This is pretty much your average IPA. That’s not a bad thing, though. Small white head, hazy amber color with the hoppiness that you would expect from the style. Somewhat thin on mouthfeel. I enjoyed this beer, it just doesn’t stand out from the crowd.

Pretty standard IPA - nothing amazing. Hazy copper colored, tinted head. Would buy again.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a thin white head. Aroma is pine, honey hops. Flavor is bitter dry hoppiness with some citrus present.

Pours with a white head and a golden color. Aroma is pretty hoppy with some citrus flavor. Flavor has some hops, but not as much as other IPAs. Fruit flavor abounds. Some malts.

Pours out a somewhat cloudy light copper color with an off white head. Aroma of some citrus and floral hops. Taste is similar to aroma floral hops with some grapefruit coming through, nice malty sweetness for balance. Very drinkable

Pours a hazy golden orange color with a thick frothy eggshell head. Has some really nice lacing. Aroma is thick with cotton candy, some floral notes, and a touch of grapefruit rind on the back end. The flavor lacks some of the bitterness up front. There is a nice honey flavor with some dandelion followed up by the citrus. A slight bitterness appears in the finish, but it isn’t much. Nice balance. Not a whole lot of carbonation. Medium bodied.

Pours a cloudy golden brown with a nice thick creamy head. Lightly carbonated with a pretty good balance of hops. Goes down really smooth, lasting finish. Really good offering. Not over the top with hops like a lot of IPA’s.
