Commercial Description:
This West Coast-Style India Pale Ale is extravagantly hopped, full flavored, medium bodied and copper colored. A menagerie of hops is combined throughout the brewing process to impart specific characteristics. Hops used include Simcoe for a unique fruitiness and grapefruit zest, Columbus for strong hop pungency, Centennial for pine and citrus notes, and Cascade for floral aroma.

Pours orange with thick off white head. Aroma of citrus hops. Taste has nice piney, hop bite. Great session beer. Good balance with hops and malt. One of my favorite IPA’s.

On tap at MacGregor’s. They just got it in yesterday and a bunch of us jumped on it. Aroma of a large juicy grapefruit. Palate is smooth and creamy to start - malty, then you get the hoppiness kicking in, very nice, a good one.

Crushed with Jakebra. Musty nose, with some nice hops in there. Not sure where the must is coming from. Good hoppy flavor. Spicy, piney, bitter hops. Finish begins with a very sweet malt then a rush of bitter hops hits the palate and drives it home. A decent beer with a superior finish. Dug it.

Pour from a 6-pack. Reddish brown Lots of sediment (should have been more careful with my pour). Thin creamy head good lacing. Smells of grapefruit and pine. Sappy beer. Tasks those hops! Malt barely comes though surprising given the color. Great beer!

too harsh....this yellow-orange beer has too much residual sugar and is way too abrasive in the flavor department. i’m not sure if it is the hop combination or what, but the pine-sol flavor comes on strong. give me a stone ipa any day

Clean citrus notes, beguiling hop bitterness and supportive, yet supple malt. My touchstone IPA.

A rich smell of pine needles and other hop esters with some caramel malt in the background. Pours a light amber color with alight amber hue, minimal white head, suspended sediment, and some carb action. A rich taste of pine needles, fresh grapefruit, and other hop esters with butter and a hint of caramel malt in the flavor. Medium bodied, buttery and resinous feel, with lively soft carbonation. Another great session IPA with the perfect bitterness, well balanced, for hopheads - yummy. Leaves a fruity aftertaste of hops.

Amber in color and slightly hazy with a decent sized off-white head. Aroma is of pine, hops, grass, and grapefruit...lots of grapefruit. Taste is of the same with some caramel and floral notes.
