A bit more of an light orange pour from my batch in comparison to the golds, honey and coppers mentioned by other reviewers. Long lasting head with sediment coming to rest at the bottom of the glass after swirling for a few seconds. Roasted malt and hops in the nose, and a very present evergreenish, citrusy palate. Very nice mouthfeel and got a little better as it warmed. Very flavorful, even for the style.

Strong pale roasted hop aroma, clear bronze color, mild lace. Citrus hop taste. Appears stronger in alcohol than is. More hop.

One of my favorite IPA's if not beers in general. Light and refreshing. Taste of grapefruit, and very crisp and hoppy. Good color and head and excellent lacing. Easy to find, and at 6% abv. makes for a great session brew. A great IPA. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a very light clear amber with medium head. Exactly what it IPA should look like. Nice pine and citrus aroma. Very good balance love the Simcoe hops. One of my favorites. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

DeliveryDriver (128) - Illinois, USA - JUN 2, 2013
Pours a bright golden color with a decent amount of carbonation and a big, white head that leaves a lot of lacing. Strong grapefruit presence was there right when I opened the bottle, and maybe some orange and various tropical fruits are added when I gave it a good whiff. Very fruity and hoppy on the tongue, with no noticeable malt flavors coming through. Light to medium bodied, with not too much bitterness to keep this one from not being sessionable. One dimension to this one, but a very good session beer for hop heads.

Good beer but if you’re going to buy this, spring for the 90 It’s clearly superior in every way.
