12oz bottle. Clear golden color with a decent inch-thick white head. Aroma is nice, citrusy hops. Taste is sweet and slightly bitter but nothing outstanding. Pretty bland actually. Body is very light and thin. Overall not very impressed with this one.

I really enjoy Ranger. Nice hopping grapefruit citrus prevails, which I like. It’s palate is pleasing and I consider it one of my "day-to-day" beers (Two Hearted being my favorite day-to-day).

Extremely clean and well balanced. Has the right amount of bitterness, the aroma is pine, herbal, and citrus. Holds a nice thick white head down the glass with regal lacing. It is plenty bitter, but there is enough bready maltiness and hop fruitiness to balance it out. The aftertaste is a bit weak, it has a medium body and thin texture with medium carbonation. A very satisfying IPA, one you could drink in quantity.

Not really digging this blend of hops. Not bad, but lots of cat pee and big foresty piney citrus. Almost sweet.

Poured from 12oz bottle, pours a light amber color with a very thick white head, has aroma of bittering hops and a hint of citrus and grapefruit, flavor is hoppy but is not very complex, okay just nothing out of this world.

JoeMcPhee (5493) - Jackson Heights, NY, Nunavut, CANADA - AUG 28, 2010
Pale golden pour and a thick white head. The nose is lightly piny. Fairly straightforward palate with a mix of pale malt, light pine and a fairly prickly/peppery finish. It has a little bit of light fruitiness on the back of the palate. Fairly simple, but well-made IPA.

WOW! This one surprised me, I heckled my wife for picking one up for me but damn pretty nice hop aroma, a mix of citrus and pine. Nice caramel body that mixes with the citrus and pine well on the tongue. This beer is a little timid for an IPA but this beer really surprised me and I enjoyed it.

I had this while on holiday to Arizona. We can’t get it in Michigan, so I had to try it. I was quite surprised by this, as I ha d not heard of it, but it was better than their trippel! It poured a lovely dark amber, with small head. Plenty of hop character to keep any hop head satisfied. My only complaint is that wasn’t citrusy enough... but besides that it was great!! Cheers!
