This has a very nice grapefruit aroma. First sip is just a tad fruity but it has a very bitter aftertaste. Overall pretty good stuff.

Um is this beer from Oklahoma!?!?! Seriously!? If you are someone from out of town, trust me this beer is not rated high only because its local it is absolutely amazing. A- Deep golden color nice floral head. S- Pine Trees blowing in the wind! Love it! Hops come through in bouquets of aromas. Floral hints spread throughout. T- Fresh as can be! The hops are so balanced by the malt. Not heavy just smooth and wonderful. Alcohol is present, but very well hidden. M- Covers the palate wonderfully. Bitterness is balanced out. goes down smooth and easily. light on the tongue. D- WOW! Why don’t I have this for sale in my store yet?! Can or bottle this please so I can have one every night. I always say that once you have had an F5 your mouth will never forget. Truly an amazing beer and its an IPA! Thanks COOP for this bad boy!

UPDATED: OCT 28, 2012 Draft at McNellie’s in Tulsa. I had heard good things about this beer prior to my trip so I was happy to see it on tap. Golden color; served with a decent white head that laced pretty well. Very aromatic, floral, hoppy. Lots of citrusy hop flavors here with orange and pineapple coming to mind. It definitely has a tropical fruit thing going on, which I like. Overall a bit herbal. Going down it’s crisp, clean, and bitter, with a lengthy dry finish. The malt supports but doesn’t get in the way. Very tasty stuff. If the COOP bottles/cans I am bringing back with me are anywhere close to this good then I will be very happy.

Beer pours lightly cloudy golden with an egg white head. Aroma is intensely citrus grapefruit and grass. Taste is extremely bitter and I love it!!’.

Pours a clear orange. Moderate white head with good retention and lacing. Beautiful aroma of pine, citrus and pineapple. Flavor is caramel malt and grassy hops. Nice bitter bite in the back of the throat. Medium mouthfeel and slightly fizzy. Not a hop bomb if that’s your thing, but a very nice flavorful IPA.

Orange pour with creamy white head and lace. Aroma is large citrus hops and caramel malt. Sweet malt, bready, nice hard citrus bitter. Medium body with good carbonation. Very nice beer well balanced. Just a hinto something different I could not put a finger on but still nice.

A - An orange coppery color with a slight haze. An excellent 1 inch head. Excellent retention. Beautiful patterns of white lacing. S - Floral earthy hops dominate, bright lemon zest, hints of pine. T - As the nose describes...Huge dry potpourri hops attack. There’s an astringency with the flowery spicy hops. Lemon, grapefruit rind, and tropical fruit come out as it warms. The weak malt strives to show it’s face but is overcome by the hops. M - Firm carbonation, medium bodied, finishes crisp and bitter. Lots going on. This one is all about the hops. The best IPA to come out of OK so far. Serving type: on-tap 08-22-2010

Had it off of a tap, poured a clear amber color and a sweet floral aroma with a light head. The taste has a subtly smooth IPA a flavor, i.e. hoppy. Tasty.

On tap at TapWerks OKC. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head that lasts awhile. The aroma is a floral hop and grapefruit. Medium mouthfeel with a bitter hop bite upfront and a nice smooth citrus finish, really enjoyed this IPA from Coop.

Foggy amber color/ rich beige head. Big ass fresh floral, pine, grassy hop aromas. medium bodied with soft co2. Nicely bitter sweet flavors of flora, pine sap, grassy hops, on a solid sweet caramel malty base, spicy drying finish with mild alcohol, great IPA.
