Commercial Description:
This liquid dream pours a hazy golden orange straw color with a large puffy white two-finger head. First sip of this beer rewards with a super juicy hop presence bursting with fresh orange and lemon citrus then continues to introduce toasted malt undertones.

Pours a deep golden color with a moderate white head. Aroma consists of pine, citrus and hops. Flavor is dominated by hops early, yet with a bit of citrus towards the end. Finishes strong, but doesn’t leave the lingering aftertast.

This beer pours a clear yellowish with a fizzy white foam. The aroma is intense. Citrus, creamsicle, pine, citrus, mango, citrus, and a little bit of locker room sneak through. Intensely citrus and fresh, fresh hops, which is where that locker room hint comes from, very thick and resiny. The flavor is quite hoppy, focused on citrus. I really enjoy this beer, a lot. If you like nothing but hops, you will too.

From Bruisin’ Ales. Pours dark golden, with significant white head. Hoppy aroma, tad above average mouthfeel. Very drinkable tasty, though significant IBU, still some balance. Hop lead citrus lemon mint.

Big thanks to jdubfl for sharing this one. Pours gold with a white head. Nose is so herbal, hoppy, and citrus and pine that it is simply flooring. Flavor is similar, but uber fresh! I swear I can taste hop stems, seeds, and leaves. Absolutely unbelievable beer that leaves a great taste in my mouth and packs an unbelievable hop wallop.

Yes I love IPA’s. Was this a really amazing one...no not really. In fact I found it a bit off kilter. Decent orangeish copper colour with a large fluffy white head. Aroma was decently hopped but a little stale in some parts. Overall the taste was fairly peaceful and satisfying but someting old about it.

Lighter amber color with a white head, decent carbonation, and some lacing. Very interesting and unique nose and if my youth serves me correctly, it is scented with floral rhubarb notes. On mouth it starts crisp then bursts with flavors of citrus and hops similar to bubble gum with a liquid center.
