bottle. Nice floral, spice nose. Flavor is floral, spice, piney, and of course hoppy as hell. It is a little watery in the finish, and you can just tell a bit looking in the glass. A solid IPA, and not for the faint of palate.

Hazy golden color with a medium head. Smells and taste strongly of citrus and hops, definitely sits on the bitter end of other bar. An easy dry finish makes this a nice anytime-beer in my book.

Just choked down a shiner bock of all things right before this sample. That’s like eating a turd sandwich before a twin lobster tail entree IMO. Before I forget, thanks a million to my "spatial" baby "A-Lo" for trekkin a sixer of these with her on the plane from San Hizzle. Been patiently waiting forever and a day to sample this one. The nose tells me right away this one’s no joke. Heavy pine and perfumed presence followed by no shortage of citrus. Pours a sparkling golden straw. The mostly lasting creamy white head leaves very good lace. Yeah, this one’s a whopper alright. The brew starts with high IBU’s that don’t let up. The middle is heavily acidic, and the finish is long and burns bitter. The medium creamy body is lively and feels as dry as a bone at the finish. Most definitely worth the wait.

12 oz bottle, via dirty_martini. Pours a slightly hazy dark gold body with a very small fizzy white head that vanished immediately. The nose reveals very minimal hops, just a light metallic hop note. More malt coming through than hops, not what you want in an IPA. The flavor is actually pretty murky, moderate bitterness, but not especially hoppy, too much bready malt, and just "too" well balanced. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a slightly doughy clingy finish and moderate soft carbonation. Overall, this was just too soft for me. I want bright crisp aggressive hops, not a murky bready barely APA.

12oz bottle. Trade thanks to Bockyhorsey. Pale, hazy onion color with minimal head. Musty yeast aroma with lemon like hops. Clean flavor. There is a biscuit like malt that rides under the lemony hops (that do nothing for me). Dryish medium body. Not a big fan.

I got a nice fresh smelling pour out of this that filled my corner of the room with grapefruit. Loads of pine and citrus in every taste. A very fresh and above average IPA. Lucky guess on this one, now ill need another.
