Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Poured a hazy orange with a near white head that dissipated to the edges and laced nicely. Aroma was full of citrus with some light flora, sweet grains and an odd green apple note. Same green apple note was present with the citrus and sweet grains and it threw the beer off...

Hmm. A mild, thin IPA. The hazy orange pour and the grassy floral aroma trickced me into thinking this would have more kick. The taste was mild hop, ornage peel and caramel malts. It was decent brew , but a little thin for my taste. I like my IPA’s bold and with charecter.

Not a great IPA I have had much better the hops were not as intense as I would have liked to have and it didn’t have much definition an average offering

Growler. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of citrus, resiny, grassy, caramel. Tastes bitter and resiny with a grassy finish. Decent.

on tap-pours an offwhite head with hazy copper-amber color. Aroma is hops-fruity, floral. Taste is a somewhat biting/tangy hops, secondary caramel malt. Finish is bitter hops.

Bottle (purchased at brewery). Musty aroma with a weird fruitiness. Floral and basement mold-like aroma. Mildly hazy copper-amber color with a frothy off-white head. Weird musty, perfumey start and underlying flavor throughout. Finishes nice and roasty and toasted with malts. Some bitter hops are also present in the end. The funky musty flavor really kills this beer. Tastes like a combination of wet-dog and dirty stagnant dishwater. Drain pour. **Side Note* My sink still has this aroma the next morning despite rinsing it down the sink with copious amounts of water the night before. Thank god for Lestoil.
