Bottle. Poured a hazey golden color. Aroma of some hops and malt. Taste is a nice hoppy tatste but not enough and water.

12 oz. bottle pours a clear dark goldish color. Citrus smell and taste. This was a unique IPA that I will probably get again.

Bottle in the french quarter. Pours a golden amber. Fizzy white head. Pretty simple IPA, most of the aroma comes from the ekgs. English style IPA...i’d have another, but it’s not a phenominal beer.

Poured a hazy gold with a strong, rocky head. Not overly bitter, but with a long finish with some stickiness. Enjoyable, and very drinkable. Definitely one I would have again but i wouldn’t put it in my top 5 IPAs.

It’s not the most aggressive IPA ever, but what it lacked in aggressiveness, it made up for in uniqueness. This had me and other avid beer drinkers wondering "what am I tasting" and that is something I love. Not just making a great beer, but also brewing something that is distinctive, which is what they have done very well.

Pours clear golden with a small fizzy white head. Slightly sweet aroma, with a hint of citrus zest, and a bit of that macro corn smell. I don’t see how this is considered an IPA at all. I barely detect any hops at all, but there is a hint of light citrusy sweetness. Palate is thin and a bit fizzy, but I can almost detect some of the hop spice. Nothing really going on here at all. Even with a 59 overall, I think it’s over-rated.

Translucent brown, looks nice. Wonder balance between the hops and the malt, nice contrast of flavor. Balanced, great-tasting brew.

Clear orangish amber pour with a medium off white/beige head. Citrusy hop aroma, when swirled I get some musty hop resin. Nice grapefruit bitterness, sticky coat youor tongue sweetness. Too much of the coating my tongue feeling. Bitterness is nice, mouthfeel suffers because of the stickiness.
