This is very close to HopDevil and Stone IPA. Very good IPA. Slightly hazy dark copper appearance. Medium sized off-white head. Strong hoppy, piney, lil minty aroma. A slight detection of alcohol. Flavor was bursting with hops. Some floral flavors I’ve never tasted before. Grapefruit. Good bitter finish. Excellent IPA.

Bottle conditioning produced the appropriate cloudy, amber appearance. The complexity of the nose increased as the temperature decreased: highly hopped, citrusy, with an underside of spices and flowers that developed nicely. Well-carbonated, with a medium body and a clean, hoppy taste that does not neglect the malts. Finishes dry and a slightly bitter with a bit of an alcohol burn at the end.

Thanks to rater Kinz for sending me such an awesome package of brew last month!
Pours with a fizzy copper body and a fat pillow of white rocky head on top.. lacing all over the damn glass. The aroma is quite floral.. full of citrus and other tropical fruit: grapefruit, tangerine, mango, and guava, with a note of lime. The flavor brings all of the same tropical ambiance as the aroma but it also boasts a rich suggestion of spicy pine and cedar chips. There is some warmth in the finish and a bit of astringency... finish is dry as a dehydrated dog! Nice thick palate, full body and sticky lipped! – pretty damn tasty if may say so!

heavy on the malt to balance out the hops nicely. a good ipa. worth trying.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
decent fruity smell, long retaining head. Interesting interaction of malt with citric hops with the malt coming out on top at times. An okay IPA, not my favorite.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Smell of grapefruit and a little piney. Mouthfeel is a little grainy. Nice grapefruit flavor with a decent balance. Well above average IPA
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Fluffy, pillowy, sparkling white head with thick lacing on top of a amber-orange pour. Fragrant, floral and sprucey aroma, very fresh. Moderate hoppy, citrusy grapefruit flavor but is mellowed out with some sweet nutty maltiness for excellent balance. Mouthfeel is tart, but not tongue numbing. Higher ABV is hidden well. Overall, an excellent IPA.
