3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This is a solid ’standard’ easy drinking IPA.
Appearance: Pours clear gold, with big white head and lots of lacing.
Smell: Clean and light or reserved hop aroma.
Taste: Grapefruit hop character that is bold but well balance with malt character. This is exactly what I want with a sessionable IPA. Simple but tasty with a nice dry finish to top it off.
Mouthfeel: A bit thin feeling in the mouth. Light - medium body with adequate carbonation but just a tad too watery. Quit refreshing though just not what I expected.
Drinkability: This is certainly a beer for drinking. If you like IPAs don’t waste time on a single get a case =)
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!

a unique difference between the standard IPA, if there is such thing. Very balanced. Aroma very floral. Flavor was fruity...not strong, but complex and elusive....floral,(if u can imagine drinking a bouquet of flowers) orange, apricot. Very smooth....crisp...very good hop balance not too bitter, but compliments the brew.

12 oz bottle. $10 per six pack in CT, $6 in CO. Full on hops, slightly sweet mouth feel., dry finish. Nice white head/ Great summer beer. Slightly prefer Dogfish 60 minute.

Pours a clear amber with some nice cream head. Airy hoppy nose that gives some pine characters. Smells like a forest of vibrant pine trees. Flavor is meaty with piney attributes. Just a robust overall flavor profile. Not much complexity to it. It just hits you and stays that way. Feel is good on the liquid. Nice bubble to it as well. Overall pretty drinkable. Not really a hop bomb, and not really a dud. It is what it is.

Bottle. Pours golden, thin white head with lacing. Sticky floral and citrus fruit aroma - scent of fresh flowers, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple and honey. Flavor is full, round doughy malt middle, with light citrus-like bitterness - lychee, lemon peel - around the edges. Light piney bitterness in the aftertaste.

very light color, good head and lacing... very hoppy as expected. Recommended to me from Bruisin’ Ales in Asheville... good call on this one. I love IPAs and this one just about has it right. Not much malt to it that you can tell over the hops. For a hop heavy beer, you could do worse than this one... and it would be hard to do a lot better...

Bottle. Pours amber with a small white head. pney and floral hop notes dominate both aroma and taste. Bubbly on the palate with a nice aftertaste.
