On tap at the Blake Street Tavern in a 4 oz. sample glass. Light brown color with virtually no head. Nice solid herbal hop aroma that lasts. Good clean hop finish.

12oz bottle. Nice hops aroma from the start. A nice malt and hops balance in the taste. A good beer but could easily be a pale ale if not for the nice hop bite that barely creeps in at the end.

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.

Reddish-Amber color with a very very thick white head. Aroma is slightly piney with citrus overtones. Tastes like a traditional IPA on tap. Very good despites the price $8/6er

brilliant burnished gold with a nice medium lasting whitish head... with some lacing on the glass as well. As the beer warms some tangerine/mango flavors show in the hop flavor Resiny, grapefruit, some pear like fruity aromas with a faint malt background Toast malt, firm resiny, spicy, grapefruit pith like hop bitterness. Some astringency and creaminess. Palate: lingering Layers of hop dryness, creaminess and some more hops Overall: A very well made IPA, which has a great juicy hop nose really nice to see a toast (munich malt) like flavor to support the hop flavor well done. No it is not a Stone/AleSmith IPA but downright a darn good IPA if the toast malt were restrained the juicy hop bitterness would shine evermore.... mmmmm hops

Very flavorful IPA. The dry-hopping takes control of this drink as is it dominated by a sharp, pungent Hop flavor and aroma. Also very bitter upfront and through the finish. Very floral on the nose - lots of hops on the tongue. Very lemony and tart with a slight pepper twist. The malt is sharp and sweet and strangely heavy. I liked the drink overall; could benefit from a little aging, but it is perfectly quaffable straight from the store.

Bottle labelled 4.7%abv. Pours red amber with a slick of fine white suds. Tempting perfume of Turkish Delight and orange, becoming increasingly leafy and nettle-like as it warms. Chewy, floral and uncompromisingly bitter, with a grapefruit punch and trace of biscuity malt. Big hop character at the strength. Very tasty, pungently bitter IPA.

Amber with a thick white head. Hoppy and flowery notes. Lots of hops, fruit and bitter taste. Medium body with a long bitter aftertaste.
