On draught at San Francisco Public House. Hoppy, floral, light. Slightly opaque yellow-orange. Nicely hopped aroma, has some citrus to it. Tastes reasonable, but its actually nothing special.

ChiGuy68 (108) - Illinois, USA - APR 10, 2013
Tasted from a 12oz. bottle. It poured a hazy golden color with a full, frothy head that lasts. Has a nice hop aroma with an agressive hop taste. A first rate IPA.

Cool_Bond (475) - Eskilstuna, SWEDEN - APR 10, 2013
Decent with fragrance. The taste is really good. The aftertaste is left a little while. Perfectly okay to drink beer.

BlackHaddock (2353) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - APR 9, 2013
Bottle: poured four times into my toothbrush holder plastic tumbler (hotel room in San Fran) on 4 Feb 2013. Pale amber body with an off-white head. Hoppy, bitter and dry tasting: I’d had it in a sink full of ice while we went out and I thought it got better as it warmed, when cold it had little to no bite from its hoppiness, once a bit warmer the hops really asserted themselves and they came alive. I’m not a huge ’hop monster’ but I thought this was very drinkable in deed.

FatPhil (7496) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - APR 7, 2013
355ml bottle - shared by VasActiv - thanks! (6+:3:6+:4:13=3.2++)
Sweet sickly fruity aroma. Thinnish palate, just a bit of sweetness. Full and resiny. Nice bitter hops, just a bit piney, no dryness. Well balanced despite being over a year old. Finish peppery and piney and long.

AxelRipper (12) - Cowlesville, New York, USA - APR 6, 2013
Straight from bottle. Wonderful smell. Hoppy but not overly so. Very clean finish, with a good deal of undertones behind the initial IPA bite.

beerbaaron (379) - Wisconsin, USA - APR 5, 2013
LIght orange amber. Large frothy white head with lots of lace. Full hoppy balanced aroma, sweet, fruity, citrus. Medium body. Smooth hop bitter. Balanced. Grapefruit, pine, sweet citrus. Very drinkable. Nothing daring, but a well made beer.
