Pours a golden orange color with a medium head. Nose is fresh, citrus, floral hops. Initial taste is citrus, touch spice, fruits, good malt balance. Mid palate to finish displays a good hoppy characters that balance this IPA very nicely. More a lighter IPA but very tasty and probably appeals to more palates. Palate duration is very good. Body light to medium. Head retention is good. Overall enjoyable IPA.

pours to golden orange body with large head that lingers clingling to the glass. Aroma is hops and citrus. Flavor is smooth and citrus. A very nice IPA.

Had this many times and I did not find consistency but as far as the better bottles go it is pretty good. A better than their pale beer with similar usage of hops. Balanced but this has way more hops and is pretty good.

Golden orange pour, small white head. Citrus and spicy hops hit the nose. Some pine notes are evident as well. Flavor is juicy, hoppy, and has some great malt. This is a very good beer.

Pours a clear, golden-orange color with a relatively thick, frothy, off-white head with a fair amount of lacing. Aromas of orange, pine, and spice. Initial bitterness that rolls to the back of the tongue complemented by a mild sweetness. Also possesses a grapefruit and citrus afertaste. A slightly oily feel on the palate. Beer is very drinkable and is quite enjoyable.

Very good. Hoppy grapefruit flavor, but not especially bitter. Piney aroma. Highly drinkable and very smooth. No taste of alcohol, but I could tell the beer was strong from the thick mouthfeel. Full flavored and complex.

Dark golden/light amber color with a thin white head, left decent lacing that stayed. Hoppy aroma with hints of orange and grass in it. Not as bitter I expected. Hoppy citrus flavor with an almost floral finish with a bitterness that hangs around.

Frothy off white average head. Little malt aroma, masked by heavy citrus/orange/spruce flavored hop smell. Initial flavor of pineapple and grapefruit juice followed by a mildly bitter yet smooth finish. Slight oily texture on palate. Solid amount of citrus hops masks alcohol content well. Good beer.
