Bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours with a small off-white head that goes over a hazed golden body. Very faint aroma with a few faded (nearly British like) hops. Some honey, dough and biscuit following. Taste is better and slightly herbal hops, with a bit of citrus, with a short duration. Light carbonation and dryish mouthfeel.

Bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours a hazy light amber with white fizzy head. Aroma is sweet malt, with some hoppy spice. Flavor is malty, nice hop flavor, with nice hop bitter in the back. Mouth feel is medium body with high carbonation. Overall, pretty good!

Too much grainy copper taste that doesn’t fit an IPA. More hops might help this IPA.

22oz bottle via trade. Pours a hazy glowing golden orange with a big frothy off white head with light lacing. Nose of light citrus peel and a bit funky. Hops and very light bitterness for flavor and finish, an ok IPA.

Pours from bomber slightly hazy, somewhat orangey amber, forming an off white foamy head. Aroma of flowery hops, slight resins and malts. Flavour was of malty and flowered hops, not overpowering. The overall flavour was rather unimpressionable, however the bitterness towards the end does remind you that this is IPA. I mean its an OK beer, and very drinkable. Probably a hit while mowing grass or sessions, after that it doesn’t come across as a memorable ale.

Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy, pale orange body with a thin ring of white bubbles. Smell: A rather restrained aroma. Inhaling nasally like a coke-fiend yields notes of flowers, citrus, and spiced honey. Taste: Honeyish maltiness with a quick, though mild, burst of spice. Floral and citrus hop character. Medium bitterness. Finishes bitter and questionably watery. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. A tad bit watery, I must admit. Drinkability: Certainly not the best India Pale Ale rolling around out there.

Bomber poured a clear amber with a small lasting off white head. Aromas of carmel, earthiness, graininess and light spice. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a slightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, light pine and a hint of spice with a smootrh moderatly bitter finish.
