Grassy aroma. Honey colored pour with a big, fluffy head. Overwhelming flavor is hops. Wish it a little more complex flavor.

Copper brown with a fizzy white head. Caramel and grain aroma. Sweet caramel taste, mild bitterness, and a grainy citrus finish. Decent.

12 oz. bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Clear red-orange pour with a small but persistent head and speckled lacing. Sweet malty and grainy aroma with a floral hop note. Citrus hop taste with grain, apple, and nuts. Medium body. With it’s big malts and mild hops, it remains fairly well balanced, but does not live up to its name.

12 oz. bottle pours a bright coppery amber with moderate amount of large off white head. Aroma is of a slightly floral hoppiness. Front palate is of malt and wheat with an increasing flavor of hops mid palate and a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Easy enough to drink and nice on a hot day (today is 100 in the shade!) after the pool. Great with grilled burgers and fresh salsa.

this was a nice IPA for me. Not too overwhelming with the hops. Smooth and delicous. The pour was medium orange, no sediment, nice lacing. It was a really nice beer to drink.

For a beer that calls itself Hop-ocalypse, this is not a very hoppy beer. In fact there is not a lot of flavor to this brew in general.
