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.

The explosive hoppy aroma announced how good this beer was going to be before i ever touched my lips to it. A delight from start to finish. Beautiful color, complex flavor, mad hops, magnificent.

bottle. pours a deep orange with a 1 finger thick white head... big floral and resiny hop aromas... big thick body full of hops, citrus notes and a touch of light fruit. amazing tongue scraping bitter finish that lingers quite a while... definitely more like a IIPA... big IBUs, thick hops without going overboard - lovely.

dominant aroma and flavor character is ^piney-§leafy-hop-resin.
a juicy but sticky IPA with great, but not out of control, hop presence.

bottle, pours a hazy copper with with light tan head, looking closly it has particles suspended in it makeing it look hazy. Aroma is big citrus with a little soft sweetness. Taste, the hops go right to the tongue and immediatly start trying to turn it inside out, big citrus flavor. The mouth is coated with a grapefruit smoothness then huge bitterness, pine flavor lingers and the dry mouth wants more. The tingle lingers and lingers. Feels like a double or imperial Ipa. Love it

On tap at Spring Street Smokehouse. Nice amber with a thick head. Aroma is pure hops. Flavor is complex hop layers, pine, grapefruit, not so fruity, just hop bitterness with a mild maltiness. A hop bitch slap.

aromais nearly subdued hops, salty lemons predominate. appearance is amber with little head and great lacing. flavor is huge juicy grapefruits and a carton of ’five-alive’ juice. stinging bitterness really lingers. kudos to the respectable ABV, this is the epitome of a west coast IPA, and great by any regions standards.

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours hazy orange-pink with a very fine, yet intensely creamy off-white head. Aroma of honey, grass, lemon zest, hops, and hints of caramel. Medium, pleasantly crisp body with a slightly tart mouthfeel and a very slow-burning finish. Great IPA.

This beer pours a medium amber color with a thin white head Leaving a little lacing down the sides. On the nose this beer is quite good, notes of spruce, citrus and dough. The flavors are pine, citrus, and a hint of vanilla for some reason. I really liked this one. Cheers!
