Pours amber with a large, uneven offwhite head. Nose is hops and citris, as is the taste. Nice strong bitterness in the finish. A good IPA.

12oz Bottle: Cloudy amber, biege head. Sweet malts & some citrus hops in the aroma. Bitter hops up front in the flavor & a very brief hit of caramel. Old bottle, will have to revisit because I find it hard to believe it sucks this much fresh.

pours honey gold with a finger and a half thick bone white head that was still and slow to fall. the body is a clear light amber and the head left nice traces of lacing on the edges. the aromas are piney and citrusy with a nice hop presence. it is light bodied and has a nice sweet bitter taste with a very special aftertaste and is very good for an ipa. i taste citrus, hops, pine oils, light malts and hints of caramel. the finish is watery with all the noted flavors and really pleseant with butter notes. aftertaste is a little light and hangs around on the palate for just a short while. also, very refreshing and a good beer to turn a new beer drinker onto ipa’s.

355mL btl. Who doesn’t love the smell of well hopped beer! Pours amber with decent white head. Slightly sweet entry soon changing to a lengthy hop bitterness. Could probably do with a bit more malt!

Cloudy orange soup, looks more like a warm apple Christmas cider than a beer. No bubbles, no lacing. Intense aroma of freshly mowed grass with summer flowers and dandelions. Over the top hops. Bitter and astringent, with lots of pineapple, apples, and a sour and acidic finish. Thick and chewy body. A struggle to drink, from start to finish. Unsubtle.

Beautiful hoppy floral notes on the nose. Orange pour with a nright white frothy head. Crisp hoppiness mixed with a nice amount of slight bitterness. Very nice finish. Great beer.

Mildly hoppy with a decent aroma, but much boozier and harsh than the original recipe. Drinkable, but not something I’d get again.

(12 ounce bottle) Has a great nose. Pours a copper liquid. This beer is a herbal hoppy taste, with some citrus hops. Good ipa
