Draft 16 oz. Pint Glass it is a hazy dull copper with a nice tight head that fades to a light lacing of lingering off white foam. The aroma is pine, citrus and dare I say skunk not light struck but a resiny sinsimilla type odor. The taste is sweet caramel malt until the explosion of hops does a palette overload and gives it an astringent dry finish. This is hop juice and not for non-hopheads, the intense hoppiness fills your mouth and really overwhelms the malt. The body is thick and almost chewy. It’s a very drinkable Double IPA, which is sure to please any hop lover

Punchy! Nice citrusy nose on this one that follows up well with bitter hops and a velvety mouthfeel. A little caramel on the back end as well. Nicely done IPA.

On draft in tulip at brewery Aroma: floral and peaches. Appearance: light copper color with 2 finger frothy head. He's faded quickly Taste: very hoppy. Sweet at first follow by bitter. But balanced well palate: Light crisp and refreshing. Very thin but pleasing. Overall: very good ipa. Lots of hops. I like it but would prefer a bit more sweetness ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap -> Growler -> English Pint glass. Celebrating the July 27th birthday of Papa Larry and the Aug. 10th birthday of mine with the folks, the sibling & his family, and my family. Pours a dark apricot amber, with a slight haze, and lt. brown head. Smells of hops, but not as hoppy as would be expected by the C3. Very balanced hops, grass, and citrus. Tastes the same, plus "something sweet." Great beer with some funk and presents. As James Brown said, "I feel nice."
