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.

12 oz bottle. Pours deep copper with thin, tight khaki head. The aroma is freshly mown lawn, cotton candy, caramel, and citrus. The flavor is iced tea, grapefruit, and ample bitterness. It’s piney and herbal toward the finish. Decent, but it really needs more hop flavor (not just disembodied bitterness).

Bottle. Average head with off-white color. Fair lacing and amber color. Hints of caramel, wood, and heavy lime. Medium body and oily texture with bitter finish. The smell was very hoppy, the taste not so much.

Courtesy of GMCC2181. 12oz bottle pours a clear copper with tan head. The aroma starts with an initial grapefruit note and then moving into a region of mild pine hops and sweet to faintly roasty malts. The taste greets you with a warm embrace of moderate strength grapefruit hop bitterness. I also get a faint butterscotch note that enhances the experience. It ends with lingering grapefruit hop bitterness, mild roasty malts and faint caramel butter.

Firkin @ DuClaw Real Ale Festival. Called EKG due to the fact that it was the same recipe but they used East Kent Goldings to hop the cask. Medium golden color. Herbal hop aroma. Low hop bitterness with initial taste. Nice twist on the IPA.

Bottle courtesy of beachbum25. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of citrus, some earthy hints. Tastes peppery with some earthy hints and some mild bitterness on the finish. Decent.
