Pours dark orange with a yellowish head. Poured with heavy carbonation. Aroma is of hops, slight citrus hints, and malt. The carbonation leaves the beer with a very creamy mouthfeel. Taste is of malts and banana, balanced by bitter hops. The sharp bitterness lingers on long after each sip.

Very solid, quaffable IPA, a great introduction to microbrews. Pours beautifully.

12oz bottle. Brown-amber color. Brewery wort and fresh hop aroma. Full bodied, classic West Coast IPA characteristics. Floral and bitter hop characteristics, well balanced by a nice malt backbone. Incorporates a little more dryness and fruity characteristics than most WIPAs, a very nice beer.

Bitter hop aroma with a good malt backbone. Amber brown in color with a white head. Bitter floral hop flavor with a lasting finish.

12 oz. bottle in trade from douglas88- many thanks! Served in shaker- poured a transparent brownish amber, low carbonation, 3mm white head formed and tried to lace. Hearty aroma of pine, grapefruit, and floral hops everywhere. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt has been slightly roasted, bitterness in the middle followed by an acidic finish. Slightly different take on the style, but still very enjoyable.

Dark in color for an IPA. Medium head. Tastes of roasted malt. The bitterness is slightly different tasting.
