Pours a yellow orange color with a thin, but resilient, white head. Leaves some lace. Smells sweet citrusy and a bit earthy and grassy. Tastes earthy hoppy and pretty citrusy sweet. A little too earthy for my liking. Medium body with somewhat subdued carbonation.

Pours orange amber with a light head. Citrus aroma predominates. Taste is covered by the hops but a small malt note peeks through.

Bomber. Clear orange in color with a little white head. Citrusy hoppy malty aroma. Orange and grapefruit notes. Earthy piney hops. Malty and hoppy flavor. Grassy notes. Sweet tasting. Finish is bitter. Ok beer.

Very piney aroma, very one-dimensional. Super bitter and visceral, high alpha with little else. Not my kind of IPA at all. I definitely prefer the more juicy hops with less overall bitterness.

Bomber. Decent aroma of oranges and tangerine. Flavor is ripe fruits, tangerine and orange. Nice maltiness. After a while, rlthe beer be ones more of (I hate to say it) a malty mess. The fruits are still there but theres an alcohol flavor that doesnt work for me.

on tap-pours a ring off white head and yellow color. Aroma is (cascade. OK description says Chinook and Centennial), citrus-grapefruit hops. Taste is dry (cascade) citrus-grapefruit hops-some bitter, faint sweet medium malt.

Fruity and hoppy aroma. Sweet sticky hops on taste and lingers on the aftertaste. A lot of citrus and pine more on taste than aroma. Interesting.

Pours an abundant soft fluffy white head, retention is very good as is the lacing, clingy and lasting. Gold, light copper hued color. Nose freshly hoppy with notes of peach, citrus and light pine with a slight breadyness. Body is med/full, pleasent resiny notes on the palate, a tad sticky on the lips. Good hop flavoring up front, fruity, lightly tropical, bubblegum and lighty toasty malts bringing up the rear. All well balanced and easily quaffable. A juicey little critter. Dry hoppy finish with a swell hop bite capping it off. It,s not the Idiot but it aint no slouch either. Props to SDbruboy for the bomber, thanks Cliff!
