Better than average IPA, lots of hops and a hearty malty body. Pretty enjoyable beer. Nothing wrong, nothing particularly exceptional but that’s good.

Golden amber color with a small off white head. Aroma is sweet with a hint of pineapple and hops. Flavor starts lightly sweet followed by some grapefruit and pine and finishing dry and orange peel bitter. Palate a bit thin, but I wouldn't kick it out of bed.

A bit thin and unsatisfying for an IPA. Some good flavors that just done finish.

Frothy white head, bright orange color, and a floral aroma as advertised. Well balanced brew, but if I have an IPA I want hopshopshops, and this just doesn’t do it for me.

Hops really aren’t noticable until the finish, bt other wise I thought this was a very nice IPA.

Rerate Sampled again - still a good IPA - just had so many better ones to rate this one so high - description still sticks Original 3.8 Moderate hoppy aroma with a slight citrusy bent to it. Nice thick, lacy head and a thick, cloudy orange appearance. Hoppy flavor - but not too overpowering - makes for a strong finish. Finished with my mixed six of Flying Dog - overall - not a bad group of brews so far.

12 oz. bottle pours with a small amount of head that ain’t stickin’ around. The color is marvelous extra-orange amber with a real shine to it. Very watery. Flavor is exceptionally woodsy and hits with a bitter wallop on the rear sides of the tongue. Oh my, this is one bitter devil. Far from balanced it has a charm to it. Not going to win any popularity contests but it’s unforgiving nature sets it apart from other moderate alcohol IPA’s.
