Dangerously drinkable. Aromas consist of resiny pine hops. Good malt backbone. Light fluffy white head. Good stuff.

Pours golden orange with a small white head. Nose is citrus, tropical fruit, caramel and light pine. The taste is med sweet and medium bitter until the finish where bitter dominates. The texture is crisp and clean, body is medium and finish is long.

Appearance: Deep Gold with a cream colored head.
Aroma: Grapefruit and pine resin.
Flavor: Malt then citrus, then alcohol then back to malt and citrus.
Palate: Full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: A nice malty IPA. I enjoy having a well hopped beer that is more than just a hop bomb.

Bottle - Pours clear light amber with a foamy white head. Nose is caramel sweet malt and muted pine hops. Smells old. Tons of sweet honey malt in the taste, with muted pine hops and a long malty finish. Medium body with nice carbonation. A real disappointment.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12oz bottle. Poured a light amber color with a fingers worth of an off-white head that left great lacing. The aroma was of citrus, pineapple and mango. The taste centered more around the pineapple and citrus, but had a good deal of sweetness that balanced the beer very well.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at Good, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of citrus hops, tropical fruits, and syrupy malts. Flavour of oranges, citrus hops, and some dry caramel malts. Decent IPA.

Without dates on the bottles, it's a bit like Russian roulette if your going to get a reasonably fresh hoppy bottle or a tired, tropical, malty bottle... With that said, like Racer 5, a great go to West Coast style IPA. I think Racer 5 has a bit better mouthfeel, though for a readily available IPA, no complaints..
