3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Had this in CA on my last visit in early May then found it in bombers at one of the many ABC stores in Waikiki, had a few each night I was there! A slightly hazy deep gold color with a beige head. Plenty of hops up front, rather predictable west coast grapefruit peel and pine tar flavors, caramel and toffee, a bit doughy, a nice solid brew from SN.

In a bottle at crystal mountain... hop, citrus and herbal aroma with a well balanced similar taste.. great beer!

This is an amazing brew! Definitely the best I've tried so far. I haven't tried many, but this will be difficult to top for me.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Pleasant hoppy aroma, average carbonation. Strong hop flavor, slightly sweet. Slightly bitter finish. Very strong flavorful IPA, but with ABV 7.2, much too strong for after a hockey game. Definitely a sipping beer, not a post-game beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A hazy golden caramel color with a finger of white head with pretty good lacing. Smells of caramel, citrus, floral hops, bread. A fair amount of bitter on the tongue initially but a good amount of sweet to balance. The floral notes hit in the aftertaste with a lingering bitter along with some cracker/bread. Good overall, enjoyed.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle pours a golden brown color with a bit of head. Full hop flavors that seem to increase in intensity, yet very easy going.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Extra IPA for sure. It’s a slightly milder version of Celebration but just a bit too hoppy still for my palate. It has a decent floral hop aroma and an impressive copper pour with a big white head that leaves a lot of lacing. The citrus hops hit early but the finish is a bitter bomb explosion. It leaves your mouth pretty dry and makes it slightly hard to drink fast. It’s a solid beer but a touch overrated in my opinion.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle @ brew wharf. Orange brown with slight haze. Not as much on the nose as I thought there might be - slightly funky hops, some overripe fruit maybe. Tasted good, though. Slight funky tropical fruit sweetness with a little choc malt which then turns into the bitter grapefruit with slightly tonic edge. Good.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pous deep cloudy red with hops bursting from the frothy head. There is a lot of piney citrus notes and enticing grapefruit near the finish. The flavor is a lot sweeter than anticipated but full of bitter notes and finishes with an astringent end. Great IPA
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A light sweet aroma. Such a full flovour it is intense, slight sweetness, citrus, a lil toffee. Nice light brown colour. A good IPA.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
I may have had an old beer when I had this because it seemed as though it had lost a lot of its hop flavor. Mine was very malty and almost a bit skunky (age may have caused the off flavors?)
