Pours clear deep gold, with a medium white head, good lacing. Aroma of pine, hay, grass and caramel. Medium bodied, velvety, and dry. A little apple flavor under strong bitter pine and citrus. Medium bitter, lasting aftertaste, with a hint of sweetness just after swallowing.

Solid IPA, nice grapefruit/pine aroma, huge grassy hops covered in just enough caramel malt. Piny, slightly fruity, herbal, floral, and well balanced.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a medium white head. Smells of citrus, grass, mango, and grapefruit. Tastes of citrus and malts with a sweet undercurrent of floral hops. One of the better IPAs I’ve had recently.

Bottle - Mondial de la Bière, Montréal. Limpid golden body with average carbonation and a fair white foamy head. Enjoyable malty/hoppy aroma with floral and fruity hints. Taste is well balanced and carries piney and herbal notes. Ends with a long bitter finish. Good IPA.

Bottle. Pours gold with a white head. Floral hoppy aroma with some citric hints. The flavor brings earthy, floral hops, and a bit of sweet malt. Decent, but not overly impressive.

Poured from Bottle into Pint glass. Pours a crystal clear golden color with a finger of white creamy head that dissolves into a fine layer around the glass. The Aroma has piney/grassy hops and some grapefruit. The flavor has a biting piney bitterness upfront with caramel malt down the stretch and ends up with a sweet bitterness. Its a medium bodied beer that a lightly carbonated. Its a nice change of pace from the typical NW citrus hop bombs but that doesn’t mean I’d reach for it every time I saw it.

Pours a cloudy golden orange color. Thin white head. Aromia is grapefruit and pine. Flavor leans heavily toward the bitter hops. Just a hint of caramel malt and peppery spice. Mouthfeel is a little on the watery side. Bitter hop finish. In this IPA, the hops seem a bit "forced," overpowering rather than being complimented by the other flavors. A decent IPA, and a good session beer.
