Something may be wrong here. Copper, hazy with little head. Aroma is musty. Taste is like lemon rind that has sat in water...sort of metallic.

Looks great. Dark orange; full head. This is pretty nice. Light up front. A good dry hoppy finish. I bit low in the alcohol for an IPA but decent stuff.

Bottle in trade from thethrone. Thanks man!
Pours a nice dark amber color with beige head. Smell is very subtle with some light faded malt and hops aroma and a bit of an herbal smell. Not very fresh or vibrant, though. Taste is earthy, dusty and moderately hoppy with some malt and herbs. Bit more carbonated than I prefer, and a medium body otherwise. Not terrible, but not something I’d reach for again.

On draught at the brewpub in Everett, Washington. Pours a semi-clear golden amber brew with a creamy off-white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Aroma of citrus zest, grapefruit, pine, some caramel and crystal malts and a touch of earthy herbs. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation along with grapefruit, citrus zest, some lemon and light caramel malt. Finish has a short lived mild bitterness that quickly changes to a dry leafy aftertaste.

A great hop profile that lacks bitterness but makes up in a crisp clean after.
