Lightly hazed coper color with a moderate light ecru head. Fresh green hops aroma, perhaps a bit grassy. Light malt and caramel in the backdrop. Heavy sheet of lace. Fairly thin in the start, without much sweetness of malt depth. Quite dry throughout. Mild pine and citric zest bitterness in the middle. Finish has a little return of lightly toasted malt. A mid echelon IPA. No faults, but nothing real exciting either.

Hazy red amber with visible sediment, a rocky, kakhi-colored head sticks around for the duration and leaves chunks of lace all down the glass. Aroma is piney hops, but a little weak. The hop flavor is full bodied though: coniferous hops at the front, turning towards grapefruit and then a soapily bitter finish. Juicy mouthfeel, creamy when it includes some of the head.

Pour is lightly hazed deep reddish amber with a thin but very dense and sticky light brown head...smell is citrus and fruity with some faint floral notes....taste is caramel sweet at first, turning nicely grapefruit and soapy bitter toward the finish....this is much better than the ratings indicate...nice lingering bitter flavor...

Pours a copper color with a large frothy off-white head, which fades quickly and leaves a bit of bubbly lacing. Aroma is floral, a bit of citrus, and some piney hops. Taste is about the same with a balance of malts. Not too bad.....could be an all right staple IPA.

Pours a rich copper color with think frothy head. Aroma is of citrus and floral hops. Nothing really strong or forthcoming in the aroma, but it’s an IPA aroma nonetheless. Taste is floral and piney hops with a nice malt backbone. Palate is a bit astringent but it’s overall enjoyable and easy to knock back.

12oz bottle. Pours hazy burnt orange with white head. Aroma is floral hops, citrus, pine and some malt. Flavor is hops, citurs and some caramel malts. Finishes dry and bitter with thick mouthfeel. Not a bad IPA but nothing great either. A nice brew to enjoy on a hot summer day.
