Clear amber pour with decent hop aroma. All the grapefruit you could want in the taste. Maybe I shouldn’t have had it after the hop devil, but this one didn’t measure up for an IPA.

Actually pretty weak in the hop department for a beer w/ hop in the name. Flavors of hops, honey, fruit, and grain. Slightly watery mouthfeel w/ an underwhelming flavor character. Very middle of the road and unexciting.

Hopticle Illusion is awesome. It pours a golden orange with a modest white head. Very aromatic (citrus). The flavor is as orange as the color. Orange, hops, a little herbal. This is an awesome IPA for summer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Way too hoppy for me and it left a bitter aftertaste as another reviewer said im glad I only bought one and not a six pack.

Clear amber. Small whitish head. Malty aroma with light citrus. Nice bitterness, but little balance. Medium bodied and dry.

Wasn't bad hops. Enjoyed the taste. The bottle itself is pretty damn cool. Would recommend to a friend ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

shonobiwan (180) - Sound Beach, New York, USA - MAY 7, 2013
Long Island, NY - 12 oz. bottle poured a clear dark amber color with minimal white head and no lacing. Aroma was of a few different hops and of citrus and pine. Taste was along the same lines of the aroma. Towards the bottom of the tulip glass the taste was a hit watered down. The name of this brew is better than the brew itself ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Looks nice, Pours clear orange with a thin head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is earthy and grassy, borderline barnyard. Not a lot of flavor, bitter with a little maltiness on the finish. not a well conceived effort IMHO. Glad I bought a single, not a six.

NOt so flavourless as many other beers from these guys. Quite interesting and nice aroma. A little too hoppy too.

Beerman6686 (3186) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 22, 2013
This one poured a cloudy light orange color with a biege head. Aroma was grassy and citrusy hops with light notes of pale malt. Flavor was semi bitter and lightly fruity with balancing sweetness. Pretty stardard Old East coast IPA.
