Keg at kickball. Pours med. brown with decent head retention. One dimensional malty body. Hoppy finish. Very average.

12 oz. bottle from sampler...pours a gentle opaque copper-orange with a near-perfect head, slow in dissipation...hints of pine fight with an overpowering hops aroma...crunchy (?), sharp warmth on the tongue--but services the whole tongue, thus balancing on an IPA tightrope...warm aftertaste; hops in effect, but more yielding than the aroma would indicate (unlike the alcohol?)...a serviceable IPA--reflects their pale ale in its balance...

I was acutally surprised about this one. I thought it looked good but a guy at the store told me it was not good. I enjoyed this one. Very piney nose. Tastes of pine and hops and malt. Not much else to say its really good.

355 ml bottle. Pours a nice amber with a dense off-white head. Nice floral, piney nose. Medium semi-dry body. Initial malt profile leads into a moderate dosing of hops for a nice edgy finish.

Pours hazy brown with a small white head. Citrus hop aroma. Nice bitterness that has a nice malt finish. Nice full mouth feel. Pretty good IPA.

Bottle at No. 5. Amber with a large beige head, some lacings. Aroma moderate malty (caramel) and hoppy (citrus). Flavor moderate sweet and dominant bitter, yet round. Light/medium body.

Bottle. 12 fl. oz. A clear, copper with big, sudsy, off-white head. Leaves good lacing. Piney, grapefruit aroma. Light to medium bodied with a dy texture. Flavor is pretty sweet before a nice amount of bitterness. Not very complex, but nicely balanced.
