This IPA had a nice dark amber color to it with smells of strong hops and mild malt. There was also a taste of woods mixed in with the hops. There was also a nice bite that stuck around on the palate for a while.

I had this beer at Isacc Newtons in Newtown Pa. It has an amber color, the aroma is bitter but not over whelming. The taste is just bitter, but good. A good IPA. Not the best, worth trying though if your a hophead.

Hazy orange with floaties and a dense creamy white head. Smells like oranges, apricots, and hops. Tastes like oranges, apricots and herbs. Very nice hoppy finish, classic for an IPA.

Poured from bottle. Definitive aroma of hops, maybe some grass too. Hops in flavor are dominant, but mellow. Other plant -y flavors as well. Lacing. Creamy mouthfeel. Very nice beer.

Pours a nice golden color with a small firm head. The taste was very nice with hops, grapefriut, with some floral notes. I tasted a nice bitterness and some hops with the classic IPA citrus notes. A good balance for an IPA. Not bad.

I must have a bad bottle of this stuff. As soon as I popped the cap on this single that I purchased with several other different beers it began to overflow out of the bottle. The aroma was completely off, didn’t even recognize any hop smells. It looked kind of like an IPA except for the 18 inch head that never went away. I’m guessing that they added too much priming sugar? I’m sure I got a bad bottle from a bad batch. Anybody else?

Very floral, great hop after taste. Pours a golden brown slight head. Great aroma, bonquet(pun intended) of aroma.
