Bottle. Poured sunburst amber, close to ruby up top, with a thick cream head. Aroma was both spicy and citric hops, fruity almost like grape, bready, pine, and a little grapefruit. Pine, bready, raisinish, citrus, slight lemony spice. Palate true to the style. Really good.

Amber pour. Herbal/floral nose, taste follows same vein, with tones of grapefruit, and of course lots of hops. Not my favorite style of beer, but for still pretty enjoyable anyway, because of a commendable balance of flavors. Nice.

Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. Pours a nice medium copper. Nose of powerful American hops, fragrant and wonderful! Palate is hop-forward, but nicely balanced, so as not to be simply hop liquid. Finishes with a nice dry quality that makes it an easy, and perhaps slightly dangerous, beverage. Well done.

Bottle via a trade with hopdog. Pours with a small, off-white head over a hazed orange body. Good lace. Aroma of herbal and sticky hops, caramel and exotic fruits. Taste is herbal hops with toasted bread and passion fruit. Slightly fizzy mouthfeel and on the watery side of things.

Bottle thanks to bman1113v. Off white head over a hazy brown body. Floral hops, mango and pretzel malts in the nose. Flavor has a nice mix of floral hops, soap, and light malts. pretty good beer.

Bottle. Pours copper amber in color with a small, lively pure white head. The aroma is very floral and phenolic, almost giving you the ability to taste the hops by smelling. This beer is a true hop head’s delite. It has a citrusy start and a floral finish. A really good IPA.
