courtesy of fishingnet. Pours golden, white head. Aroma is hoppy, floral/pine hops. Taste, hoppy, sweet citrus flavors, with light fruit notes apricot/pineapple. Extremelly smooth and easy to drink, well balanced.

Bottle shared by DuffmanSw. Pours cloudy copper with a dense tan head. Aroma is loads of citrus, somewhat floral, with sweet caramel malt in the background. Flavor is more bitter than expected. Tons of grapefruit. Some caramel, not as sweet as aroma suggests, long bitter finish. Chewy with low carbonation.

22oz. Bottle: Pungent aroma of hops, pine, skunk, hop oil, resin, grass, light herbs, grapefruit, and a hint of pale malts. Poured orange/amber in color with a small, dense, lightly creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Slightly sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout. Flavor is heavily bitter and slightly sweet. Tastes of hops, pine, skunk, hop juice, light grass, slight grapefruit, slight pale malts, slight resin, and a hint of bubblegum. Medium to full body. Oily, then dry texture. Average carbonation. Hops, slight resin, hop oil, light sugar, and slight bubblegum finish is lightly dry. 9%ABV is totally hidden.

I have no recollection of this beer, but have a readable written rating of it so I know it’s legit. Piney hops that are fairy subtle. Hazy dark gold witout much head. Very solid. Their hops tend to be a notch below style: IIPA is more like an IPA; IPA is more like a Pale. Full bodied.

Pours fairly lifeless orange with a small amount of lace. Bready-yeasty aroma balanced by a floral hoppiness hints of apple juice and ice-tea. Semi-sweet, full mouthfeel, finishes bitter. Your basic double IPA.

This poured an orange color with a large white head. The aroma contains perfume, orange peels, and lemons. This was not an over the top IIPA by any means. Slightly bitter with a good dose of malt presence. Some mild oranges and lemons showing in the flavor. Well balanced IPA and overall a pretty good one.

Bottle. Thanks to our Eugene peeps MOBE for hooking this one up. Pours a deep orange, some sediment and medium carbonation. Flavor is caramel like and slightly sweet, sugar additions are a nice complement to the deep west coast hop profile. Well done and tasty.

Pours a nice deep orange color with white head. Intresting aroma of spicy hops. Almost a note of orange and pine. Nice maltiness and hop presence. Clean but hoppy finish. Really nice.
