Commercial Description:
Bright sunrise orange in color, this American IPA is boldly hopped with East Kent Goldings, Cascade and locally grown hop varieties to give an intense yet powerfully smooth bitterness. The subtle caramel maltiness only accents the citrus hop highlights. Dry hopped with an incredible 2-1/2 pounds per barrel, this American style IPA is handcrafted to be extraordinarily refreshing.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear amber hue with a medium white head and sticky lacing. The aroma is caramel, rich citrus hops. The flavor is nice; caramel and earthy malts, bitterness, English hops, light tropical fruit and bitter in the finish. Nice. Easygoing.

12 oz bottle via Mys Swap 4.0 (thanks j12601!). Pours a clear copper with a HUGE HUGE chunky beige head. Nose is perfumy. Taste on this is of....an old bitter shoe? Dusty, dirty, earthy hops. Spices. Green beans... I almost wonder if this is infected considering the huge huge head? No real sourness, but just OFF, in a big way. I cannot imagine anyone would make a beer to actually taste like this on purpose? Whatever, down the drain she goes.

Bottle. Pours a clear ruby hued caramel amber with a large lightly tanned beige head. Big clean citrus hops with a nice caramel note. Medium to thick bodied, but the nice hop notes from the nose give way to a big cardboard flavor and a lot of empty malt. Finishes bitter. Just bracingly bitter with no subtlety or balance. Started off with some promise but fell flat.

Deep copper pour with creamy off white head and lace. Medium hop aroma, apples, caramel malt. Semi sweet malt with a nice resiny bitter. Thin and watery with smooth carbonation.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy rich light tan head that laces and copper color. Aroma is resin/some citrus rind, sweet caramel-medium malt. Taste is light resin/some citrus rind hops bite, sweet caramel-medium malt. Nice, easy IPA, may be a bit thin. Thanks decaturstevo for sharing.

had this on tap at the Hotel in Corning. Very nice IPA, sl haze golden color, some florals and mostly about the hops all the way to the bitter finish. Not much play by Malt.

Pours a mahogany body with an off white head. Strong pine and hop resins with a hint of copper. Pine grass and a moderate amount of caramel malt to balance. Strong cloying bitter earthy almost metallic lingering. Wouldn’t drink again.

Bottle thanks to Skyinbrian. Pours a coppery color. Nose is sweet and definitely has EKG, though minimal cascades. I get some dust from the crystal malt as well. On taste, hoppier than I anticipated, kind of an astringent bitterness as well. Little to no caramel malt flavor and a touch skunky tasting. It’s alright.
