Commercial Description:
It's not as heavy bodied and malty as many IPA's, in contrast the palate is more crisp and dry. If you consider yourself a "hop-head" you owe it to yourself to grab this beer.

12 oz bottle: poured cloudy orange with a medium off white head. Lots of yeast floating at the bottom of this one. Big caramel malt aroma with lots of hops sticking out. Flavor is much the same with lots of caramel and hops. Light sweetness initially and a pretty big blast of hop bitterness in the finish. Moderately dry. Good.

Bottle from Fly. Thanks, man!
Pours a thick, cloudy, inviting cheddar orange with a delicious aroma of melon-infused grapefruit. Notes of peach nuts dropped in pine tar are noticeable in the background. Flavor is grapefruit adopted by a family of roasted nuts soaked in cereal. Nice, thick mouthfeel. Pretty good stuff.

Hops Hops Hops - Love it! Nice flavor - crispy - outdoors and piney. Mouthfeel is perfect for me - nice carbonation - aftertaste stays with ya. In my books- this is a very good IPA

draft in Deetwah City. Yum. Did I say yum? Very well balanced hops profile. Some IPAs scream aspirin. This is a beer that has no flaws and just plain nails an IPA style. Not too biter, not at all boring. Good aroma, nice lacing.

Golden, cloudy, with white head. Grass, grapefruit / citrus aroma notes. Citrus, grass, grapefruit, and spice flavours. Dry, medium bitter finish.
