Poured into a pint glass with a golden colour, fizzy small head, lots of partiuclars. Aroma is floral with a ctirus aroma, grapefruit and hints of pine. Taste is medium hops, light malts, hints of grapefruit. Taste on the palate fades quick. Medium Body and good covering lacing.

Pours a hazy orange with a medium sized head that retains poorly. The aroma is of grapefruity hops, pine, sour peach and other citrus scents. The flavour is floral and hoppy with a malty, fruity finish that doesn’t last long enough. The palate is almost syrupy, especially in the finish. The lacing is impressive, leaving a film that coats the whole glass. Overall, this IPA is better than average, but not outstanding, as it has nothing unique or noteworthy about it.

This beer pours a nice golden color to it and it has a nice head to it. There are some nice hints of pine and hops as you smell it. There is a good hoppy taste but it is very mild.

On tap at Mile Square in Hoboken. I don’t know why i keep drinking IPAs knowing i’m not going to like them. This one is no exception. I can say, however, that hop-heads i know all seem to really like this beer. So it has that going for it. Which is nice.
