3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Orange-grapefruit-pine signature American hops are assertive in the nose without being aggressive. Clear orange-tan coloured body with decent off-white head that recedes to cover with some lace. Strong American hop flavour with moderately extreme hop bitterness. Good supporting malt base. Very well-balanced despite it’s strength though obviously tilting the scale towards the hops. Medium body with fair carbonation. Perhaps due to all those resiny hops it coats the teeth. Mild alcohol warming. Bottle enjoyed with Lubiere, MartinT and Rastacouere.

Bottle poured into a brandy snifter. Appearance is a nice copper with a sticky white head of foam about half an inch thick. Nice retention. Not much in the way of lacing. The aroma is grapefruit and orange peel. Some breadiness comes through as well. Taste is a great mix of bitterness, pungency, sweetness, peppercorn spice. Super drinkable. I rseally like this beer.

A good, yellow IPA that’s rather new in Texas. A good dose of hops for a bit of pine flavor and a slight bit of sweetness.

Hazy amber orange pour, with a small dissipating. Nose is all citrus and pine. Taste full of flavor, nice bitterness but not maddening so ! Finishes smooth with some lasting bitterness, easily drinkable and quite refreshing IPA. Quaff Score ( drinkability with hearty enjoyment ) 8 / 10
