Thanks to Foolish Mortal for this one. Deep coppery ruby pour with 2-finger off-white head and great lacing. The aroma is heavy piney hops, pineapple, honeydew, canteloupe, and caramel malt. The flavor is tropical fruity, piney hoppy, with a good caramel malt base, and even a hint of cobwebby funk. This one is unbelievably smooth, complex, and well balanced, and an elite IPA.

Sweet, hoppy aroma that I can’t imagine being any better. Brownish amber body with an off-white head. Not very hazy; almost clear. Creamy lace sticks to glass. Hoppy and dry but with good balance. Excellent. Strong hop profile. Really a pleasant find. Could have been served colder, but I would definitely drink this again.

Pours a beautiful auburn orange with huge fluffy head. Aroma is a sweet and lively of wet hop, honey, and pine. Flavor is a strong serving of fresh west coast hop and organic wild honey. Very rich and wholesome this IPA turned out to be. A truly enjoyable ale.

Bottle. Deep red in color with a nice lacing. Orange and candi sugar aroma. Candi sugar and grapefruit flavor. Sweet tasting. Smooth. Finish is dry and hoppy. Very drinkable.

Bottle 160607. Sweet smell. Well balanced some fruite notes and some spruce needle. Very nice IPA

Very pleasant grassy/pine aroma. Pours a nice amber with a big,thick head and lots of lacing. Hops are the main attraction here, very wet and prickly, like a fresh hop ale. Very nice bouquet of lemon zest without all the aspirin. The malts, are also along for the ride, some caramel sweetness and some strong ale qualities. A nice hop bomb. Thanks Stephen, the Dark Elf.

A lovely beer, from beginning to end. Translucent and shiny brass in color with a beautiful, pillowy white head that settles down to an icy layer and produces adoring lace. Sugary sweet aroma infuses with sun laid orange rinds and spice traits (pepper and paprika), which help to further its remarkable, charming allure. Additional aromatic adrenaline comes from touches of lemon juice on papaya shavings and mandarin cream cheese danishes. Flavor presents a unique profile that immediately quenches thirst. Buttery baguette crust manifests in a fashion of halving mandarins and sliding their runny juices down the hard crackled crust. Husky rind properties are laid out on a sandy villa floor just above sea level. Aged oranges and spooned, raw papaya return us to the citric properties. Building background bitterness is well met with a highly palatable stream. It’s balanced right where we want it, with crustaceous, orangey butterscotch lozenges partnering perfectly with an ample supply of aged hops. Afterlife comes about just as uniquely as when it came into the world, ensuing its encore by presenting papyrus with papaya grease crisply breaking the brittle sheet, and herbal orange butter patching the piece back together. Big thanks to tpkenned for the bomber!

Thanks to Naven for the bomber. Clear copper color with a medium head. Medium lacing. Aroma of pine, resin and grass. Very aromatic. Taste is very balanced, with sweet caramel malts stepping up against the bitterness of the American hops, but never quite making the beer sweet. Light to medium body. Nice, bitter finish. Heavenly.
