[Bottle] shared by JoeBrew. Pours a clear gold with a smallish white head. Aroma is initially pine, as well as lots of citric hops, lemon, and grapefruit. Mouthfeel is thinnish, with pine, and a little woody. Lots of malt to back up the hops. Not as bitter as I would have thought.

bottle. Nice deep amber color, decent head that sticks around throughout. Aromas of chalky lemons and sweet toffee. Sharp dry bitterness, full citrus flavor and some creamy malt notes.

The ultimate floral IPA. Balanced with spice and citrus notes. Clean and complex. Inviting pour with an amber hue and fluffy head. I first picked it up because my son loved the bottle--so glad he did! An interesting beer to contrast against Dogfish Head 90.

Bottle pours out a amber topped with a off white cream head. A very nice hop on the nose. Tast of sweet hops with a touch of bitterness. A Nice IPA.

Bought @ Knightly Spirits, Orlando and drunk in UK. Hops dominate this typical US craft beer, with a lingering sweetness and some malt in the aftertaste. Poured a luscious tawny brown colour with a small head that lingered well down the glass. Another excellent US take on IPA which we in the UK could well learn from.

pours a nice amber color with a fluffy head. the lacing is decent. smells kinda like straw. tastes fizzy in my mouth, kinda sweet ending with bitterness
