Clear amber pour with high carbonation and a one finger large-celled white head that leaves moderate to minimal lacing. Aroma is caramel biscuity with an odd yeasty citrus profile. A bit of soap in the nose near the end. Flavor is mild and astringent with some resinous citrus and adjunct. Chemical and soapy with a mildly bitter finish. Palate is thin and a bit acidic that finishes semi-dry. Not impressed.

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.

Pours an orange amber color. Aroma is strong hop with floral and citrus notes. Taste is lemon with a wonderful hop characteristic. This is one of my favorite IPA’s.
