Amber color pour with a medium frothy head that lasts a while. Aroma and flavor are mostly floral and pine hops, with a good malt backing. Not much else to say, except that it’s a solid IPA.

If you like Racer 5, this is a great one in comparison. Very tasty. 7.5% Union Jack! Have only seen it in grocery stores in the area of the brewery (central coast, ca).

Pours a nice clear orange with a small amount of head. Fairly good, but fairly average IPA. A touch of dankiness, but pretty mild IPA - the aftertaste is pretty good though.

Bottle->shaker: Pours a spare frothy off-white head that has some lacing with some mild carbonation onto a yellow/amber body that is clear with no particulates. Lightly hoppy aroma, some citrus taste, and a tart aftertaste with a smooth but astringent finish. A pretty decent IPA, doesn’t justify the price.

Draft. Dark copper pour with an off-white head. Big, fruity hop aroma. Fresh strawberries and citrus, mostly grapefruit. Very hop-forward flavor with a clean grapefruit taste. Bitter finish.
