22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a hazy amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Light, tiny spotted lacing. Aroma is pine and herbal hops. Flavor is quite bitter and somewhat astringent. Lots of pine hops in this one. Doesn’t linger too long in the finish. Medium body. If I were to lay back an IPA for a few months, this would be the one. At the moment there is very little malt presence. Still, a decent IPA.

Hazy orange with a medium off white head. Sweet aroma with hops, pine and malty notes. Flavour was quite hoppy with grapeffruits, pine and malty notes. Quite nice. Finished dry and bitter.

NEarly transparent brown-orange pour, short off-white head. Aroma is good but not exceptional, hops tend to resin/spruce with a hint of grapefruit. Medium body with a honey maltiness in the background. Not too complex, good mouth feel - a session IPA.

Received as an extra BA trade. Pours orange, thick off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, nice fresh hop nose, citrus/grapefruit, some pine, just beautiful aroma. Flavor, not a hop bomb, but plenty to be noticed, nice grapefruit palate, pine, with thin malty presence. Easy to drink, medium bitterness with a nice cirsp malty finish. Just love the whole fresh hop aspect.
