Pours and interesting copper/orange with perfect white head. Nice lacing noted after a couple of sips. Aroma is pleasant and piney with a slight sweetness. Medium body with great malt backbone and a nice hop presence. Grassy and sweet. Really up my alley for an ipa. I like them with some maltiness. Very nice finish.

Another beer from Scuttlebut which I quite enjoyed. The body was an orangey-sort of mix, not a usual IPA hue, underneath a short-lived thin, off-white head. Aroma was better, showing off lots of hop but not in an overpowering was. The taste, however, was a different animal, with lots of hops in play but not so much as be a detriment. Mouthfeel and finish were both quite proper.

Pours a dull orange with a large frothy head. Noticeable pine and floral notes immediately. Fresh hops are in abundance. Almost a little honey as well. Taste is well hopped with some pungent grass and herbal notes. a battle of sweet and bitterness near the end. Really nice!"

Love the rusty-orange color. Bold, Canadian-IPA-like malts. Cakey, but with a mild sweetness. Citrusy hops. Lively carbonation, probably too lively. Moderate bitterness. More citric bite. Decent beer, yet unexciting.

Pours a nice amber orange with thin white head. Aroma of citrus hops ever so slight, but dulled compared to other non-floral hops. Flavor at first was extremely different for an IPA, but came back somewhat, but defniitely has it’s own character in the IPA world.

12oz bottle. Pours a deep amber with a sporrty foamy head. Citrusy nose of hops. Flavor is really hoppy with a nice little twiat of pine forest and some grapefruit rind. Really full assortment of flavors here. Thanks Alex!

12 oz bottle thanks to Alex. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head and lots of sticky lacing. The aroma is sweet citrus hops and light caramel malts. The flavor is very nice; smooth and hospitable citrus hops, a bit of pine, light malts. Easygoing and nice.

Bomber courtesy of scrizz. Pours copper with a sustained white head. Smells of earth, floral, grassy, perfumy. Tastes of pepper, citrus, grapefruit spicy. NIce!
