Light citrusy hop aroma, taste is intense hop and msweet malt backing,but with a somewhat light body,making it about the best combination of big full hop malt taste, and lighter ,I can drink 3-4 of these in a night flavor.Probaly a top tener in the style

Pour is a copper with a small white head. Aroma is nice fresh floral hops with lots of citrus. Flavor is also excellent. Very sugary snd sweet but does not get in the way. Hops are a presence leaving and nice citrus-fruityness on the tounge. Very well done IPA.

Thanks to slob for sending this new one! This starts out with a clear deep orange/amber body with a sticky peaked head. Big malty hoppy aroma with citrus and fruit. Just on the bitter side overall with a good supporting malt that lies underneath. Rich and full body give it a filling mouthfeel. Very nice East Coast IPA that shows some strong West Coast origins.

Clear orange pale in the glass. Smells of piney citrus fruits. The head is a great, fluffy off white mound that dissipates quickly. The flavor has a lot of citrus and pine that match the nose, but there is some kind of underlying flavor that isn’t pleasing. It only hits for a second. Over all a pretty good beer.

Now this is how a IPA should be made, malty and hoppy but not astringent hoppy. the hops are floral, grassy and slightly piney. the rest is smooth with lots of malt. A real winner!

Huge grapefruit/mango/lemon hop aroma and taste. Very well balanced. Another entry in a crowded group of excellent IPAs.

Huge thanks to Slob for sending me this one out of the blue! Pours a "glowing" clear light amber color. Decent sized white head. Aroma is simply fantastic. HUGE hop prescense, big pine and grapefruit notes. Spicy and floral, some peach gummies too! FLavor is sweet and citrusy, hop juice baby! Body is a sweet hop bite, lots of pine, grapefruit malt lends its role as well. But knows its place.

Amber with a nice head that slowly faded away. Grapefruit, citrus and pine needles in the aroma. More of the same in the flavor with a sweet maltiness coming through for some nice balance. Lingering finish is very well balanced as well. Very nice.
