jbruner (1125) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAY 6, 2013
Pours a clear golden orange on tap with thin cap of white lace that sticks lightly. Aroma is light, but nice piney citrus from the hops. Taste is medium bodied pale malt worth a hint of cascade hops. Nothing good, but really easy to drink.

fluffy (800) - St Petersburg, Florida, USA - MAY 1, 2013
A pretty bland entry in the IPA market. Probably good for people not familiar with the style. But not good for much of anything else. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Rrauth (637) - North Carolina, USA - APR 27, 2013
Bottle. Nice looks. Clear dark yellow. Laces well. Body is much thicker creamier than I'm used too. Bet it's the water down here. Not a bad beer to start off at 11 am. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

b3shine (2244) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - APR 26, 2013
Bottle to half-pint glass (shared with the Mrs.; thanks burg326). Looks solid; a transparent orange with thin off-white lacing. Smells and tastes of Cascade hops (although the taste is more pronounced) with a light, sweet backbone. Average on the palate. An easy-drinking IPA.

Garbageman (354) - Lexington, South Carolina, USA - APR 4, 2013
From bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a decent head. Aroma was mild for an IPA with citrus hops and malt tones. Taste follows with a bitter bite and a slight metallic aftertaste.

Godofthecellar (278) - NYC, New York, USA - MAR 19, 2013
bottle at grand vista marriott, orlando florida. Right from the gift shop, thanks marriott for my $30 day food voucher, went to dcent use drank straight from the 12 oz bottle. not sure about the color but the scent was hoppy citrus, while the taste had both malt and hop. Didnt get much citrus, however it was a very refreshing IPA after a long day of chasing an 18 month old around magic kingdom

jcartamdg (1144) - Spring Hill, Florida, USA - FEB 2, 2013
Pores and Amber orange with a thick white head. aroma of citrus and pine. taste is overly sweet and malty not a strong hot profile, quite muddled. not my favorite IPA but not awful ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

mile (2113) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JAN 9, 2013
Bottle. Dark golden, average and fully diminishing head. Moderate, malty and lightly sweetish aroma, some caramel and light fruitiness, light citrus and grapefruit hoppyness. Body is light to medium, malty and lightly sweetish flavor, some caramel and light fruitiness, light citrus and grapefruit hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, light caramel, some citrus and grapefruit hoppyness. Bit thin-bodied and sweetish IPA with caramel - could use more bitterness (and more body).

GandGKevin (842) - Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA - JAN 1, 2013
Light citrus hop aromas. Citrus and tea flavors. A little lingering hop presence on palate. Overall an average IPA.

KajII (705) - Macon, North Carolina, USA - SEP 18, 2012
Bottle. The pour was a clear medium amber with an average (1-2 finger) off white rocky head that lasted for a short while, reducing to a few puddles and large collar which produced good sticky lacing. The aroma was of a light grain malt, floral hops and a light soapy yeast with notes of caramel and citrus (orange). The taste was lightly sweet with a big caramel presence, which lasted throughout. And then had a decent hoppy citrus peel bitterness which increased slightly towards the end. The flavor hung around for a decent time after the swallow with the mild bitterness fading slowly into the background, which allowed the slight sweetness to blend well with the hops. Mouthfeel was a little past light in body and mildly dry in texture with a medium carbonation. Overall a nice light, not overly hoppy IPA, with an awesome drinkability...
