3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Nicely balanced bitterness with no harsh or abrasive flavors, hops do not overpower the malt to the point of tasting like bitter water. Nice malt backbone with a very aromatic nose. Easy to drink IPA. Well done, impressive.

Pours clearer golden with a big creamy white head. Aroma is so delicious bringing sweet citrus big and juicy to the nose. Flavor is the same, big juicy citrus and zesty hops that never seem to bite. It is big and smooth, so nice as a single IPA.

On cask at Maloney’s. Dry and sweet thanks to the addition of locally grown honey. Nice mouthfeel.

Aroma is fantastic with brilliant grapefruit juice, orange zest, apricot and papaya. Just the tiniest hint of skunky weed. Pours bright orange (the bartender didn’t provide a head but I imagine it would be nice). Taste is big and bitter with grapefruit zest, lemongrass, lemon zest and Turkish delight. Legit!

Only a small sample at the AC Beer Fest, but I went back for more. Also my favorite brew this year. Pours amber with a white head. The aroma has a big hop presence with pine and citrus. The flavor is nicely hoppy and not too sweet.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very flavorful IPA with a nose of grapefruit and grass. The hops are pronounced and the palate is average. I had this off the draft and I haven’t yet seen it in a bottle.

On tap at The Office in Westfield with mike67. Poured an orange hued amber with a medium lasting white head, some lacing. Aroma and Taste of pine hops, tangy grapefruit, citrus with some splashes of orange, some caramel malt for balance. A medium crisp body, good carbonation. Finish is sweet caramel malt, pine citrus hops with a bit of tangy grapefruit and orange flavor. A well balanced and enjoyable brew.

On Tap at The Office. Pours orange with a long lasting white head. Aroma is of piney hops, orange marmalade, caramel and bready malt. Body is full and crisp. Taste is very similar to aroma. Finish is long, bitter, grapefruity. Very nice IPA.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2013 On tap at Mexican Food Factory w annie, hazy glowing orange pour. Medium sized off white head. Very lasting with nice lacing rings. Aromas and taste of bitter juicy hops, lots of resin, grapefruit, wood, orange, pine. Sticky mouthfeel, medium body. Best hoppy beer made in NJ. Boat beer from Carton is a close second for me but this thing is so sessionable and juiced out. Hopheads best be searching this out.
