Pours a crystal clear gold with strong carbonation and a sturdy, rocky white head. Great lacing. Strong floral aroma, with grapefruits, oranges, lemons, a touch a pine, and an abundance of cat urine. The taste is less "pissy" than the smell. Actually, its kinda malty, with a restrained bitter flavor. The hop presence is mostly citric and floral. The finish is a big deterrent for me, and tastes like dish soap. Eh.. I remember it being better than this.

Pours a nice gold yellow with a small head and some decent carbonation. The head doesnt stick around too long but leaves a decent lacing. Plenty of hops and citrus tones hit you in the hose-some pine notes too. Hops come through right away upon taste with some grapefruity citrusy tastes on the tongue too. Goes down with some slight bitterness and dry on the finish. Very nice for so much hops and not too overpowering with some decent carbonation to maintain a nice mouthfeel. Not too heavy at all and could be drinkable in multiples if you can handle the hops and 7.25%.

I really liked this beer. 12 oz bottle from Rozi’s in Lakewood OH. Poured an amber/orange with smallish white head. A very hoppy nose with some hints of citrus. Not as hoppy as the nose would indicate, good taste of citrus and spices. Nice finish and is very drinkable. I will defnitely try this one again.

Smells like a hoppy apple juice, which is a good indication of it being nice and fresh. Decent body with a fair amount of head. Not as hoppy in the flavor as in the nose, but very drinkable. Hardly notice any alcohol.

This was a great brew. I think it was the best of Clipper City brews. Hoppy, but it had a nice fruity aroma. The various hops really mix together well. Still had a little bit a sweet element. Wonderful brew.

Bottle 12oz. Pours strawish orange with a small white lacing head. Nose is floral. Taste is floral and spicy, magnum showing through. Balanced well with a substantial malt flavor. on the palate there is decent activity. Decent.

Pours clear amber with off white head. Aromas of pine and citrus (grapefruit). Sweet flavor that starts slightly malty and finishes very hoppy. Creamy and oily mouthfeel with a medium body and soft carbonation. A solid IPA.
