Commercial Description:
Our IPA pours a slightly hazy, pale orange with a balanced malt flavor and finishes with a wonderful flavor and aroma only American hops can provide. This beer is served unfiltered to retain all the bouquet from the hops.

On tap at the CBC. Thin off white head over a golden colored beer. This has the fresh sharp pine forest and pineapple juice nose that I love in an IPA. Body doesn’t really support the hops that the nose promise. Seems a little thin with flavors of sweetened grapefruit, tangerine, apple sauce, all with a hint of malts underneath. Candied grapefruit rind finish. Tastey, but I prefer a little more support for the hops.

Nice looking, orange, mostly clear, fluffy fluffy white head, with retention. The nose is awesome, I thought I was eating a grapefruit. Very creamy mouthfeel, a bit of malt, and a nice hoppy finish though not too dry. Also some caramel in the palate. Very impressive.

Slightly hazy copper body with a bubbly, 1" thick head that leaves some traces of lacing. Nose consists of grapefruit and pine, your traditional straightforward IPA aroma. Not overly abundant, but welcoming nonetheless. Mild malt backbone with a quick sting of hops and a lightly tacky finish. Sticky hop flavor, heavy bitterness without a lot of flowery hop flavors. Some caramel and biscuit malts, but not much. Not too impressed with this.

Pours copper with a decent white head. Smells of citrus, perfumy, crisp, dry malt. Tastes of earth, grassy, wildflowers, citrussy, bitter finish.

Bottle Pours out a copper orange topped with a white head. Aroma lots of floral hops and a nice rich malt. Tast was more of the floral and a little bitter citrus. A pretty tast IPA.

Bottle. Pours amber in color with a small white head. Aroma of hops and grapefruit. Flavor is mostly grapefruit with some floral hops as well. Interesting beer, and great for those who enjoy grapefruit.

Received as a 21st birthday gift. Delicious citrus aroma. Pours a dark golden color, with a relatively short head. A bit sweeter than most IPA’s. Will probably buy another 6-pack soon.

Bottle from nrbw23. Thanks! Pours orangish with a medium lived head. Smell is very fresh and hoppy with lots citrus and earthiness. Very nice smell. Taste is nicely crisp, hoppy and drinkable. Medium body and normal carbonation. Surprisingly good. Would defintely have more often, if available.
