Commercial Description:
Columbus dry-hops added directly to the open fermenter uniquely characterize our IPA with an intensely robust pure-like floral aroma and resinous hop flavor. A pronounced hop bitterness is balanced by a medium-bodied, lightly caramel and toasted malt character with a nutty finish.

From bottle - thanks imadeadguy : Pours a hazy copper tone color, with a half finger of foathy, sticky head. Sticky lacing gets left around the glass. Nose is kinda odd for an ipa. I get a pretty good amount of fruit, then some malts, and lastly some hints of hops. Taste has a weird spiceyness to it, hardly any hops, and some malt. Not a fan. Medium body with a carbonated mouthfeel. This doesnt even feel like an ipa.

From a bottle that I was told was about 1 year old: While the nose was nice enough and on the fresh side in the mouth it came off as dried out. Overall, it was nice enough but even guessing at how it would have been fresh, I’ve had plenty of better ones.

an IPA with a soft spirit thin and understand. It does smell nice but all the hops are in the back end. Matlt is to much for the light hops.

Pretty mediocre.. Amber with a white head. The grassy hoped nose is the high point. Easy to drink IPA, not too hopy or bitter..

Pour is an orange with a large foamy white head. Aroma is very much pine hops with a nice earthyness. Flavor is a nice subtle caramel malt with a nice sized helping of citrus hops. A pretty fine IPA to have around the house.

On cask at the Ginger Man. Pours an amber/orange with a slight head. Aroma is predominantly citrus and grapefruit with some slight piney hops. Flavor is dominated by grapefruit, other citrus hops, and wheat. Nice bitter hops finish. Fairly mellow due to the large citrus presence. Deliciously citrusy and more citrusy than any other IPA I’ve had to date. No carbonation, which made the mouthfeel a little odd, but it was very good. Worth it to seek out, at least on cask.
