Brightly hopped and crisply flavored golden ale. Lemon-candy-hop aroma and flavor, going dry and grassier in the bitterness--the latter emerging as the house character. Which I like. Excellent but strong to be really useful as a summer beer.

Well hopped IPA, light on the malts. Bomber served in a tulip. Pours hazy orange-yellow with a medium sized white head. Looks like a hefe, smells like an IPA. Brief retention and good lacing. Nose has grapefruit, orange, pineapple. Also some floral elements and a whiff of dough. Very nice. Bitter sweet flavor, Medium body, resiny texture. Citrus is all over palate as well, finishing moderately bitter and dry.

Pours hazy light orange/yellow with a big creamy white head that fades leaving some lace. Aroma of floral and light citrus with some grass/herb. Taste is the same, very light and floral, nice and crisp, some bitterness on the finish. A great IPA. Medium light body, very smooth carbonation, the bitterness is actually pretty long on the finish but is still mild, if that makes any sense.

22 oz bottle - Very citrus hops aroma. It’s a bit more on the yellow side than I would expect, and it’s quite cloudy. Maybe that’s because I dropped the bottle just before opening it, but it still poured quite nicely. Very smooth IPA taste. Not over hopped like a lot of IPAs lately. Goes down smooth with a lingering finish that rewards you a few seconds later. Very nice one.

22 oz. bottle- Pours a cloudy straw golden with a quickly dissipating head, aroma is lemons and a little hop bite. The flavor is fruity followed by resinous hops that have a spiciness to them, interesting combination. If it weren’t for the massive amounts of hops (which make the beer much more interesting) it would be a normal fruity summer pale ale or something, but the hops are so complex, they used like every hop in the book here. Very light and refreshing yet hoppy as hell, nice beer. Bow down and pray to the all mighty Ninkasi, the goddess of fermentation!

Ceetainly a new dank one for the summer...this is one hell of a balanced IPA. Tons of citrus and mouthfuls of orange resin goo all over the place. Great and semi-sweet malt backbone compliment the robust but not over the top hop flavors. Nice bitter finish, grapefruit lingers...glad I tried one!
