Draft, flour city brewers fest: clear piss yella...thin whiteboy suds hovering. Stale, lemony hop nose with a bit of wrongness floating around...not infection per se, just like something that shouldn’t be there...on an intellectual level. Wet mouthfeel, hoppy flavors bring out flavors of a hop or hop combo that simple does not seem to agree with me...just tastes a bit like lemony piss.

12 oz. bottle via trade with j12601 - Pours a clear golden color with a one finger thick off white head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is very malty. Probably an older bottle. Mostly toasted bready malt. Flavor is a little more balanced. Finish is also malty with a little hop bitterness. Medium body. A nice beer. Thanks Jay.

Bottle: Slightly hazy orange pour with a medium white head. Aroma, oranges, some traces of sweetness, and a bit of citrus. Flavor, citrusy, some pale malts, quite sweet. Odd bitterness, refreshing though.

Big thanks to davehoward for the bottle!
Slightly hazed honey color with a small white head. Smell is nice fruity sweet hops. Not over the top but very nice nose. Taste is fruity, slight tea hints, but mild bitterness and agummy slightly full mothfeel. Bit of a grainy malt sweetness in the finish and very nice IPA overall.

Bottle courtesy of tpd975 Pours cloudy golden with thin white head. Smell was herbal, somehow reminded me of tarragon and hoppy. Taste was very hopy and sweet, with a little hint of caramel malt and this herbal/floral presence. Very drinkable and a really nice beer.

Bottle thanks to goldtwins. Clear light amber with a tight thead. Nice sweet malt and piney hop aromas. Smooth, medium body. Decent grainy, lightly sweet bready pale malt flavor with a tasty piney hop bitterness to finish. Nice ipa

12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden orange with a thick head and lots of lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet and quite hoppy. I also noted grapefruit in the aroma. The flavor starts out a bit sweet and finishes fairly bitter. Some grapefruit and pine in the finish. Very colorful packaging !
