Tan to orange with just a touch of haze, nice white head and very good lacing. Smell is nice and hoppy, although a bit funky IMO. Dry, earthy malts mix with tons of hoppy aromas, along with plenty of pine and grapefruit. Taste follows but without the funk that I detected in the smell. Body is medium and slightly oily with hops, with a sweet, pungent hoppy aftertaste. Bitterness is noticeable but nice. It’s a very fine IPA, definitely worth a try. This one leads me to want to try more from 2nd shift.

Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours clear light copper with a 4 finger foamy/frothy off-white head. Lots of hop aroma- floral, pine, citrus. Med+ body. Flavor is mostly pine/citrus over some very smooth roast malt. Floral? Finish is sweet malt and grapefruit rind. Gotta be pretty balanced. Quite delicious.

Bottle. Pour is slightly hazy copper with a thin white head. Aroma is loaded with citrus grapefruit hops, light caramel malt, and more citrus hops. Great aroma! Flavor is more malty than aroma with notes of caramel malt, deep citrus hops, faint resinous hops, and a touch of floral hops. Really great stuff. A touch of bread in the finish. Great IPA.

Sampled at St. Louis Microfest 2011 - Pours golden / orange with an off-white head. The aroma has orange / citrus smooth hoppiness, toasty caramel malt and some fruitiness. Medium body with fairly soft carbonation. The flavor starts off with light caramel malt and lots of hops ~ funky / tropical fruit / pine and citrus. The finish is resiny and lingering. Really nice IPA.
