3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20aquired in a trade with schuf on the other site, as an extra I guess. bottle poured into a snifter. glowing golden hue capped by a 1/2" white head with fair retention. nose is complex and inviting with caramel backed by pine and citrus. Bitterness is cutting but quickly washed away with cracker and caramel sweetness. Slick, but medium bodied. Yum!

12oz bottle. Pours a clear light amber with a healthy white head. Big bread aroma with watermelon notes. Flavor not as prominent as the aroma, well balanced bitter, salt and sweet carried by a full but not heavy body. Overall I do like this beer - not as brash as many IPAs, but not lacking in character.

From a 12 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a clear dark gold with a farily thin white head. Floral hop aroma. Hints of caramels and plenty of hop goodness, Quite pleasant.

[US West Coast Trip 2013] lite för ljus för mitt tycke. Lite dov aroma, välbalanserad med humle och citrus och med en fin beska.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a tulip. Pours clear light orange with big/medium white head with descent staying power. A little small bubble lacing, medium/light body, medium carbonation, and nice grapefruit aroma. Taste is nice medium grapefruit, tangy, hint of pine, with balancing malt backbone. Really good beer and so easy to drink for 7.5%. One of my favorite IPAs.

UPDATED: JUN 14, 2013 Bottle. Pours clear golden. Minimal white head and lacing, disappear quickly. Smell is subtle, pine, grapefruit, little malt. Tastes of medium grapefruit, weak pine, very drinkable balance of hops and malt. Mouthfeel is low carbination, weak crisp, watery finish. Perfect for entry into IPA.

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
355ml bottle thanks to Lewis. Pours a hazy golden with an attractive lacy head. The nose has cake mixture and really chewy cookies. The taste has vanilla, orange and more of the honeyed cookie going on. The palate is lovely - rich structure maybe medium to full bodied with a big creamy but also tangy texture and then a long. This is so dangerously drinkable, I’d struggle to stop drinking it.

Pours a wonderfully clear dark golden color with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is a mild grassy, citrus, sweet caramel. Taste is a very balanced caramel sweetness and bitterness. Bitterness lasts into finish. Silky mouth feel with a mild carbonation. Very tasty and drinkable IPA.
