Excelllent aroma of cirtus and a hint of floral hops. Pale orange color with a medium white head with good lacing. Less bitter than the aroma leads you to think. Sweet bitter finish and a little watery palate.

Not very strong hoppiness. Smoth and easy drinking. Not what I would grab when looking for an IPA, but it is a nice beer more like a pale ale.

Copper/amber body, with an off-white head. Nice lacing. Both citrus and malt in the aroma. Initial flavor contains some sweet malt, but the grapefruit rind characteristic of the hops quickly takes over. Pleasant, moderately bitter aftertaste. Good carbonation. This is an extremely drinkable IPA.

THOUGHTS: A beautiful looking beer. Smells pretty good too. A bunch of citrus hops. And then I tasted it. The sweet parts of this beer are watered down and you are left feeling like you are sucking on a mouthful of pennies. Rather thin mouthfeel too. I didn’t care too much for this one flavor wise. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by Dogfish Head, but I think this is a poor IPA. The initial flavor was pleasant enough, but the finish was way too harsh for me. It does get better as you go along but it’s still not great. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, medium orangey copper with an average to large, off-white, creamy head fully lated and left excellent lacing, that almost competely coated the glass. There was also tons of beautiful carbonation. The aroma was lightly malty, and heavy orange and a liggle grapefuit hops. The Initial flavor was lightly sweet and bitter, while the finish was moderately sweet and harshly bitter with an average duration. The body was light to medium, a little dry and creamy with a metallic finish.

Pours a nice amber color with a thick pillowy head. Aroma is hops, citrus, and a little earthy. Taste is light and malty with a with a bitter twang of hops in the finish. A very subtle IPA and nice if you don’t want your head blown off by the hops.

Bottle. 12 fl. oz. A clear, copper with big, sudsy, off-white head. Leaves good lacing. Piney, grapefruit aroma. Light to medium bodied with a dy texture. Flavor is pretty sweet before a nice amount of bitterness. Not very complex, but nicely balanced.

Poured yellow with fluffy white head. Aroma of hops. Good hop flavor with a nice balance of malt in the finish.
