Boulder, Colorado USA

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

Peach color. White head. Smells like grapefruit, like ruby red. Maybe the peel, bitter smelling. The bitterness in the flavor is a little reminiscent of grapefruit. Very hoppy. At least it is a sharp bitterness. Great for an IPA. Probably the best I have had.

Sweet caramel malt and fruity esters complement strong floral hops in the nose. Lightly hazy deep golden coloured body is topped by a generous, frothy, white, fine bubbled head that lasts well and coats the sides of the glass. Citrus and floral hop flavours attack the palate along with pronounced bitterness. Nice malt backbone comes in late to support. Citrus and peach notes grace the lingering bitterness. Medium body has quite effervescent carbonation which keeps it from becoming cloying or sticky. Very refreshing. Tulip glass. Allowed to warm from fridge temperature. Can received as a gift... Thanks, Adam!

Draught at Flying Saucer Draught Emporium, Houston, Texas.
Creamy off-white head, clear orange body. Hoppy and flowery aroma with a creamy tone behind the bitterness. Hops is dominating in the flavor along with flowers and nuts. Dry and bitter and a classic IPA. Thick mouthfull.

A light yellow or golden pour. Very transparent body and very noticeable bubble activity. The head was big, white and creamy in appearance. The aroma was gentle with grapefruit peel scents. The taste started off smooth and had a light grapefruity bitterness. Then, the bitterness sharpened at the end. Over all, this one was enjoyable and I’d have another.

pours yellowish/orange copper color. Aroma of sweet dried fruit. Lots of hops upfront which then fade into a very smooth sweeter flavor. Aftertaste is very good. I like the balance as well. This is a smooth ipa, i like it!

Poured an effervescent golden with a large fizzy white head. Nice aroma of some grapefruit and pine needles with a bit of candy sugar. Taste is lighty sweet with nuances of grapefruit and pine, leading to a fairly clean and lightly hoppy finish that is only slightly dry. Though this isn’t bursting at the seems wtih hop flavor, it has nice hop flavor and is very drinkable.

Very nice orange look with good offwhite head with notes of grapy and flowery armoes with following flavornotes of similar experiences. Longlasting dry and bitter finish for a very good beer for the style.
