Very hoppy but not overbearing, A little sweet and floral with a good IPA aftertaste. This is a nice brew.

Bottle. Pours a lighter orangey amber with a big fruit nose mixed with some pine. Flavor is more fruit and citrus with a sprinkling of the sweet mix together in a very nice, well balanced brew. This was a winner IPA for those who like flavor, balance and not just a hop tsnami.

This be a fantastic, flavorful brew. The hops are exceedingly citrus-fruitiness. Great compliment to pizza (fruit, root, and fungus, of course) dishes which consist primarily of starch and cheese. For an extra-decadent experience, forgo the beer glass and drink this effing fabulous beer straight from the bottle. You’ll be glad you did.

i think i remember the IIPA, Winter Storm, as a brew that i liked more, but whatev’ ... / a really nice and fruity nose with a bit of malt pushing it up. the flavor is nice. it looks good, and feels good, also. fruity, chewy, a bit syrupy, yet smooth and round; not earthy, not too hoppy, just balanced well, and with a good punch, and with a nice and full, sweet, aftertaste... a good beer! (and i can’t taste that it’s such a strong brew!)

Great pour with an amber/orange look and smell. Lots of hops right off the top, and smooths out over the pint to a great citrus finish. good bitter after flavor. Baltmore finally got something right.

Medium to dark amber. Hops right up front in the nose to entice you to the first taste. A nice white creamy head that lasts a few minutes and then laces the glass. The nose doesn’t disappoint. The taste is smooth with an assertive hop bitterness. Plenty of citrus, and a hint of orange, maybe from Horizon hops. Really enjoyed this 12 oz bottle - wish there were more coming to this region.

12oz bottle. Hazy, golden-orange appearance; big-bubbled white head. Lots of grapefruit and citrus in the aroma; hints of orange. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy orange; plenty of citrus hops, well-balanced by maple syrup maltiness; light carbonation. Long, orange and maple syrup finish.

Very clean citrus and hop aroma, perfectly balanced flavor, not too bitter not too sweet. This should be in every hop-head’s rotation.
