Nice APA, balanced malt and hop aroma. Amber color. Taste has a big spicy bitter bite on the tongue with a nice dry finish.

Bottle. Yada yada yada yada blah blah blah, yada yada yada blah. A good Ipa but nothing to make it stand out.

My last rate was from a bad bottle, so it’s gone entirely. Sampled on draft at the 2nd annual Virginia Beer Festival at Capital Ale House Midlothian. Pours a clear copper coolor with a huge head. Good head retention and lacing. Big resiny hop aroma with fine citrus notes. Very bitter hop taste with resin, citrus and caramel malts. Medium-full bodied.

Pours a cloudy amber color with a thick creamy head. Aromas of piney hops. Flavor of of hops,pine and a hint of citrus,but not much else.Ending is a little watery and somewhat bland.Not bad though.Thanks Ubamartian!

Served to me a hazed golden orange with a small white head that dies to a ring. Smells very subtle of citrus, pine and grass. Tastes toasty, light hops and finishes a little dry. Feel light in the mouth. Extremely drinkable, mild in all its ways including hops but extremely refreshing. Its a shame this one has gone to rest

Bottle. Sweet grapefruit and pine hops aroma. Hazy amber with large head. Caramel malt flavor initially with a metallic pine hops finish. Very hoppy APA - metallic taste is the only negative.

Bottle. Pours cloudy amber leaning towards brown. decent white head, dissipates quickly. Mild lacing. Aroma, hops a plenty, mostly floral and citrus coming through, a little bit of sweet caramel trying to balance out the hops. First sip, I immediately get the bitter from the hops. Wait a few seconds, and then, oh there’s the individual hops, citrus mostly. the malt tries to peek through but just doesn’t kick in, hops definately are the powerhouse flavors. Medium body, lighter than it looks, but full of hop texture. Finish is sweet caramel, bitter hops, dry in the throat and a bit oily in the mouth. Not something I could drink more than one of in a sitting, but definately a good kick in the pants to get things started. Glad I picked this one up.

Cloudy amber color; big frothy head. Hoppy aroma, a bit grassy and earthy, nice. Medium body structure, some good grainy malt flavor, with a good hopping, bringing some nice hop oils. Very good.

Hazy amber color. Some malt and hop aroma. Good body strength, very good caramel and toffee flavor, with a quality and powerful hopping; the hop is resiny and partially fruity, it leads to a very strong and long final. Very good Pale Ale.
