draft. decent ipa just not memorable. didn’t seem like it was at 75 IBU’s either....seemed a little flat on the hop bitterness. I’d drink again but probably won’t buy again.

reebtogi (1575) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - DEC 28, 2011

650ml bottle pours a golden orangeish color with a finger of white head that settled to some decent lacing. Aroma is big citrus with some earthy woody notes and a touch of caramel. Taste is light caramel malty sweetness with a modest citrus and earthy bitter finish. Pleasing amount of carbonation and a light to medium body feels nice enough on the tongue. A pretty decent IPA from a pretty decent brewery. Cheers!!!

notalush (3617) - Denver, Colorado, USA - DEC 17, 2011

Tap at Hopworks - a medium-bodied, dry, crisp IPA, with a fair amount of peppery and woody hops - just enough malt character to serve as a base for this - finish is dry and spicy - a solid IPA.

From sampler at brewery. Amber in color, hard to tell the head in such a tiny glass but the smell is good. Pine citrus and floral. Very solid IPA

HerbieHomebrew (3) - Riverside, California, USA - NOV 24, 2011 does not count

Decent nose, pours a decent head that hangs around. Pretty good hop characteristics. Taste has decent amount of bitterness. Overall, not to bad.

Lagerboy (293) - British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 14, 2011

IPA Taste Day Round Three: Hazy amber with a thin tan head. Citrus fruit and pine hop aroma and taste. Lighter hopped, more balanced. The lager malts make this brew more friendly for the adventurous Lagerboy.

BK7 (223) - Turner, Oregon, USA - NOV 10, 2011

Bomber and on tap. Hoppy with a lot of citrus flavors. Solid malt flavor in the background. A smooth drinker. Not enough of a bitter finish.

Savvy1982 (1320) - Lethbridge, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 25, 2011

Bottle, pours moderately cloudy orange/gold, thin, quickly dissipated off-white head, lacing is above-average, if a bit spotty. Nose is grapefruit, bright mandarin, very piney, some ashy cream and soap. Flavours of soap, citrus, very nicely balanced, again a bit dusty/chalky/creamy, lightly spicy, somewhat juicy. Solid.
