3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle. Got this at my liquor store at home, figured it would be worth a try since it was on the 99 cent shelf. Pours a orangey-gold color with a small off-white head that dissipates slowly. The aroma is potent, smelling of lots of fruit (sweet grapefruit I think), pine, and a nice amount of hops (more than I was expecting by smell). Tastes of pine, hops, and that’s about it. Where did all of that sweet smelling fruit go??? Not too weak of a build, but I cannot express of disappointed I am about the taste, it is nothing like the smell. Had potential, but meh.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled in a small bottle. Pours deep amber with a big white head on it. Pretty malty but the hops come through in the end.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very nice hop aroma, even through the pretty thick head. Taste is right where you want an ipa, citrus and the right amount hoppy bitterness. This was a decent ipa.

3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
It pours a clear amber with a short khaki head. I smell bread, grapefruit skin, something spicy. It has a nice balance of bitterness and sweetness. Medium to thick body, good carbonation.
Decent overall, but doesn’t taste like most IPAs I’ve had. The hops are there, but hidden behind the malt, which really takes over on this one. Bottle with a best by date of one week from now, so maybe it’s just an old bottle.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at MarCellars. Amber-golden with a small lasting ring of foam. Nose of florally citrus, resin and caramel. Taste is the same with some grain and light gunmetal. Light-medium body is well balanced and an easy drinker.

Great aroma. Wonderful amount of hops that is full but not overwhelming to the palate.

Medium to dark amber color. Thick tan head. Very hoppy aroma, sweet to taste, with a strong bitter finish. If you like a flavorful beer, try this IPA.
