Poured a slightly hazy honey color with a thin white head. Quite hoppy aroma with some syrupy notes. Taste is hoppy with some syrup. Some fruit and hay. Overall not that special.

Nice, yeasty IPA. Nice buttery tones, with floral and grassy aroma. Pours cloudy and golden. Good amount of head and well-carbonated. Overall, I liked it a lot - it stood up to a pretty spicy BBQ dish.

Bomber. Haven’t had an abundance of english style IPA’s such as this. Good not great. In comparison to a traditional Northwest IPA style.....doesn’t match up.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
22oz bottle, unknown date...code 111107041. April 20th? Nov 11th? Probably the former. Served at around 45F.
Pours hazy golden amber with a large foamy white head that leaves tons of lacing and holds a small cap.
Aroma of apricot, orange, grapefruit and some pineapple, soapy, a bit floral and grassy, a hint of pine, some bready malt as well. Good strength.
Flavor is apricot, citrusy orange, lemon and grapefruit, some pineapple, resinous hops, caramel and bready malt make up the middle offering some sweetness to balance against the moderate bitterness on the finish. Minimal alcohol.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, oily, good carbonation.
A solid IPA but it may be a bit dated, wish I knew for sure. If it’s fresh, it’s a bit of a let-down, if 8 months old, it has held up rather well. Regardless, it is an enjoyable brew and one I’m glad to have had the chance to try.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured a very cloudy yellow with a finger’s worth of head. Aroma has a good bit of pine with just a bit of sweetness. Taste is an unbalanced amount of citrus hops, with some sweet malts that are mostly overpowered. Finish is mostly bitter and not much else.

The aroma is caramel, vegetable, toasted, floral. The color is amber, white head. The flavor is toasted, caramel, more floral. The finish is a perfumy floral. Medium in body. Not bad, but doesn’t excel either.

Bottle picked up at stateline. Kind of a funky aroma... cant put my finger on it. Fruity, grass with some light bittering hops. Bright orange in color. Just an ok head. Flavor is ehhh... Mild, english IPA wont "wow" you but its decent. Light hops, grass some fruityness... Medium body, easy to drink. Overall... ehhhh
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Orange, a bit hazy, and a big IPA with well-matched abv, but pretty good in its control and balance. Decent beer. (on tap at brewpub)
