Again, not a beer perfectionist like others in here, but I really like what this IPA offers. Not too hoppy but has enough kick to let you know its an IPA. Great colour, who cares how much head it has. And you gotta love the logo.

Piny aroma. Nice medium body with variety of hop flavors, pine, citrus, floral. Hides the alcohol very well. Great craft brew.

Growler.Pours a dirty orange,with a thin white head,Aroma is pine,oak,grain and grassy hops. Flavor is kind of a somkey earthy malt character with hints of fruit (peaches) plums,maybe some grapefruit, the hops come in at the end with just the right kick. This was kind of a hard brew to figure out but so tasty ,and I had to drink the whole growler myself Mmmmmmmm. Enjoyable.

On tap at Schmohz. Slightly hazy amber-orange body, thin off-white head. Earthy, floral, herbal aroma. The flavor surprised me, beginning with fruity (including a touch of strawberry), caramely malts that soon gave way to earthy, herbal hops that never became dominant but left a nice lingering bitterness in the finish. A bit grainy with a touch of Cheerios as well (nudge, nudge...an Irish Ale would be delicious!). Medium-bodied, full-flavored. Pity I could only finish half a glass after eating a giant gyro for lunch. The brewery’s best beer so far IMO!

on tap at schmohz...nice clousy orange appearance with small white head; aroma is full of flowery hops...flavor is very similar but also adds a hint of light fruits and caramels; a nice palate overall, and probably the best Schmohz has on tap
