Horrendously overbalanced, tasting of nothing but grapefruit and pine trees. If there is malt in here, I cannot find it.

6-pack with Chipman during the blizzard of 08’. Nice amber pour with a cirus and pine nose. This guy is all hops and balanced well. Great deal at the price point. I am not an IPA guy but i would get this the next time friends come round.

Pours a clear amber, slightly small head. Nice citrus pine aroma, sweet caramel malt. A bit of fruit at the end also. Nice balanced flavor.

12 ozer from a mixed sampler. Poured a slightly hazy gold color with a one finger white head. Aroma was caramel malt and piney hops. Lacing was minimal. Flavor was more of the earthy hop, though not too overpower. Body was somewhat light for an IPA these days. Very refreshing. I really was impressed with this beer.

on tap - pours an orange amber with a medium white head. aroma - caramel malt, citrus, and spice. flavor - very citrusy and blends very well with the floral hop profile. it is very florally hopped and the finish lingers on and on. slight bitterness at the end, but there is no definitive bitter, bitey finish. very nice slighty chewy mouthfeel. very easy drinking ipa, but very respectable none-the less. loveeeee this beer!
