I did not like IPA for a long time but have been easing in to them. This one is defiantly one of the better ones ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bytemesis (155) - Sunnyvale, California, USA - MAY 15, 2012
Tap. Pours pale amber, clear with a small off-white head that dissipates quickly with good lacing. Extremely citrus/grapefruit aroma, backed by a definite coffee smell. Taste is slightly sweet, with strong citrus notes and a bitter finish.

kryon (267) - SWEDEN - MAY 14, 2012
Pours amber with low frizzy head Aromas of caramel malts, wood, hoppyness of pineapple peach and some sweet tropical fruits Quite frizzy start which moves over to a malty and oaky palate. Low bitterness. Peach and honeylike taste is also there. I had expected more hoppyness and taste. Old bottle?

NikkTwist (172) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 9, 2012
Draft at Sugar Moms. Amber with a white lacey head. Poppy hop dry hop flavor. Above the middle of standard IPAs. Some fruity citrus notes but mostly a hop beer. Decent.

solidfunk (660) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 9, 2012
Pours with some suds that have a little staying power. Good tracing, golden colour. Pretty high carbonation. Follow through has a little fruitiness like tangerine or something. Bitter hops stay on the tongue after exhalation. A decent IPA but nothing out of the ordinary here in the complex factor. Bought a bottle from the craft your own sixer at Wegmna’s in Niagara.

rollinsr (159) - Atlanta, GEORGIA - MAY 5, 2012
Pours a clear light amber with a bit of almond frothy head. Aroma is mostly grapefruit hoppiness with some sweet character. Taste is very crisp, not nearly as bitter as I expected. Sweet malty backbone that finishes off with some light hop profile and then finishes with some nice carbonation that cleanses the palate well. Very drinkable and refreshing. Not your standard IPA.

Steve_0 (201) - Denver, Colorado, USA - APR 28, 2012
Poured gold with a white, one-finger head. Aroma is very earthy, dirt, light citrus, and spicy hops. Taste is very earthy hops, and a nice spicy/bitter finish. Palate is very nice, sticky and mouth coating, good lacing. Overall, a solid IPA, but my least favorite of all the DFH minute IPAs.
