Hazy deep blond color; small head. Some aroma of malt, caramel, crystal malt. Common malt and toffee flavor, with quite strong bitterness, some hop resins.
An entry level for IPAs, not bad, but without fresh characteristics.

2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Small beige head atop a clear amber body. Aroma is mild sweet, grapefruit, some pine and bread. Taste is pine and some grapefruit, no sweetness. Medium body. In the absence of some malty flavors, I need at least some sweetness to balance out the hops, and this beer just doesn’t have that.

Aroma of citrus and resin. Deep, but cloudy, apricot color. Bits afloat. A slight metallic tang, but transitions to grapefruit and hop. Flavor of citrus, malt and evergreen. Swishing brings forth chewy sweetness, balanced by the bitterness. Finish tends toward grapefruit fibre. Quite nice.
