Wow, low score alert !!!! I guess you have to go with the masses. I ’ll give it a 3.0 then, just so I don’t get in trouble, Bitter, Nasty. Still a 0.5 to me.

Bottle from a mixed 6. Peanut shells and spruce needles on the nose - flavor is more subdued than the nose would indicate, a lot of caramel and breadiness play off the piney hops. I get some strawberry jam as it warms, as well. Super drinkable. A staple.

Pours an opaque orange-copper. The aroma is intensely piney, a bit metallic. The flavor is very complex, lots of citrus and pine, very bitter and long-lived. This IPA stands out.

Bottle at Bishops Arms Vasagatan. Pours dark redish amber. Cookie and citrus aroma. Vell balanced, malty, caramell, grapefruit

Literally shell shocked when I saw that I haven’t rated this yet. I see this sucker everywhere and probably never got excited to try it. It’s probably for the best because this style took me a while to fully appreciate. On tap at Victory night @ Pony Bar. Rich oil hop tang, moderately bitter, nice balance.

Better than I expected. Poured an orange brown color with a short-lived white head. Much darker than other IPA’s ive had. Nice citrus and hop tastes. Great repeat beer. Drank for the 2nd time after going on an IPA binge and upped my rating.

12 oz Bottle -- Pours orange-brown with an off-white head. Excellent nose, sweet cereals, heavy citrus, hops. Really well balanced and very easy going down.

Really hoppy and really drinkable at the same time... this beer is a keeper! One of my favorites for sure
