Clear rich orangy light gold with a thin dense offwhite head. Lightly sweet, slightly toasty to faintly chocolate in the otherwise pale malt. Floral hops, not overwhelming, balanced. A bit fizzy, but very drinkable, not watery, but not thick. Quenching. Crisp refreshing peppery hop profile with subdued, slightly fruity, slightly toasty malt. Dry citrusy to soapy hop finish. A bit acidic ? w/ perhaps too much toast, but nice enough to drink.

Light bronze amber, actually rather fizzy. Aroma quite inviting, with pine and citric hops over a nice roasty malt note. Caramel malts with balancing citric and pine hops, bit of an earthiness on the roast finish. Quite enjoyable. Thanks to Secret Santa crizay!

Good well balanced ipa. Sweetish but balanced with a nice portion of hops. Rich enough but not overdone. A very easy to drink ipa.

dark yellow, thin head, nice fresh hop aroma with a touch of sweetness, nice hop flavor leading to a long bitter finish, enough body and sweetness to keep it well balanced,

amber, big earthy hop aroma, lots of bitter hop flavor on a light malt base with just a hint of balancing sweetness, best fresh

From a 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Very strange aroma and flavor that I can’t put my finger on. Maybe bready. Other than that, I smell and taste citrus hops. Mild bitterness.
