12 oz bottle. Golden colour, thick off-white head. Beautiful hoppy aroma. Simcoe pinyness and some tropical pineapple notes. Soft resiny character. Great fresh hoppy aroma. Sweet apricot in the malt profile as well. Flavour is quite good, light resin underneath a fresh herbaceous hop flavour. Some sweet tropical and slightly piny notes. The malts show a bit of breadiness and toast, but the hops dominate here. Aroma is all PNW but the flavour is a little less so. Tasty IPA.

Bottle from nejhleader pours golden blonde w/ a white head w/ good lacing. Subtle fruity, flowery hop aroma matched by delicate flowery hop flavor. Not aggressively hopped. Drinkable w/ little hop bitterness but big hop fruitiness. Really good beer.

Pours an orange amber color with a large fizzy white head. Aroma of citrus, fresh pine hoppy smell, and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet op front, nice malty body with a hoppy bitter finish, damn good brew.

Nirvana for hop heads! A great hoppy beer! I would serve this to friends anytime. If you like Seierra Nevada Celebration, you’ll love this beer.

Nice pour that is orange tan with a fat creamy head. Wonderful hop aroma that is citrus and pine with a little candy. Yeah man, that’s bitter. Tongue numbingly bitter pine that makes me smile. Some toast flavor in the finish. Some grapefruit is here too. A nice hop experience. Ap-4 ar-7 tas-7 pal-3 ov-15

Bottle. Poured your basic translucent amber/gold....small whitish head. Nice hop nose...and the flavor follows suit. Decent maltiness to back things up. Medium bodied...decent bitterness. This is a pretty good IPA....wouldn’t mind having this one again.

(cask @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Nice orange/amber color with a fizzy and creamy white head. Aroma is full of hops. Very nice and floral. Flavor wasn’t as hoppy as I thought it would be, although it has a very nice hoppy taste. At the beginning it’s a load of hops and floral notes with a slightly sweet and malty middle and a bitter, hop finish. Very smooth and a little watery.
