bottle. Amber with small head. Hops taste a bit soapy, and I don’t like drinking soap. However, if I can ignore that, this isn’t bad.

Really bitter and hoppy ipa. Smells fruity and is really smooth to drink. The label is pretty cool. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bucs572000 (114) - Minnesota, USA - JUN 9, 2013
From a 12oz bottle. Aroma is pine and citrus. Flavor is citrus, pine, and light malt. Flavor is a bit muddled, not bad by any means. I felt the beer smelled better than it tasted.

I had it out of a bottle, but I have had it on tap previously. This is a very good IPA! Bold aroma, medium head, even lacing, and solid IPA flavor.

ChiGuy68 (123) - Illinois, USA - JUN 8, 2013
Tasted from a 12oz. bottle. It poured a clear amber with a big frothy head. Refreshing hop aroma and taste and taste. Smooth with a slightly bitter finish.

On tap at United Club, SFO International terminal. Pours a clear dark amber with a moderate white head that leaves a good lace. Moderate grass aroma. Medium bitterness at the start that fades gradually.Medium slick with lots of bubbles.Drinkable but nothing really remarkable.

tmoreau (1673) - Lombard, Illinois, USA - MAY 29, 2013
Shared 12 oz. bottle poured to "on the rocks" samplers with a clear, golden color, and soft white head foam. Not much of a nose on this one, just a bit of ripened fruit and some resin and citrus. With moderate hop bitterness, average carbonation, and texturally, a little thin. Didn’t notice, but probably some age on this bottle. As is, just an okay IPA.

Garito793 (231) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 23, 2013
Beautiful light-gold. Highly drinkable. Although the hop flavor is not as "huge" as it could be, it leaves a strong impression afterwards. Plenty of citrus, can’t detect any malts.

Steve_0 (1395) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAY 23, 2013
Bottle at the View Lounge in SF. Pour is clear golden orange with a small white head and decent lacing. Caramel, grapefruit, slightly grassy, bready, earthy, and orange peel in the aroma. Taste is grassy, orange peel, stale fruits, bready, sticky weedy hops, malty, and citrusy with a medium hitter finish. Medium body with high carbonation. Ok.
