Draft at MBC. Small tan head that quickly dissipated with no lacing, transparent, no visible carbonation, and a gold-orange hue. Malty, hoppy, citrus and a very aromatic nose. Flavor was hoppy, citrus and a little caramel. Smooth mouthfeel and medium body. Nicely done and worthy of a try.

On the more citrusy side of IPA’s - more malt than hops - but it still has a bite. Decent. ON RERATING: With a fresh bottle this has all of the elements of a perfect IPA. Dank nose, check! Copper pour, check! Grassy hoppy earthy flavor, check!

Amber pour with tan head. Citrus aroma with some roasted malt. Flavor is hoppy, yet well balanced to the malt. Good texture and mouthfeel.

22 oz. bomber courtesy of a trade with dirty_martini. Pours a hazy amber with a moderate off-white head that left light lacing and lasted to the bottom of the glass. Very pleasant citrus aroma. The flavor is mostly citrus hops with just a bit of caramel. Bitter at the finish, but by no means acrid. Good stuff.

22 oz bottle. Orange brown, lightly hazed. Tan head that settles to a big-bubbled froth. Primarily pine-spruce, some lemon zest. Full body for an IPA with faint carb. Grapefruit martini, touch of caramel, orange creme. Leads off with some hop bite but finishes smooth. Really like what these folks do.

Very good IPA. Big hoppy smell. Refreshing and really smooth with still plenty of hop bite. Would definitely order gain.

22 oz bottle. Pours a dark cloudy orange with a small creamy head. Big citrus flavor with a nice balance of sweet caramel malts. Aroma of grapefruit. Medium oily mouthfeel with a decent lasting bitterness in the finish. I really like this IPA.
