4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20This is a solid pale ale with the appearance of hazy dark gold with a 1 finger white head. Aroma was incredible which hits you up front with orange zest and lemon followed by some buttering hops. Taste is a little more mellow on the orange zest and hits you more in the middle with lemon and grapefruit. On the finish you get a nice bitterness which lingers. Mouthfeel is nice and smooth with soft carbonation. Wish I could get this regularly.

12 oz can from Ed. Pours a pale brown with lots of particulates and a thin head. Very citrusy at first. Good hop flavors.

Can at home. Pours copper with small head and little lacing. Aroma is heavy pine with bits of citrus and grass. Taste is bitter with minimal malt backing. Lingering bitterness to finish. Nice beer.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Fresh can, cracked it open and instantly smelled hops, pine and grapefruit. First sip I thought it had a pretty medium body that holds a large amount of pine, grass, and citrus an spicy taste. Carbonation is just about right, but for some reason the beer was a little thick going down. Still a great ipa.

A - Pours an clear amber copper with a 1 finger off-white head. Minimal lacing.
S - Spicy green pine hops, caramel malt, anise
T - Tropical and citrus burst out of the gate, green spicy pine resin creeps in with a sugary crystal and caramel-like malt. Strawberries, lemon, pepper. The spice grows until after the finish.
M - Medium bodied, average carbonation, very dry.
This is a spicy herbal treat. I like the leafy greenness of he hops. Good malt bill as well. Alcohol shows up a tad but is mostly covered by the hops. This packs a punch with the hops.

Decent ipa, hoppy and fruity, a little too much sour grapefruit. And a lot of stuff floating around.

12oz can pours bright orange color with eggshell head..as it disappeas it leaves nice lacing all around the glass. the aroma is intense hop action full of citrus with some piney notes. medium malt backbone holds this beer together. the flavor is hops at it finest. strong and bitter citrus with malt. incredible..again wish we could buy this one here. i do get a bit of alcohol burn on the back end along with the bitterness...tingling on the tongue.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
My first Cigar City beer - have heard good things. Cold bottle, served in Tulip. Dark orange pour with no head. Nothing too exciting about this one though. Very watery with a background caramel flavour. Bit of rye and orange? Similar to Arrogant Bastard and Mikkeller Double Eye.
