Very yummy, has a mild hop taste but it has a lot of it. malty with plenty of grassy and piny hops. Nice one.

Pretty orange amber pour with a frothy one finger head. Grapefruit and melon nose with soft hop aroams. Creamy mouthfeel with citrus hops up front. The middle of this beer has an odd flavor that I just can’t pick out. It’s sort of like it’s old hops...but not really. Finish is pithy bitterness. This isn’t a bad beer by any mean...but there are better IPAs out there. Not sure if there are better organic IPAs...

Bottle. Run of the middle ipa. Pours a light orange golden color. Flavor and aroma have good qualities of malt and citrus flavored hops. eh.

~Pours a light golden red colour with diminishing head. ~Nice grapefruit hop scent and some light maltiness. ~Tangy citrus taste followed by bitter hops. ~Acidic feel. Light bodied. Bitter finish. ~I like this beer. Good for sipping on a hot summer day.

Bottle. Grapefruit nose with light caramel and resin. Deep copper-orange body with an orange-tinged creamy beige head. Taste is strongly bitter and hoppy, citrus notes are still there but somewhat less prominent, with a trailing bready note picking up steam and lasting into the resin finish. Medium-full body, strong caramel notes, a touch of dry, spicy grain. Hopheads should like this, though she’s basically all bitterness and a summer sipper.

12oz bottle. light hop and citrus aroma. hazy amber color and a small white dissipating head. citrus at first then malty hop finish. a bit of an acidic salty taste.
