Pleasant aroma with not a lot of hops on the nose, Light amber color is nice and mirrors the taste which is solid. Not overwhelming amounts of hops as you’d expect with most IPAs. Nicely drinkable. Good for summer evenings.

Bright orange with a nice, white foam that takes some time to dissipate. Sweetish grapefruit hops. Big and bright. Crisp and aromatic. Cascade hops all over this. A good, whole tongue dryness.It repeats deliciously and the tingly little carbonation carries the dryness right back. Not a bad beer at all. In fact it is a lovely, if typical, US IPA.

Tap @ Plough and Stars... Poured faint orange with a thick white head. Aroma of faint grains, very bready. Overly dry palate and not enough bitterness to balance it. Big malts, very lagarish in profile -- not hoppy or aggressive enough. Sweet grains in the finish,

Bottle. Light amber color with a small white head. Sweet, citrusy smell with some subtle flowery hops. Some grapefruit and pine in the flavor but like most others have said its a little flat and thin. Just a very average IPA at best.

Looks like a lager when poured. Insipid nose and taste. Give this one a miss.

Bottle. Pours a yellow gold color with a large white head. Aroma isn’t much, the taste is very subtle malts, mainly floral hops. Palate is a little thin and not nearly as sweet as other IPAs. A thinner, hoppy IPA. . .

Served in a shaker (from bottle) at Austin Flying Saucer. No remarkable aroma. Pours golden with one finger/one minute head. The malt overpowers the hops: I re-read the label... Carbonation is very light. Overall, a thoroughly unremarkable beer and a questionable IPA.

Smells like an annual flower...My best guess at the moment being geraniums. pretty low key on the flavor, somewhat floral but that’s about it.Pours orange, mediocre head. Just not that exciting.
