Bottle. Pours tawny orange with foamy white head. Full floral aroma, citrus, especially orange notes. Medium body, all over the tongue flavour with seville orange and tangerine. Lasting hop finish.

Bottle. Pours dark orange / amber with a small amount of white head. Nice orangy fresh citrus hop aroma, some hop resins come through also. Solid malt presence in the flavor with light citrus and substantial pine / resinous hop bite. The resin lingers, in almost a bad way, and this might actually be the most bitter regular IPA that I have had. The finish is almost like biting into an orange rind.

Solid IPA from El Toro. A big hop bomb coming in at 6.5%. Firm dank nose with floral notes and grapefruit. Citrus doesn’t last too long, quickly covered up by the rush of hop buds being washed down the pipes. This is a bitter-ass beer! I like it though.

Very rich and hoppy with a fresh & fruity aroma. Just about everything I look for in a good IPA. Has that tart and bitter finish I love.

Bottle from BevMo online. Brew 1202. Slightly hazy amber/golden color upon pouring. Super hoppy, sticky skunk bud aroma. Super hoppy flavors with a hint of sweetness. A bit of a malt. Finished if with a dry citrus peel bitterness. Extremely bitter.

Bottle from Richard (Irishboy) Thanks! Pours out a dark orange color with a whitish colored head. Smell is mostly hops, with some grapefruits and pines coming though. A little spicy smelling too. Taste is much the same, with a nice balance to it, making it very drinkable, and very refreshing. A pretty good IPA, as most from the west coast are.

Increadible floral and fruity nose. Cascade hops and malts provide good balance. Not real hoppy but refreshing.

This was a great IPA. Plenty of hops all over the place- in the nose, on the palate, after the swallow, this is what I think of when I think IPA. Decent head, deep amber color, a bit hazy. Everything is balanced just right, the hops have just enough malt and alcohol to back them up and smooth this beer out. I’ll have to keep an eye open for this one.

pours a dark orange with a nice creamy white head.as the head disapeares it leaves nice webbing on the glass.it carries the usual citrus/pine hop aroma.very nice and drinkable with much of the same taste as the aroma.plus a bit of orange cream in the flavor as well.very good stuff i must say.

Poured a orange color with an averaged sized, slightly off white head. Aromas of citrus oranges, grapefruit and pine. Tastes of pine, grapefruit and caramel. Has a nice caramel sweet balance to the medium bitter finish. Well done.
