Decent IPA but not my favorite. Body / mouthfeel falls short of my expectations. Nice color and decent hop taste. Not my favorite IPA.

12 oz bottle - pours and amber color with a decent whitish head. Aroma of citrus, hops and grass. Taste of orange/grapefruit and hops balanced out by some malt. Not quite as bitter as some IPA’s but it holds it own. Not a bad IPA - very drinkable.

On tap at magooes. Really nice Pale ale, with plenty of dry hops, just a little light on the fragrant types for an IPA, dark golden colormodest head that does not hold.

bottle poured a light amber in color with a thin white head that became a ring quickly. aroma has bitter citrus hops, honey like sweetness, and caramel malt. mouth feel is light with a nice brisk carbonation. flavor definitely has a hop smack but there is a decent amount of malt as well. citrus, resins, medium bitterness, caramel, and a nice lingering finish. solid session brew.

bottle: weizen: pours a clear yellow/ amber, lots of tiny pour bubbles. The nose is very hopp. The taste is very bitter upfront, not much else... honestly a bit annoying after awhile...

Bottle. Pours golden-orange color with foamy head. Aroma is earthy, floral and citrusy. Flavors of caramel, citrus, and spice. Leans toward EIPA. A little musty and muddled.
