A big IBU. A tad of age in the aroma, and off flavour in the finish, yet still a good IPA. Very drinkable. Big bubbly head on golden body.
Mike’s bottle from SF.

Mostly clear golden colour with a lively head. Muted aroma but sports a hoppy pine cone profile and exotic peach note. Hoppy taste profile, almost medium bodied but lacks any real finish or jump. filtered, reduced, no malts. i’m not as impressed as I should have been.

4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Sampled at GABF 2012. Pours a hazy orange body with thick white head and lots of lacing. Aroma is super fresh pine and a tropical burst of citrus. Mouthfeel is medium, nicely carbonated and balanced with notes of tropical fruits, grapefruit, pine, light dank herbal flavor and a muted, dry floral finish.
