doesn’t seem so american..more english in sensibility. There is very little aroma...only grassy dry earth lightly floral hints. The taste is immediately bitter which lingers with the sticky residual sugars though it seems dry and biscuity between. There is an astringency in there that is nice. Still it is fresh and has nice overall body and arc that works. Very drinkable

The pour is a hazy light copper with a finger of light beige head with decent lacing. Nose is as malty as hoppy, with biscuity and caramel notes Predominant citrusy and herbal hops with some other light fruits. Taste is quite sweet, with a mild hop bitter finish. Not much an IPA overall, but very drinkable.

22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a small beige head. The aroma is dry and biscuity with a mild level of sweetness. A slight floral quality comes through as well. The flavor is more dry biscuity malt, a splash of honey and caramel with some grassy hops. Where are the flavoring hops? This is pretty weak overall.

Golden bronze pour. Nice malty hop aroma. A taste of earth, grass and pine with a grainy resin dry finish. Nice odd brew.

Draft at RnH for Rogue Night. This beer was really chemical cleaner -tasting. Very hard to finish, but we did. When chugging there are aactually some honey notes that come through.

Hopefully this brew isn’t too old.. oh well - it will surely still taste good. When, if ever, do I have access to a fresh IPA? Poured out a wonderfully clear bright amber brew with a foamy tan head that sizzled down to a ring. Sounds like pop rocks. Sweet aroma fills my glass along with some mysterious spice that has to be associated with the hops. I think the fragrance of some crazy ass thing my wife is cooking is f’ing with my nose. Peach fuzz, melon, something tropical - maybe mango? or papaya? been a long time since I’ve had either so I’m not sure, a bit of bread crusts and biscuit and more different, unique aroma. Not what is expected for aroma but a welcome change up from the standard. Massively drinkable without any punch you in the face flavours. Light mint or something (sort of but not really), dull malts along the bready line, weak pine, lemon, spice, tropical stuff, interesting all around. Leave a bit of spice in my mouth along with a good pile of bitterness which I know has mellowed out considerably, light citrus tangs hit here and there. Malty finish. Well carbonated with a unmemorable mouth feel. Interesting brew that I wish I had fresher.
