Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with citric, piney and hoppy notes. Sweet and hoppy flavour that develops likewise with a solid bitter finish

Pours a nice dark gold with a touch of amber. Small but lasting off white head. Big nose, sweet candied citrus, a little pine and bananas. OMG, beautiful. Big hop flavor but great balance, nice bitterness but not to over the top. I could drink a few of these.

On draft at Midtown bar in Harrisburg. Poured cloudy orangeish golden in color with a medium sized beige head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral, citrus and piney hops. Tastes of orange citrus, sweet malt, with a nice bittering hop taste which leads into the finish nicely. Great body and great hop flavor.

Pours a hazy orange, with an impressive white head leaving great lacing. An intense, wonderful aroma of hops, floral notes and citrus. Hop blast to start the taste balanced by a lingering mild sweetness. Basically, what any IPA lover would look for. An incredible beer by any measure, and one of my ";goto’s"; when I can’t decide on anything.

Pours a hazy orange, with a decent white head. Aroma is of bitter hops and floral notes. with hints of oranges. Taste of bitterness hits first, followed by a lingering sweetness that is damned delicious. Has the perfect amount of bite to make this enjoyable, but not overly bitter. Very good beer.

22oz Bottle. Golden color with a fluffy, white head that leaves Belgian lace on the inside of the glass. You can smell and taste the citrus from the abundant use of Centennial hops. A refreshing burst hits your mouth with the first sip due to the carbonation level and bitterness. The high hopping rate covers the high alcohol content (6.9% abv), but a bit of residual malt sweetness makes it through at the finish. Nothing complex here - just a straight forward, highly hopped, American IPA.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy gold with a hint of orange and a small but creamy white head. Nose is big on citrus - pineapple, grapefruit, orange all come through, sweet but clean. Taste starts off with clean, lightly sweet caramel malt and lightly astringent hops, with a finish that allows the fresh citrus to really shine, and a lighter than expected bitterness lingering on the palate. The overall result is an utterly fantastic IPA - not overpowering, refreshing, flavorful, and one of the most drinkable IPA’s I’ve ever had. Emphasizes the flavor of the hops, rather than just the bitterness. Superb balance.
