Courtesy Odeed. Pours a clear light orange color, with a small white head. Smells of some big grapefruit hops, very piney, with a crispness about it. The flavor was also very crisp and sharp, with a big hop character and a nice hop bitterness to it. Prety juicy grapefruit citrus was also quite evident. Nice and crisp IPA, full flavored with a great palate. Another quality brew from a quality brewer.

On Tap. Pours with a light, rocky, off-white head covering a clear amber body. Great lacing from the tap left on my glass, decent retention aswell. Aroma is of floral and slightly spicey hops, and a light bit of caramel. Taste is a bit watery at first, then a light caramel and biscut malt, followed by a pine hoppy bitterness towards the finish. Watery mouthfeel, light carbonation.

12oz bottle. Golden red color, with a thin film of white head. Pine, candied citrus hop aromatics, some sweetness. Acrid, keening pine up front. Juicy citrus, lemon and orange. Slight malt underpinings, tinge of biscuit. Grassy floral component joins resdiual citrus hop flavors in the finish. Mouthfeel is a light medium, somewhat dry.

I was amazed by this, as I think Double Barrel is overrated, this was amazing. GREAT hop taste dominates everything, even some of that illusive bubblegum flavor (Like in Full Sail’s Slipknot, I wish I could get some more of that too). Really pleased, and surprised by how good it was.

Small tan head, creamy appearence with good retention and thin strips of lace. Gold to light copper in color, good clarity. Spicey, earthy hop nose, light citrus and abundant crystal malt aromas. Body is medium, lightly oily on the palate with a soft carbonation, lightly resiny. Orangey citrus flavors up front, light wood notes along with an equal amount of lightly toasty malts to balance things out. Lightly fruity and hop juicey. Fairly dry, fruity finish with a lingering bitterness. Props to SDbruboy for the bottle!

Pours golden with big lasting head, moderate carbonation. Immediate aromas of those C’s hit the nose with a light sweetness. Strong malt comes across the palate in an attempt to balance the hops. Slightly sweet, full-bodied. Solid.

Pours a nice orange color with a small soapy white head. Aroma of hops, citrus and malt along with a little pine. Taste is hops, malt, pine, and finishes bitter but sweet. Well balanced IPA with a slightly Syrupy mouthfeel. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

Bottle. Pine and floral aromas. Copper body with decent head. Decent citrus flavors along with some sugary sweet sapy feel to it. Some dryness on the palate along with bitterness. Good brew.
