Pours a very lightly hazy, glowing medium orange-amber color. A small, foamy, off-white head settles to a thin film with a small edge. Minimal, scattered traces of lace dot the glass. The aroma is quite nice, showing bright orange hops, grapefruit, and sweet melon notes over a creamy, caramel malt base. Some resinous hops sneak in on a deep inhale, though they play second fiddle to the fruity, citrus element. The flavor is more of the same, however a disappointing influx of cereal grains dulls things down a bit. Well balanced between hoppy and sweet, this one sports a smooth, medium body and mouthfeel. Finishes quit bitter. This is a nice, easy drinking, run-of-the-mill IPA.

This was a great beer. It had a copper body with plenty of hops like an IPA should have.

Pours a dark orange with about two fingers of off-white head. Strong odor of sweet floral hops. There’s a moderately thin mouth feel, and a surprisingly subdued flavor. Its slightly sweet, and ends with a hoppy bitter aftertaste. It’s not bad, but there are much more distinctive IPAs out there.

Pours a pinkish orange with a light foam white head. Great aroma of sweet hops. Notes of grapefruit and other fruits. Somewhat bitter at the finish and after. A solid IPA.

new batch that’s 7.1% abv, not 5.75%. Amber with a medium sized white head. Strong skunky hop aroma. Flavor is pretty strait forward hops and caramel malt with some orange and lemon citrus. Some odd roasty grains can be found in the finish. Good amount of carbonation.

Pours a pretty standard copper gold with a nice lingering white head. Slightly skunky floral-citrus aroma. The flavor is decently hoppy - mostly floral and peppery. The balance between the hops and the malt is pretty nice too. The flavor overall is on the lighter, more refreshing side. The palate is also pretty light, but pairs nicely with the flavor of the beer. I wasn’t a huge fan of this beer after the first sip, but it’s grown on me. This is a very decent IPA.
