Cloudy amber gold with a big, fluffy, off-white head. Fairly mild hop aroma. Pretty malty body with a crisp hoppy finish. Smooth and drinkable, but nothing very distinguished.

Dec 27, 2009 Very light hops, but there are there. Light brown color. Solid malt base and very light American hops in the flavor. Some biscuit aftertaste. An OK session beer.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear orange with a thin white head. Sweet caramel and no hop presence. I had no idea this was supposed to be an IPA. Grainy and lightly sweet. Finishes with more graininess and a little bit of bitterness. Unimpressive, but still drinkable, which is what Magic Hat seems to go for over memorable.

Dec 17, 2009 Pours amber with a thick off white head. Decent lacing. Aroma is moderately hoppy. Taste is good. For a beer calling itself an IPA this isn’t as hoppy as you would expect. Good beer.

Dec 16, 2009 The pour is amber a touch opaque, with a small yellow tinged head. The aroma is light and mildly hoppy. The beer is tainted with too much carbonation, but the hop is nice and sharp. the finish is slower then most IPA’s, with pine and floral notes. An OK beer. I picked it up in winter sampler from Magic Hat....I generally think of IPA’s as spring/summer beers.

Dec 14, 2009 This IPA poured a slightly cloudy, light orange colour with a nice big frothy, white head. To the nose there are scents of orange and pineapple citrus, citrus and more citrus. First taste was smooth with a nice mellow hopp flavour. Flavours include tea and citrus. Finish is hoppy with a little bitter flavours lingering.

Dec 11, 2009 12oz bottle poured into an English pint. Lucky Kat pours slightly hazy and bronze-colored with a nice, if small, rocky head. The nose is pretty typical for an IPA, mostly consisting of hop resin. The body is a tad watery and the taste is a bit commercial. This is not a very good IPA as far as it goes but it’s an easy-to-drink beer. The finish is quick and uninspired.

Dec 8, 2009 Part of a variety pack. The nose had a toasty or malty hint to it and the head was off-white and didn’t last long, despite a vigorous pour. The appearance looked fine and I debated on rating it a 4. The bitterness doesn’t seem as strong as other IPAs, leading me to check the expiration date which was 3 months in the future. It’s a decent IPA, though I wouldn’t make special efforts to find it in a store.
