Pours a transparent golden-orange with a small soapy white head. The aroma was of pine nose with a little resin and a heavy dose of exoticism (mango, guava, grapefruit, and orange) from the heavenly hop side. The flavour was strong with an upfront pine bite, followed by subtle grapefruit and strong pineapple finish. The pineapple lends a sweeter brew as a result. The alcohol is very well hidden. Overall,, exceptional beer!

Big thanks to JB175 for including this one as an extra! Pours an opaque light orange with a very slim head. Nose? Hops. That’s about all. Floral and citrus hops, with grapefruit, pineapple and apricot notes showing through. Big, velvety smooth flavor with just enough sweetness to rein in the outlandish amount of hops in here. This is really good stuff - nothing that really sets it apart, but a nearly flawless example of the style.

Great in all respects. One of the better IPA I’ve ever had because it has intense hops flavor without any excessive sweetness or or abrasive alchol edge. Not complex, just great with great balance.

Pours a nice golden amber with a thin bubbly off white head. Nice floral and pineapple nose with a flavor to match. Dry and decently bitter finish.

Slightly hazy yellow pour with an orange tint. Thin fluffy white head. Delicious hoppy aroma with lots tropical fruit and citrus. Sweet initially with intense hop flavor. Fruit and citrus notes. Intense bitter pine finish. End is a bit harsh, but this is almost exactly how I like my IPAs.

12oz bottle, pours a clear, yellowish color,with a slightly off-white head that dissipates quickly. Major floral overtones, flavors of grapefruit, lemon, pomelo... nice bitter finish. This is a fantastic beer.
