Cloudy, dense orange pour with an off white and thin head. Seems fairly lightly hopped to me and kind of bland, a little too fruity as well. Not bad, but there are many better options in this style.

Tap @ Jacks, SF. Clear golden color, short head. Good hoppy aroma. Decent bitter taste, malty body. Nice IPA.

Pours a hazy prange colour with a thin white head that leaves decent lacing. The nose displays a resin-like hop quality and caramel. The flavour is intanse and gently hopped while on the palate, but completely fades out in the finish as if it were never there. There is a nice citric flavour, too with some tropicalfruit flavours. It is extemely drinkable, as it displays hop flavour more than it does bitterness. The palate is thin and the finish is dry and super clean.

The appearance is a cloudy orange amber with a thin head and some mild laceing allong the sides of the glass. The aroma is full of pine and spruce scent mixed with floral hops. Initially the flavor is full of pine and bitter hops and caramel malt and the flavor is well balanced. But the finish is very dry and as soon as you finish a sip of beer the flavor cuts out and nothing is left on your palate.

Bottle from the small beer mecca of Philadelphia, the original Foodery on 10th. Hazy glowing orange pour under a light khaki head. Big floral aroma. Flavors of grapefruit, toffee, vanilla mildly roasted malt. Solid hop presence but somewhat out of balance in the otherwise dry finish. Thin texture. A good IPA but not quite in the same league as many other West Coast counterparts.

This is an exceptional IPA. Very well balanced. Not the in your face hops that some American IPA’s are. The commercial description is dead on in this case. I’m an instant fan of Speakeasy

Pours golden amber into a shaker. Fluffy bright white micro head with excellent retention leaves sheet lacing as it recedes. Another weed bomb. Heavy resin and pine aromas. Crisp and sweet upfront with a dry, bitter resin finish.
