Deep hard amber/orange pour with gooey head and lace. An evergreen hops aroma. Solid malt with a medium/hard bitter. Creamy full bodied. Very nice balance solid bitter make this an all round good beer.

Draft sampler at brewpub. aroma of pine/hops/citrus, medium brown color, pleasant hoppy taste. Not bad at all.

Draft. Amber in color. Citrusy hop aroma. Good hop flavor and bitterness. Good IPA

Pours a deep amber with a huge white head. Huge hop nose, strong floral and citrus. Taste is strong hops, slight raw hop, citrus with balanced pine. Finish is strong but smooth. Very nice.

Served with a sheet-lacing ecru head over a deep yet clear copper body. Soapy florals above pepper in the aroma carry through to the flavor. I enjoyed it despite my scant notes.

Nose of fruit, flowers, and pine. The brew is clear copper with ruby highlights. The white creamy head is mostly lasting & leaves good lace. Bitter and burnt flavor with a heavy citrus presence and a long finish. The full body is dry and soft. Very nice indeed.

Sample at the Elevator. Nice reddish/copper tint. Nice medium head, good lacing. Bitter hops flavor but lots of malt as well. Decent beer.

Copper color with a small beige head. Mild hop aroma. Nice bitter hoppy flavor. Not citrus or floral more of an English hoppiness.

Draft at the brewpub: Shiny copper. Sweet and tart together at once. A starker version of their pale ale. Almost baked apple sourness at the end. Livens up a bit as it warms, as the moldiness settles into a bit more of a fruity bite.

Mild hop aroma from this medium brown/red beer. Some decent hops in the taste. Finish is a bit sour for me.
