12 oz bottle from BlindEyedBetty, who sent this to me for no good damn reason, aside from the fact that she kicks ass! Clear amber with an off white head. Orange and caramel nose, pretty simple. Nice spiderweb lace. Rather tannic flavor, spicy orange, some grass. Not a bad drinker.

12 oz. bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Clear red-orange pour with a small but persistent head and speckled lacing. Sweet malty and grainy aroma with a floral hop note. Citrus hop taste with grain, apple, and nuts. Medium body. With it’s big malts and mild hops, it remains fairly well balanced, but does not live up to its name.

12 oz. bottle pours a bright coppery amber with moderate amount of large off white head. Aroma is of a slightly floral hoppiness. Front palate is of malt and wheat with an increasing flavor of hops mid palate and a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Easy enough to drink and nice on a hot day (today is 100 in the shade!) after the pool. Great with grilled burgers and fresh salsa.

this was a nice IPA for me. Not too overwhelming with the hops. Smooth and delicous. The pour was medium orange, no sediment, nice lacing. It was a really nice beer to drink.

For a beer that calls itself Hop-ocalypse, this is not a very hoppy beer. In fact there is not a lot of flavor to this brew in general.

not too much to this beer, the hop factor is weak and unappealing. not much to drink. I cant recommend this.
