Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX.Pours a very nice looking deep amber with off-white head. Aroma is great! Nice, refreshing grapefruit and malt. Flavor is the exact same way. Mouth feel is medium body with high carbonation. Overall, this is a VERY tasty, easy drinking IPA, very refreshing as well.....I’m impressed! Almost gave it a 17 overall....Just an overall, nice, tasty refreshing, easy drinking IPA with all the qualities you would expect from an IPA....Good shit!

Pours a cloudy copper color with little head that leaves lacing throughout - Piney aroma - bitter on the palate solid IPA but I have had better.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Maybe it was the mood I was in but this was one really damn good IPA. Maybe with all the stouts I’ve been sucking down, I was hankerin’ for some hoppage and this delivered that fix for sure. The beer pours out a dark amber color, clear with a creamy light tan head, beautiful lacing and some nice staying power. Aroma has enough hop character to really satisfy my needs with a strong piney punch, followed up with a floral/sweet caramel note. Flavor is really something to enjoy. A near perfect blend of juicy hops and a toasted/caramel malts. Really a damn good job with the balance. The mouthfeel on this beer is so damn silky smooth, it borders on an oatmeal stout thickness. Just a chewy goodness that I really enjoyed. A sixer of this will do me fine tonight while watching the WS. Damn good IPA.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Poured from bottle into Pint glass.
Clear orange-amber with a frothy white head and very nice lacing.
Aroma of sweet toasted malts and citrus hops. Some pine as well.
Much more hoppy and bitter than the smell indicates. Pine and citrus hops with a ever-so-slightly sweet toasted malt counterbalance. Finishes very bitter, which lasts and lasts.
Moderate carbonation, medium body, very dry finish.
Excellent IPA all around. Nice sipper but hard to have too many.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A Mes rate. Bottle at GBBF.
Dark orange gold with a good white head. Big and resinous. Alcohol is a little too clear. Some petrol. Bitter finish. Ok but not amazing.
