COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This unique take on the traditional IPA style pairs the bold and intense aromas of whole-cone hop "flowers" with aromatic natural rose hips and petals for complex aromas and unexpected flavors.

It has good flavor and decent balance. The floral hop character dominates though there is a fainter malt presence. This is solid and worth trying. It’s different from some of the other SN IPA’s.

Brewdork (67) - Sanford, Florida, USA - JAN 22, 2013
Pours hazy amber with thin white head. Strong floral hop aroma. Very nice hop flavor with lively mouthfeel and a clean finish. One of the best IPAs I’ve had in a while.

rougeau13 (1646) - Texas, USA - AUG 18, 2012
Clear orange with sudsy off-white head. Lacing is pretty heavy. Aroma is citrusy and floral over toast and caramel malt. Floral tasting as well, with substantial bitterness. Medium bodied and dry. Definitely outside of the norm; good stuff.

This home brewer crushed it, bit floral hoppy aromas, perfect blend of malts and hop bitterness

Bottle at home. Clear pale orangey pour, thick fluffy off-white head. Looks amazing. Fresh wet grass, definite floral notes, light juicy citrussy fruit on the nose. Slight sweetness up front, just a tiny tiny hint of caramel malt, followed by a big perfumed sprucey thing, soft earthy peppery notes and a soft, lingering rounded bitterness. Reminds me of a lot of traditional English IPAs, in a very good way. I like.

A - Pours a clear golden-orange color with a finger of frothy white head. The head fades down at a normal pace leaving behind some nice lacing. S - Aroma is a mix of sweet caramel malts with floral, pine, grassy, and a bit of tropical hops. T - Starts off with some sweet caramel malts and some floral and light grapefruit hops with some bitterness. Through the middle, more floral hops come through with some pine and grassy hops with some more bitterness and some biscuity and bready malts. The finish is a mix of floral and piney hops with some bitterness and some sweet caramel malts. M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a lightly dry and bitter finish. D - Very drinkable. Nice floral IPA profile with good bitterness and balance throughout.

Aml42000 (616) - Washington, USA - SEP 16, 2012
Copper/amber colored, clear all the way through. Pleasant floral/hop perfumed nose. Medium bodied IPA with a refreshing burst of citrus flavor and just the right balance of fizz and softness on the mouthfeel. Medium length finish.
