12 oz bottle via johnykat (thanks!). Pours a semi hazy amber with a large beige head. Nose is lemon and some floral hops. Taste starts with some caraeml malt, the some lemon, some orange and some floral hops. A nice bittersweet finish with a grapefruit/orange peel aftertaste that lingers just the right amount fo time. This has a solid malt backbone and is quite balanced. Body is medium and carbonation is average. Pretty solid IPA.

Poursa an almost clear, orange/yellow hue with a light head. Aromas of pine, orange, grapefruit and a little more grapefruit. mouthfeel is medium bodied with flavors of the aroma with a nice medium bitterness and a mellow lingering finish. A very nice ipa that I wish was available here on the west coast.

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

deep golden/honey colored, with a very tall creamy white head. little lacing on the glass. small amount of small yeast particles. floral pine, grapefruit aroma. very fizzy/high carbonation. medium mouthfeel, almost watery. flavor is clean hops and not too bitter. not too sweet or syrupy either. very clean and slightly malty-sweet finish. would like to try by the stone IPA.

On tap at fairfield univ bar for the month of april. By far the best thing ive seen available on tap.. other options were (bud,miller, shocktop). Poured great hazy orange with fluffy white head. Nice balance between a bitter hops and mellow citrus note. really impressive. Good IPA.
