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.

Bottle Pours a cloudy amber with a good off white head. The head is froathy and lasting. Produces some spotty lacing. Has a good hoppy aroma. I get citrus, oranges, some malts, and some pine. Has a decent carbonation. The mouthfeel is good. A good bitter hoppy flavor. The alcohol is hidden well. Has a clean crisp taste. The texture is very middle of the road. Has a medium body. Has a good finish with a great aftertaste.

Nice honey, orange copper colour, with nice cream coloured lacing. Spicy citus aroma. Very bitter, metallic flavour. Did not like this one, the bitter maettalic flavour was way too much.

A golden brown beer with a small head. The aroma is wonderful with a lot of pine, & citrus. The taste is piney, fruity, citrusy, with a big bitter bite that leads to a dry finish. A good IPA that can get very dry.

Aroma is nicely balanced. Some juicy hops, citrus. Flavor is bright and clean and crisp. Some balance sweetness with lots of juicy hops. Some more citrus, nice.

Dark Apricot pour, with dissipating white head. Lots of fresh hop aroma, lots of citrus, lots of grapefruit notes and some slight honeysuckle. Flavor is bone dry tart grapefruit the whole way through, finishing very bitter. Lots of fizz at the start as well. Pretty nice for an IPA

hazy Orange pour with fizzy white head. Aroma is Fresh Citrus - oranges and a touch of red grapefruit. Flavor starts off citrusy but turns to a nice light caramel matl with a sharp bitterness at the end. Incredibley fresh tasting, this IPA tingles my palate. Very nice
