Pours with an amber orange body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s sweet and hoppy with s strong floral note and a hint of honey. Light to medium bodied, slightly dry and smooth.

Bottle. Pours an orange amber body with an off white head. Big hop profile, floral and earthy with some grapefruit and citrus and some spicy pine. Moderate malt backbone with the hops are the aggressor. good.

I was pleasantly surprised by this beer. The color and aroma are that of many other good IPA’s, a beautiful golden brown with a that sweet hop aroma. However I was really impressed by how balanced the flavor it was. It was wonderfully hopped but surprisingly smooth and consistent.

Pours a clear amber with small amount of off-white head. Nose of fruity hops and honey. Floral hop flavor and sweetness with a pleasant bitterness on the finish. Solid IPA. Cool label art too.

Pours a nice crisp honey amber with a 2 finger bright white head that has great retention and leaves specks of lacing. Aroma is caramel, straw, pine, a little citrus, not much floral as they state, some earthy tree bark notes and a pretty large amount of sweetness. Flavor is caramel, a little toast, straw, grass, lots of pine, some citrus, burnt sugar and a little more "cat box" than I would like. Finish is moderately bitter with pine and lightly vegetal notes. Palate is really nice for the style, creamy and sweet leading to a dry refreshing finish.

12 oz. bottle. Dark golden coloring with a two finger white head. Aroma is overwhelmingly lemon cirtrus and floral hops with a bit of malt. Flavor is spicier and lighter on hops than the aroma suggests with a crisp finish. A decent beer but I was a bit disappointed overall.

Lively golden yellow-orange with a thin white head. Aroma hops – floral, citrus and herbal with some sweet malt mixed in. Hoppy taste of floral and citrus hops and some of the malt comes through. Lively carb feel with a medium bitter finish. Tastes a little vegetal as it warms.
