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.

Orange to amber color with diminishing head. Powerful aroma of orange peel and hops. Solid IPA. Very hoppy taste that stays with you. I find it goes well with shrimp scampi.

Bottled. Piney and citrus hop aroma as I would expect from an IPA. Light body, easy drinking, refreshing hop bitterness. One of the best readily available IPAs that I come back to from time to time.

I really don’t have time for this beer. Every time I so much as think about pouring it into my glass, the glass is overflowing, the bottle is overflowing, my mousepad is wringing wet. Is this stuff spoiled? It’s local to my stores, so it shouldn’t be.
Aroma is citrusy, earthy. Hazy orange. Fair lacing. Taste of grapefruit and a hint of caramel malt background. It doesn’t taste spoiled. I need a new mousepad.

Ok, I’ve had quite a few IPA’s, and I wasn’t expecting much because I didn’t know anything about this brewery. But I must admit this brew did bitch slap me upon first taste. Aroma was very strong floral and bitter hops. Hazy yellow color. Semi-sweet malts (I would imagine) this is quite an unbalanced beer...but just at the edge of being undrinkable...so I have to give them points for making an extreme beer and not going over. my glass was empty and I could still get wafts of the aroma even through my stuffed up nose. the last sip even bitch slapped me with bitterness.

This pours a clear amber, with a thin long lasting head. The aroma is of fresh cut grass and citrus. Nice crisp IPA flavor, but a bit thin and very little finish. Overall, I’d say this is a bit above average, and has the makings of a good session ale.

Draft-Memphis. Amber body with tight white head. It could have used a bit more malt balance. I thought I could feel the hop pellets as I drank.
