Very carbonated to the point of fizzy. Not very malty and has limited mouthfeel. Pedestrian IPA with limited character. Good session beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

My first IPA, not sure why it was my #2900 rating. lighter copper pour. Lighter floral hop aroma, English hops. Mild to medium bitterness, English styled IPA. Some sweeter malts to balance. OK

On tap. Hoppy flavor, on the piney side. Rather bitter, not very pleasant though. Below average IPA.

Impressive nose, very floral, pine, wet hops, and cedar. The flavor does not quite live up to its nose. Lighter bodied, a sweet malty backbone, caramel, pine resin, low bitterness. More of a pale ale than an IPA. Crisp and refreshing.

This was a decent ipa, but not great. I expected more hopmaroma and flavor, but didn’t seem to find it.

Aroma of.mild.citrus and bread. Pours hazy but bright yellow. Tastes of pure bread and yeast grapefruit but almost no hops whatsoever. I expected better.

On draft at bj’s Brewhouse. Pours a copper color with a medium off white head. The aromas are bread and Cyrus with no pine or grass. Weird. The mouthfeel is watery and bready with a medium body. Very disappointing. This was more like a bad pale ale. Cheers!

Slightly orangish yellow pour, deliciously sweet floral rosy smell. Very smooth and drinkable with a slightly sweet taste. Good hop flavor great smell but not a super hoppy beer, not too dry, fairly clean palate with maltiness throughout the beer. I like it but it is not as typical an ipa as most west coasts hop beasts. Nice floral notes with a touch of herbs underneath. A little thin on the palate but not in a way that hurts the beer. Very sessionable.
