This beer is brewed for those who appreciate the pure pleasure of the Hop. The malt comes through, but its not long before the hops take over! Aromatic, bitter and a bit strong, this beer graduated from the more is better school.

This was a great surprise. The first time I tried this beer, I was pleasently surprised to the aroma when I opened it. It was strong but not pungent. Then when I tasted it, I was a slap in the face with Hops style IPA!!!! Truely enjoyed it!!!

Clear golden, 1-inch head which quickly receded, with lacing. Citrusy hops dominate aroma, Full bodied, rightly carbonated, with nice bitter hops flavor and finish. Refreshing, not overbearing.

Great hoppy aroma with a slight bit of fruit coming through. Man, I judged this one wrong by the stupid label. It is a very smooth and balanced. It is a bit bitter but has a nice malt backbone to balance things out.

Bready, slightly yeasty aroma with lightly piney hops. The flavor is mostly non-descript bitter hops. Mediocre.

Redbones, on tap. Clear dark golden color with great lacing and a white head. Fruity nose. Light, inviting, balanced. Slight thinness. Good-natured brew with mostly clean malt that is slightly sweet and a nice hoppy breeze to balance it out. Quaffable. Very nice approach to the style.

Bottle. Clear golden, nice white head and lacing. Not as good as I remember it from brewhouse. Maybe a little stale, but tastes earthy and not very bright. Still it’s easy drinking.

Aroma - Fresh, hoppy aroma of pine and citrus, with some caramel and light fruit in the background.

Appearance - Clear burnt orange, medium white head, and only so-so lace.

Flavor - Citrus peel bitterness comes on quickly, overwhelming the underlying sweet malt flavors.

Plalate - Medium body and carbonation, resinous with a long dry finish.

Overall - A solid American IPA, thirst quenching, and flavorful.

Guessing this is the right thing, Got a bonus growler from Alldaydrinker. Shared with my girlfriend Cyn and some friends. Orange bubbly with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is very slightly hoppy. Taste is sweet and hoppy and resinny with a lot of bitterness. Its an ok, ipa.
