A slightly hazy Orange copper color with a tiny off-white head. A sweet caramel, floral hop scent with some light citrus & pine tones. Just a bit thin but a nice IPA without being over the top.

Bottle. Pours an orange copper color with an off-white head. Faint citrus aroma with a bit of malt. Can you say BUBBLEGUM? I can even make out the brand; Bazooka. There’s also a ton of hop characteristics; flowers, grass, pine, oranges, grapefruit etc, and rater than complimenting each other they tend to clash a bit. Bitter finish with a bit of a musty, honey- malt characteristic.

Pours a light amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet citrus and slightly hoppy. Flavor starts off with a very sweet grapefruit taste and finishes slightly hoppy. An ok IPA but not my favorite.

Bottled. Solid IPA. Nice to have one that doesn’t kill you on the hops. Good hop bite to it.

Some malt and mild spice in the nose, amber body, medium head receding quickly to a millimeter or three. Pretty decent flavors, bitter hoppy finish. Not a bad brew.

I finally got past the obnoxious label and bought one of these, and its... okay. Pours light orange with a decent head. Aroma is hoppy, but mostly the bitter Golding variety. Taste seems watered-down. The hops are there, but without the nice resiny-piney-citrus flavors. Whatever.

355ml brown bottle. Pours deep gold colour, well formed head, two fingers worth of creamy foam. Leaves sparse patchy lacework in the tulip glass. Grapefruit in the aroma, soft malt sweetness. Caramel malt start, grapefruit hopped middle, finish is bitter with more grapefruit and pine. Long hoppy aftertaste. Medium body. Nicely hopped, balanced IPA, good drinkability. Don’t know why I waited so long to try this.

I rather enjoyed this ale. Very beautiful color - light copper, clear with a bountiful head. Very positive aroma with a good kick of maltiness. Excellent dose of hops.
