Some hops in the aroma. Decent. Hops alternate between bitter and dry, with a hint of creaminess in the finish.

Split the first bottle with my wife, and all of the second was mine alone. Nice creamy ivory head on top of a rich copper body. Aroma was pleasingly floral and hopped, and damned if it didn’t taste hoppy as well. Good ’sharp’ mouth and finish. Nice IPA from a good brewery.

Thanks to the Tampa Crew for sharing. Pours amber and orange with a white head. Nose is pine, light malt, some honey, and prickly sap. Flavor is pine, sap, malt, more malt, and some floral hops. Sticky and hoppy with a medium body. Nice beer.

From tap at the Pyramid taphouse in Walnut Creek. Pours clear and golden dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is light citrusy and peach fruity. Fruity and crisp bitter flavourd finish. Nice fruity and smoothly balanced with the malt.

Pours dead clear gold with copper core and thin white head. The aroma is nice and chewy with sweet citrus and caramel as well as full up malts. The taste begins with a pulse of citrus hop bitterness and then moving into sweeter yummy citrus hop flavor notes as well as some sweet and caramel like malts. Very tasty IPA with a solid hop presence.

Bottle. Pours somewhat chill-hazed copper with a creamy off-white head that leaves sheets of lace, Lots of grapefruit and a touch of pine and caramel in the aroma. Medium body and carbonation. Sweet caramel and citrus taste with a firm pine, flowers and grapefruit pith finish.
