Decent hops, but overwhelming grapefruit taste. I like this beer, but don’t love it.

bought as a single bottle at AL Wine Castle on 2424 W. Stadium in Ann Arbor. Nice beer. good hops, not over the top. refreshing.

Bottle to half-pint glass (shared with the Mrs.; thanks mikem409). Looks solid; a cloudy orange with razor-thin off-white lacing. Smells solid; hoppy with a big pale malt backbone. Tastes like it smells with an average mouthfeel. A decent IPA.

Cloudy orange with a small white head. Malty aroma with toffee, along with citrus hops and a touch of peach. Sweetish malty flavour of toffee with a roasted hint. Citrus hops and a sharp bitter finish

Clear darkish orange pour from bottle. Sticky lacing/head. Fresh tangerine and fruity smell. Musty taste. Dry. Somewhat bitter. Floral. Weird. Average IPA

Orange in color... Citrus hop aroma with prevalent notes of Malts throughout... Mild hop character on finish... Decent ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Decent ipa, tastes almost likea brown ale gone ipa, lots of graininess, decent bitterness. Not 100% developed enough for me.

12oz bottle in a bulb. Pours cloudy copper with a lacy, cream-colored head. Aroma of pale and caramel malts with a little floral, citrusy hops. Flavor more like an amber ale than an IPA. Average texture. Would like to try this again, but right now, it just doesn’t seem that great.

Bottle at home - Shared with Mette. Clear amber - white head. Ok hoppy, light old hops, grape fruits, light to medium malty, citrus, ok bitterness, zesty citrus bitterness.

Bottle @ Christers. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of malt, grass, light citrus, earth. Flavor is malt, grass, earthty, cumin, herbs, light citrus. Medium body, lively carbonation. 130513
