22oz bottle. Pours a clear amber with a medium thick frothy off-white head. Perfumy slightly oxidized fruity hop aroma with light caramel. Flavor is chewy piney hops, sweet caramel, fairly full flavored, nothing special here. Medium bodied with a full fluffy carbonation. I’m sure this is probably much better from the pub.

Bottle courtesy of blutt59. Clear golden pour. Sweet aroma with lots of hops. Taste is full fledged hops with a bitter finish. A solid IPA for sure.

On tap as part of the sampler tray at the Brewery. A really fantastic west coast IPA. Awesome chewy cascade flavor and an in-your-face aroma that draws the drinker right into the glass. I’m really enjoying how incredibly fresh these IPAs are during my visit.

Lots of orange/grapefruit herbal hop character in the aroma. Light malt sweetness, scrubbed away by a very nice citrus hop brillo pad. Well balanced. Very nice.

22 oz bottle. Not quite clear orange with a bit of lacy white head. Orange blossom and butterscotch. Creamy carb, candied orange peel, brown sugar. Mild pith bitterness. Fine stuff. Just on the sweet side but hops still shine.

Tasted at Otown Throwdown courtesy Seabass. Light copper pour. Huge hop aroma, woody, pine resin. Taste is toffee, hops and hops. Good.

Draft: sweet citrus nose. Clear orange color. Carmel & grapefruit. Crisp, clean. Some of the grapefruit in the linguring finish. Very good beer. Classic west coast ipa

Bottle. Aroma huge hops, mostly floral and herbal at first, good amount of pine as well, grapefruit appears upon warming. Flavor follows suit, very bitter. Extremely bitter. Not lacking bready malt, but my goodness, this is powerfully hoppy, powerfully bitter. If part of this bitterness is astringency, it’s welcome. Grating on the tongue. A truly in-your-face IPA.
