterness slowly arising in the front, wet aftertaste, not a bad session of a pale, but light on its depth.

Thanks Bill: Pours a light, cloudy orange with noticeable citrus/grapefruit character. This one is bitter from the first taste throughout. Almost bordering a bit harsh.

Pours a clear true amber with a nice head. The aroma is plenty of orange hops with a cracker malt backing. The flavor is nicely balanced for an IPA, but the hops comes through mostly in aroma and flavor instead of bitterness. Pretty easy-drinking beer.

12 oz bottle, via BA Deuane. Pours a nice clear dark gold body with a foamy small off-white head that settled to a wispy film. Fairly muted nose with a bit of citrusy hops and some crystal malt behind. The flavor is lots of high alpha hops, giving it lots of bitterness, but not a whole lot of hoppy flavor. The weak malt base really accentuates the unbalanced harsh bitterness. Lingering ashtray like harshness with a lingering crystal malt stale iced tea note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, on the drier side with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, this just isn’t my preferred expression on an IPA.
