A real cloudy copper colored IPA. Nice aroma with decent flavor. Very smooth IPA with not a lot of bitter bite
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours beautiful golden amber with a small amount of head. Aroma is citrus and hops. Almost reminds me of a maharaja light, haha. Medium bodied. I get strong citrus and hops on the palate. Nice grapefruit in there. Nice mouth feel as well. Stays around for awhile with the grapefruit/citrus.

bottle.
Pours a pale slightly hazy light orange color, nice inch of off white head that clears to leave a decent layer of foam and plenty of lacing. Heavy, sticky aromas of citrus and pine resins, with some underlying notes of caramel and booze heat. Aromas on the harsh side. Flavor mellows over the nose; sharp but contained hop bite on the front, showing notes of grapefruit, fresh cut grass and flowers, and some resins. Bitterness sticks throughout. Minimal sweetness- some light toasted caramel notes in the background. Flavor is solid, if not especially exciting or showing much depth. Palate is a bit on the oily side, with some light bitterness on the finish. Overall a decent IPA, but nothing really beyond that.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at the Avery tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits. Pours clear copper with a medium off-white head. Piney and grassy hop aroma without much malt balance. Earthy and grassy hop flavor with a bit of malt in the middle before the bitter finish.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz. bottle. Had to grab something to get the awful Shiner Leicht out of my palate. This saves me with a nice whiff of grapefruit hops as soon as I pop the cap. Pours a cloudy IPA orange with a rocky head, dwindling with a bit of lace. Taste actually starts with thick, creamy malts, close to a caramel chew. Cheek to cheek with our favorite American hops; the 3C’s plus a puckery smack of Amarillos, I think. Like gargling with Pine-Sol, but in a good way. Keeps its balance all the way down. Yay.

Poured a golden color with a thick, foamy white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, pine and flowers with a taste of grapefruit, malts and hops with some piney/floral follow up. Nice mouthfeel. Solid IPA
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours out a mostly clear golden color with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is of citrus and slight pine hops and a little lingering sweet malt. Taste is citrus and pine hops with a balance of some sweet malts, slight floral hops in there also. Well balanced. Overall a very solid IPA.
