Sample @ Hallandale beer fest (bottle). Smells like an herb garden on a crisp winter day. Intensely hop forward flavors but clean and not sticky with a good palate. Warm amber-gold colors, pours with not much head.

Clear orange yellow with a thin but stable white head. Classic mix of english hops (Fuggles?) and citousy/piney american hops. Flavour quite sweet but still balanced. Full palate

Bottled. A competent IPA with a hops aroma and spicey flavour. The bitter finish was nice and lingering. It doesn’t stand out, though.

It’s a good overall IPA. I did enjoy the taste of this brew. Could use a little more carboration and maybe a couple of different kinds of higher acidic hops. But nonetheless, it’s got a good solid body with a re-freshing smooth taste. Overall, it’s got my vote.

<i>(4,7% abv- label)</i> Orangey amber with thick pale head. Nose has nutty maltiness with piney & flowery hops. Flavor fully malty and crisply hopped. Medium bodied, round and smooth mouthfeel. Perhaps not that complex, but truly an ideal session IPA. ( 8/4/8/4/16)
Re-rate: Had it a few times after the first rating. Pretty basic piney hoppiness, some nuttiness and toffee malts. A tad metallic and stuffy, though drank far before BBE. Pretty average after all. (6/4/7/3/14)

bottle from bmo encinitas. this is a very friendly ipa and I found the malts quite delicate and balanced into the tangy hops, had sharp but quick to fade grapefruit finish, a pretty nice little ipa

Seemed to have little to no head, but great carbonation that unfortunately goes away pretty quickly. Its semi-cloudy light orange color is inviting, looks almost deceiving. Smells just a little hoppy. Has a sweet, hoppy taste and is very easy to drink. Little to no aftertaste... a pretty tame IPA, considering the hype. Or my bitter buds are just shot. Christine says, "it feels like it’s bouncing in my mouth." Another IPA, nothing distinctive.

Aroma is sweet malt with balanced amount of citrus and pine hops. Toffee malt flavor has same citrus and pine hop characteristics. Dry and bitter aftertaste is quite long. Nice.
