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.

There seems to be a very grapefruit-like tone and the bitterness seems well balanced by the malts with more of the bitterness lying in the finish. It seems pretty organic and refreshing but not striking. Its a nice beer to drink and it has an orange-copper color which makes it seem appealing. Nothing earth shattering but pleasant at the same time.

Pours with a large off-white head over a light amber body. Fruity aroma with delicate flowery hops. Bitter flavor that has a good malt support. Earthy hop flavor. Good balance of hops and malt.

Clear copper, thin beige head. Nice "pop" in the aroma - mostly pine & toffee, which is echoed in the flavor. Nice earthy, musty flavors combine with piney hops, with just a touch of citrus.

This is the first Wagner Valley beer I’ve had. I was pleased enough that I’m interested in finding some more of their beers. This is one that I thought was mostly simple but would be great for a party where you are session drinking or maybe a suitable trasition beer. It is assertive in it hops but mild enough and well balanced enough to be completely approachable. Appearance: Pours a coppery orange color with a smidge of haze. Smell: Mild floral citrus nose. Taste: A solid citrus hop character is balanced by a sweet caramel malt flavor. Simple, straightforward, and tasty. Mouthfeel: Smooth medium body IPA. Drinkability: This beer does not send off fireworks but it sure goes down easily. Hope this is helpful. Cheers!

Bold orange with white head that stay till the end of the glass. Pine, malt, hoppy aroma. Palate is bitter with lots of malt there along with a real lot of hops. Think grapefruit. Dry dry finish. I like my IPAs and I like this one they did it right.

Poured a clear dark amber with a large off-white head. Beautiful citrus and pine aroma with some caramel undertones. Flavor is mildly bitter citrus and pine with some caramel and dry toffee with a touch of doughiness. Surprisingly nice IPA.

Good stuff. Pours golden brown with a sticky looking head with large bubbles. Aroma is great hops, really strong and fresh. Flavor is sweeter than the aroma, but balanced and refreshing. A bit watery, but still really good.
