4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This starts off with a huge blast of hops in the aroma. It pours a clear orange-amber, with a full white head. This beer is a really hop heavy IPA, it starts with a punch of citrus bitterness, then fades to a long bitter finish. Slightly slick mouthfeel, and a moderate body. This is an exceptional IPA.

22oz bottle thanks to miketd: Pours a clear deep golden bronze with a clingy-lacing froth of white head. Has a lightly sweet toasted caramel malty nose with a good amount of piny resiny hops. Starts with pretty good fullness and a clean light malty sweetness with a healthy dose of grapefruit and piney hops with a touch of fresh-cut grass before a drier, crisp bittersweet finish. Could be a little cleaner, but still fairly drinkable and true to style.
