Bottle, Pours a slightly hazy amber/orange with a medium head. Not much retention, good lacing. Aroma is grapefruit and pine hops, mostly, which just a touch of malt sweetness. I’d almost rate this as a double IPA. Right on the edge.
Medium body. Pleasantly bitter finish.

Light amber pour (ontap) tan diminishing head, decent lacing, hard to smell due to all the smoke in this suburban Philadelphia bar, not too hoppy, decent balance, slight dry finish, very enjoyable, I ordered 2!

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.

This is a very nice IPA from what i consider one of the breakout breweries in my area. We sell a ton of it at the liquor store and i think it is the best that i have tasted from blue point. It has a fruity, complex hop flavor that is enjoyable for summer or fall. It has a very clean taste to it.

Mostly clear orange pour with a big foamy head. Sweet citrus aroma such as pineapple and tangerine. Taste is much more bitter/resinous than the aroma which is nice. Finishes with a lingering bitterness.
