Draft. Has a citrusy, hoppy aroma. Kind of orange in color. Nice bitter finish.

great IPA, nice citrusy and sweet aroma. Big hop flavor spicy and citrus, intense but still allows for some sweet fruity malts to make an appearance

Bottle. Golden orange pour. Sweet citrus, pine and fruit aromas. Great even finish with some hops mixed in. Sweet for an IPA, but very enjoyable.

Fruity citrus aroma. Flavor is mildly bitter, somewhat fruity, and surprisingly sweet. Almost like hard candy. Which is what really hurts the score for me. I like it, but it’s no Two Hearted Ale. Hell even Mad Anthony might be as good as this. Sorry Phil, it’s just okay.

Aroma of spruce or pine. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. Taste is heavy medicianl hops, but less of a preservative feel than most IPA. Feels like I’m chewing on green grapefruit rinds. Decent mild carbonation. Bitter lingering finish, good example of this rotten style. Somebody bought this for me, I normally would not buy an IPA myself.

Bottle, #344 Orange pour with nice head and lacing. Great hop aroma, citrusy floral profile. Great flavor follows. Great IPA, I’m happy with it.

Pours a clear orange with a finger of white head that dies quick to a ring with sheets of lacing. Smells of mild floral hops a bit of malt. Taste is a little bigger than the smell with bitter hops throughout with a malty balance. Medium in the mouth with good carbonation. Very drinkable and the ABV is nowhere to be found but the flavors are a little bland and unexciting.

Admitadly I’m not a fan of IPA. That said this one is a example of the style. Strong taste of hops dominate but unlike some other ipa’s the aftertaste isnt to harsh and doesnt last to long.
