12oz bonus from goldtwins. Pours orange in a tan head. Nose is sweet and hoppy with a nice citrus punch. Taste is sweet and rich, with a lot of resin, and a big punch. Overall a pretty tasty IPA.

Bottle. Pours a yellow gold, with a fizzy head. Weak aroma of hops. The flavor has a nice dose of hops, but is off-puttingly bready and soapy. An odd cherry flavor is also present. Not bad, but very run of the mill.

Bottle Pours a clear gold with a good white head. The head lasts very well and produces good lacing. Aroma is of hops and citrus. Very Smooth and lightly carbinated. Almost more flat than crisp, but is good. Has a very soft aftertaste. A very drinkable IPA. I personally like one a little more robust but this is good and you could drink many in one sitting.

Pours penny copper with a medium head which disappears quickly. Malt and mango in the nose with hops hiding underneath. Very subdued, mild hop taste with malt and banana bread. Slightly sweet and dry with medium carbonation. Not bad, defintely worth a try.

This poured a solid copper in color with a thin head. The nose is filled with lots of sweet citrus and tropical fruits with a touch of crème, herbs and caramel. In the mouth it is medium-bodied with plenty of carbonation and a dry, slightly bitter finish. Overall, this was well-balanced and enjoyable. If this was a local, it would be easy to put this in a regular rotation.
