Commercial Description:
This India Pale Ale is an exciting beer with a floral in aroma and an incredible hop flavor. The maltiness is increased (over a regular pale ale) to help balance the aggressive hop usage. This contributes to the higher alcohol content as well.

Nice crisp hop aroma. Good copper/orange body & great hop bite in the taste. A very nice IPA - although I think it might be a bit thin.

Golden color with a soapy white head that leaves pretty good lacing. Smell has a little bit of a nice citrus zest, but is overpowered by some sulfur-like aromas. Initially has a nice grapefruit taste but sadly it kicks into a strange metallic, buttery, and sulfury taste. Lighter than medium body with medium carbonation. I wanted to like this one more, but I just couldn’t seem to get into it.

Bottle. Pours clear gold, fluffy white head. Aroma is citrus, malt, some floral. Flavor is malty, metallic, bitter, and alcoholic. Not a good blend. I would avoid this.

on tap in gettysburg... clear gold with some brownish hues and lots of drippy white lacing. floral aroma noted with grapefruit, orange, light pine, grass and caramel a smidge of caramel. the flavor is mostly caramel, grain and honey and touches of pine, citrus and dryness from hops. bittersweet finish. medium body seems rather rich and smooth since there is little bitterness to ’thin’ it out.

(abbreviated review, due to short notes) - Light hop, thin mouthfeel and weak taste, slightly sweet.
