On tap at the Gardner Ale House. Served in a pint glass. Pours a honey gold with a thin white head. Aroma is citrus and floral hops. Average in body with just enough carbonation to keep the tongue interested. Basic hop flavor with a bitter finish.

on tap @ GIBF, nice IPA, one of the last beer I had, so judgement might be little hazy, but very nice pine/citrus flavor, not overbearing.

On tap at brewpub. Not one of the better IPAs I have had but still an IPA and for that it is still OK in my book. Pours cloudy golden. Tastes a bit watery and not hoppy enough.
