Boy, I hate getting bad kegs to sample. That’s the only conclusion I can come to when I see these other ratings. On tap- nice piney nose....and then.....hops run amuck, and not in a good way. Couldn’t even finish it, too much better beer around.

Tap, sampler glass. Light mahogany color, orange/red hues. Ruby grapefruit, tangerine, grass on the nose. Malty hoppy flavor of biting grapefruit, grassy hop. Flowy smooth mouthfeel. With a tangy hop aftertaste. Most enjoyable beer I’ve found at this brewery.

Growler. Pours a medium amber-brown with a foamy off-white head that diminished quickly. Virtually no lacing. A great hoppy aroma of grapefruit and pine. Taste of bitter grapefruit with a nice balance of sweet malt. Soft carbonation. Light to medium body with an average finish. Definitely a geat IPA.

Sampled from a growler. Pours a deep amber color with a fizzy white head. The aroma has a lot of grapefruit, dank nuggs, and a little resiny character. The flavor is a sweet brown sugar with a ton of bitter, but beautifully balanced. Thick and delicious. Such a quality IPA in this hop shortage. Delicious.

Appearance: dark amber. Aroma: great big pine and grapefruit. Short aftertaste and dry on the tongue.
