Very drinkable. Citrus hops in the aroma, well balanced and refreshing. Taste matches the aroma.

On tap 5 oz. sample at the District Chophouse & Brewer in downtown Washington, DC. Clear, medium amber with an off-white head and very good lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, caramel and mild floral hops. Taste of grapefruit, herbal hops and caramel. Medium body and medium carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draught at brewpub. Hazy gold. Aroma is citrus. Taste is citrus over hops. Not remarkable or complex, but very very drinkable.

yespr (25932) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - JUL 24, 2012
From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is crisp hops fruity, citrusy and grapefruity. Pine, grapefruit and dry malty base. Rather bitter and dry, yet with a light refreshing grapefruity note. Bitter and fruity into the far finish.

tomciccateri (885) - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - JUN 25, 2012
On draught at brewpub. Pours a very dense dark gold color. Thick foamy white head. Nice hop aroma. Medium body. Initial hop bitterness. Big hop flavor dominates any malt character. All hops finish. Labeled an Americal Style IPA, certainly hop forward, but a bit one-dimential. Otherwise nice and drinkable.

Travlr (7975) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - DEC 26, 2011
Draft at the source. Hazy golden color, small white head. Aroma of pine, grass, light cotrus. Taste is similar, with moderate smooth bitterness. Nice.

Block (1039) - Indianapolis, Indiana, USA - SEP 6, 2011
This beer is as good as their Amber Ale. Nice hops flavor and a higher alcohol content. Pretty average but still good. If you want hops and alcohol get the IPA, if you want a little more flavor get the Amber Ale.

DiarmaidBHK (2272) - Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 3, 2011
Pours golden from tap with a thin white head. Nice floral aroma on the nose but it doesnt transfer to the tongue. Finish is clean.

pinkzambia (1294) - Boise, Idaho, USA - APR 28, 2011
Tap @ Brew Pub: Cloudy golden color with a white head. Mild aromas of junipers with a sweet hop flavor and a mildly bitter aftertaste. Nothing in this brew screams out "I am great." However, if you want an IPA at this place, this is all they have and it will do.
