pour from the bottle is gold amber with nearly zero head. No lacing. The smell of this beer is really great tho and the taste follows right behind. The mouthfeel is a little watery. All and all I think if it had a little bit more carbonation, it would be an amazing beer! absolutely a steal for 5.99 a 6 pack. Woo! RERATE: I had another six pack and I have to say that this is simply the best deal there is in beer. i was standing next to a guy when I bought this who was buying a 6 pack of Mickeys for 30 cents less! I want to give this a five for value! best beer for the price anyday... maybe the best beer ever!

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.

tried this beer directly from the tap. beautiful hop and malt balance for an IPA, intense hop and citrus aromas. nice bitterness and finishes very clean. Looking forward to trying this with a spicy Thai dish!!! about 8%--Great job.

Sample from Odeeds Growler! Thanks Jake! Nose of ivy plants and pine trees, very herbal; clear dark orange-copper witha small, but glass-lacing, offwhite head; flavor of ivy and hop bitterness, lasting into a moderately bitter finish! Just as good as my favorites (IIPAs) Hopsickle and Moylander!

12 oz bottle from the cheese man!!! dark golden/amber pour, nice thick soapy, sticky white head. Aroma is outstanding!!! crazy northwest hops. LOADS of piney hops, and some grapefruit, and lemon, with some earthy malt in the backdrop. Flavour is super hoppy, , with loads of pine......this IPA is big on the piney resin hops, but the citrus iis there. wicked IPA!!!!
