Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a longlasting white head. Has a fruity malty floral hoppy aroma. Fruity malty smooth hoppy bitter flavor. Has a fruity malty hoppy finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Orange color at pour with decent sized white head. Some fruits in the aroma but flavor has really not much to it, not as bitter as most IPAs, but just really watered down is all. So so for this style.

Nice orange amber colour, sweet malt and tropical fruit aroma. Flavour profile has the sweet malt following through and some breadiness and stonefruit with long, pleasent but not acrid bitter finish.

12 oz bottle. Poured this into my favorite tulip glass. Poured aggressively and created a 2 finger lingering head which faintly laced the glass. The nose whispers IPA, but does not shout. In fact, nothing about this beer screams for attention. The flavor is balanced, with the hops flowering in the finish, but not bittering. The mouth is nice, carbonation is mild. Overall, this beer is a balanced an d slightly muted IPA, very drinkable.

12 oz. bottle poured into shaker- poured transparent copper with dark amber undertones, medium carbonation, razor thin white head formed and tried it’s best to lace. Aroma of malt and hops- but a very distinct smell of musky worn socks are in the background as well. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt is there as the hops roll in, middle is where it starts to deteriorate as the malt fades away quickly, finish is weak and kind of has a watery feel. Leave those hops bags in there longer boys...

Smell is the best part, color and taste are sub par. Plus, it doesn’t go too well with cheesecake.

Pours an light amber gold color with a medium sized white head. Aroma is pretty standard basic hops, grapefruit, pine but not all that present. Pretty mild with a moderate caramel sweetness. Flavor starts with a sweet hop fruit presence that doesn’t really kick but stays mellow as a more caramel and toffee malt backbone comes in. Finishes with a soft bitterness that doesn’t leave much aftertaste. Medium body and average carbonation. Nice IPA for people who don’t won’t overly hoppy beer, much like an american pale ale. Not bad.
