12 oz. Clear copper with a creamy head of a quarter inch that leaves frosty lace behind. Earthy vegetable, grain, citrus, molasses and oak aromas. Flavors are similar with some light citrus and resin. Medium body is smooth and dry. A bit underrated because it’s not your typical West Coast citrus-hop flavored bomb; more an earthy British-style IPA.

Pours a medium copper with thin off white head. The nose and flavor are dish soapy and cardboard. Really not good.

sampled from 22oz bottle. Pour a clear yellow with a measurable head. Aroma and taste of a standard IPA though a bit watery.

Sampled from 12-oz bottle and shared by Badgerben. Pours a clear golden amber brew with an average off-white head that has some nice retention and lacing. Aroma of roasted biscuit malt, a touch of grapefruit and citrus zest, some honey and toffee. Taste is medium bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, citrus zest, some lemon, iced tea and a touch of honey. Finish is a little chalky with a mild citrus aftertaste. Nothing out of the ordinary but closer to an American Pale Ale than an IPA caliper brew.

Bottle. Clear amber pour with a decent head. Aroma of strong herbal hops and malt. Similar flavor with a very bitter finish.

Pours a hazy, dark orange-amber color with a fleeting, creamy, off-white head. Thick, sticky patches of oragnic looking lace mark the glass. Aromas are strange, showing citrus hops, scorched honey, stale caramel, toffee and butter. The flavor follows suit, with a weird mix of bitter citrus hops and stale, grainy, caramel malts with a downright odd note of burnt honey. The mouthfeel is substantial, but overly sweet and cloying. If I had to sum this up in one word, it would be "odd". This isn’t something I’ll be revisiting any time soon, if ever.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of biscuity hops, malts, and caramel. Poured amber in color with a small off-white head. Hazy. Sparkling. Some large particles. Lightly bitter flavor. Tastes of malts, hops, biscuits, chocolate, and water. Light to medium body. Thin, chalky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Hoppy, malty, dry finish.

Copper color with a medium head. Buttery and caramel aroma. Earthy and spicy hop taste. Iced tea. Dusty finish.
