Tap. Golden with ample white head and decent lacing. Smells like cotton candy and tart apple. Probably shouldn’t have rated this after drinking a DIPA. Tastes sweet with a light dry finish and a touch of popcorn.

TEJA (707) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - FEB 10, 2012
Long lasting white head. Really yellow color. Spicy hop aroma with some citrus. Really nice balance with the bitterness and the caramell sweetness. A very good american IPA that have what you want in an IPA and dont ad an excess .

Bottle. Faint aroma. Medium amber color. Slightly floral, caramel and hop aroma and flavors. Slightly floral finish. One of the best available bottled domestic microbeers. Add a half point for the draft version. Would definitely buy again.

12 oz. bottle. Aroma is surprisingly hoppy, and has a decent citrus character. Taste again has a ton of hops up front and a slight caramel, and even roasty backbone. This is a great IPA for a supermarket pickup.

UPDATED: FEB 7, 2012 Bottle; decent flavor but not full of character like an ipa should be. Paired with beef roast very well.

Malty_MacHops (85) - Eastanollee, Georgia, USA - JAN 28, 2012
Ok, not great. The aroma is citrus hops right up front. The beer pours a straw to copper color with a quickly falling white head. The flavor is strongly hoppy, mostly on the citrus side with a very bitter finish. The beer feels somewhat thin, but carries a nice bite with each sip.
