12 oz. Bottle. Pours a nice deep golden reddish/amber with a white head that dissipates quickly with no halos. Aroma is heavy on hops and minor citrus. Taste is medium bitterness with a slight sour. Palate is light to medium with a thinish texture and a lively carbonation. Finish is not bitter, but not too much. Good IPA. Maybe a starter for some, but respectable.

Nice color, poured from a bottle into a mug. Aroma was sweet. Medum carbonation. Very bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours a clean medium amber with a sticky off-white head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of sweet caramel, mild citrus, fruit, and pine. Taste is predominantly malty with a nice piney hop profile. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. An enjoyable beer, but nothing to remember.

This beer should be called IAA - India Apricot Ale. Great taste! Just tons of apricot, IMHO. Ruby, cloudy pour, lovely color. Decent head. Some alcoholic flavors, but not dominating. The hop is good, not too nuts. Tastes like a little bro to the Hopslam. Carmel taste from the malt coming through nicely in combo with the hop. Nice brew! She’s got some snort to her!

a smooth and crisp ipa, not a fan but this one did the trick. it lingered around for awhile but overall i thinked this ipa but yeah, recommend it try it make your own decision

Huge citrus hop aroma, firm bitterness without astringency. Sweet malt balances well. Finish is crisp and flavorful. One of my favorite IPAs.

This was a great surprise. I am a fan of Moose Drool. This is even better. IPA’s are becoming my favorite beer. This beer has fantastic citrusy hops. They linger on the palate much longer than most other IPAs I’ve had. The hops start off with a strong lemonzest note but turn to apricot or maybe slight peach to linger on the palate. This is delicious and I will be drinking it all summer long.

Aroma: Wow an IPA with a big complex aroma. The floral, piney, citrus goodness of hops are is very powerful, while malts remain very clean. Appearance: The beer pours with bright clarity, a deep copper color and tall off white head that lingers. Flavor: HOPS! The hops are in the flavor forefront. The hops give their citrus and piney flavors to beer. The balance is towards the bitter and yet the bitterness is not over powering. Mouth feel: Smooth medium light bodied beer. There is slight astringency on the sides of the tongue; it could just be the bitterness coming through. Overall Impression: It’s very good beer, definitely a buy again and again beer. The Hops are in your face with their wonderful aromas and flavor.

Poured a nice clear golden amber with a off white color creamy head that diminished withing five minutes which was unfortunate but left really nice lacing. The aroma was a very citrusy grapefruit with hints of pine and maltyness. Taste was very crisp with a bold citrus grafruite flavor. Had a kind of ashy after taste on the palate but sat clean. Overall this is a fruity ipa which I do like and would recommend.

Outstanding! Very hoppy and fresh. Strong flavor of grapefruit and some pineapple. Smells great and has an absolute perfect color.
