NIce spicy hop aroma. Good color. Good Hop Flavor. It seems a little light on body however for an IPA. Also it seemed a little over carbonated. A decent craft Amercian Style IPA

Slightly hazy gold, average head. Grapefruit and orange aroma. Bold hop flavor, very easy to drink, quenching in it’s clean finish and from the juicy citrus notes.

Bottle, poured at Oakes and Beershines. Rich golden color. Fruity aroma wtih good caramel notes and hops. Flavor is pretty malty up front and then leads to some nice citrus hops. Pretty well done.

Bottle. Pours a light to medium golden. Aroma of hops with citrus hinting through. Medium body. Decent hop profile with a lot of hop taste up front mellowing into a citrus finish. Overall a very good IPA. Not the top of the class, but a solid contender.

Draught. Deep gold with a lacey white head. Floral citrucy hop aroma. A bit sweet for an IPA, bit with a strongly bitter finish to clean it up, and a god deal of orange, grapefruit, and sappy hop flavor. Almost hefty in body with standard carbonation. A pleasant surprise as I frankly wasnt expecting a whole lot out of this.
