Bottle. Very sweet hoppy nose, delicious grapefruit with floral lychee. Golden-orange body with a soapy beige head. Bitter soapy taste, lots of hops in the form of grapefruit and lychee flavors. Touch of yeast and resin. Grassiness assertive toward the end, and faint notes of sourness arise to complement the much stronger bitterness and sweetness. Medium-light body, dry hoppy aftertaste. Fun.

Light gold color with small white head and nice lacing. Aroma was a little faint for an IPA but still hoppy. Flavor was okay but nothing special. I did taste a little fruit along with the hops.

This brew is quite hard to judge but in the end I think its just average. It pours nicely and has a sweet aroma but the mouthfeel is a little off and leads to a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. Worth a try but i was a little disappointed.

Average IPA. Tossing in a bit more hops slowed this one down as they didn’t meld into the basic flavor profile. Some citrus upfront and at the end. Nothing special.

Pours copper with a nice head. Aroma is piney, grassy, and pungent. Flavor is on the sweet side, and the bitterness is a bit raw. The hop flavor profile is not for me. Another dissapointing offering from FD.

Strong aroma of hops and passion fruit. Strong hop bitterness and mild fruit qualities. A little abrasive, but tasty.

The flavor has a strong kick when it first hits. It has a good after taste but isn’t very smooth going down.
