Lots and lots of zesty, fresh, citrus cascade hop aroma. Flavor is much the same- VERY GOOD. This beer is all hop and nothing else. JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT. Medium/full body, bitter finish. I’ll take this beer off your hands any time.

Ok beer bought while camping near Newport,OR. Comes in the usual plain brown Pelican bomber. Very nice looking ale when poured, its slighly darker than the usual IPA..almost amber with a huge creamy/frothy off white head Wonderful spicy hppy aroma.Very pungent but extra fresh. Mm this is a "hop heads"IPA..very strong Cascade hop presence..though there is a noticable malty background..but really its hops,hops, hops on this baby. Very nice and smooth on the palate,nice warm after taste. Nice and drinkable especiually after drinking "swill".

Just got a couple of these in Illinois. This is a fine IPA. Pours orange with a thin off white head. Fantastic floral and citrus aroma with slight caramel malt. Balanced bitterness with a little bit of an oily mouthfeel. Great stuff, I am going to go back to Sam’s to get the rest of their line.

Medium amber yellow pour with a thin head. Smell is oranges, caramel and honey. Flavor is oranges and lemon. Palate is a hint thin and bubbly. Hoppy overall but a bit too mild and underplayed for me.

22oz bottle. Pours with a light haze and a nice orange color with minimal head. Though the head comes to life as it warms with just a quick swirl of the glass. Sweet aroma with light citrus. Pine with citrus peal notes are predominate in the flavor. Fairly bitter with minimal malt presence. Medium body with a dryish finish. A fair brew.

Clear amber pour with a lasting head that provides excellent lacing. Heavily hopped nose is filled with rose petals, pine and orange/lemon/lime citrus. Earthy yeasts and soapy hops in body. This really lacks the malt definition which vaults IPAs into a higher tier for me. Lots of rose petals and orange rind in the hot alcoholic finish.

Deep golden brown with a tight head. Fruity aroma full of cascade hops. Fruity citric hop flavor leads into a bready mlat body. Finishes with a big floral hop flavor and a nice bitterness. Very nice, well balanced IPA
