(tap) 5.17.13 variety - clear pale yellow colour with a small white head; aroma of citrus, then some sweet floral; very dry flavour, bit like a mix of dry white wine and IPA, long medium bitter and mineral finish

5.17.13 drank on 5.9.13. Pours a copper orange with a small head. Aroma is extremely crisp and floral. The pine scent is abundant as is the grassy notes. Grapefruit is the dominate scent. Picking up slight lemon lime. Taste is grapefruit and pine very a very sharp and crisp bite. Palate is bittersweet and grassy with grapefruit and pine flavors dominating the tongue. Mouthfeel is medium body, very tingly. The glass retains a large amount of lace. Other than Adirondack Brewery IPA, this is the freshest I've tasted. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tasted on 5/8/13 from a capped 650mL bomber bottle purchased at Sun Devil. Pours clear bright orange with an average off-white head that slowly recedes to average lace. The nose is awesome, with tons of floral and citrus hops, along with a nice dank hops note and just enough caramel malt to back everything up. The flavor is the same with the dank flavor in the hops showing strongest with the floral and citrus hops second and third, respectively. There is also a nice backbone of caramel malt nicely balancing everything out. The body is full with a sticky texture, average carbonation, and a long, very floral, dank, and nicely bitter finish. This is a top class IPA.

Pour is clear golden orange with a fairly tight white head. Nose is hop forward with a light grain malt balance. Herbal and citrus hops with a touch of sticky resin behind. Taste is a huge hop punch and quite syrupy and resinous. Sticky feel, assertive carbonation balances, tons of citrus and grapefruit. Some bitterness in the finish that lingers a bit. Overall not bad, very syrupy and hop forward.

Enjoy... Enough said. Pours translucent amber with a small tight white head. Floral and citrus scent. Flavor of citrus and hops. Refreshing and crisp. Excellent beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Deuce bottle from Binnys Beverage Depot, Schaumburg, IL. 5.17.13. Deep coppery yellow with a half inch or so if white somewhat thin suds on top. Pretty translucent, visible carbonation bubbling from glass bottom. Amazing smell on this one. Delicious ruby red grapefruit aroma, spring garden floral variety as well, lavender and the like. Mouthfeel is chalky and then has a bitter, dry and surprisingly clean finish. Leaves the tongue slightly numb. Taste is bitter and not at all as juicy as the nose. Very bitter citrus, nearly astringent from the pale malt bill perhaps. Seems salty. Probably signs of the ABV. Update-became VERY well blended as it warmed. Finish is still surprisingly clean, maybe a bit more bitter. Since I prefer a sweeter, juicier, hop-forward IPA this wasn’t my favorite. Very good well blended double IPA though once warmed

Open the bottle with an immediate blast of resiny, floral hoppiness. Citrus notes at first with a slightly bitter finish. Earthy nose as it warms. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

05 17 13 on tap at Front Row Pizza. Super fresh bouquet of floral hops. Amazing flavor of resiny hops without being too overpowering. Very clean tasting. Light to medium body. This 12 oz glass will be emptied quickly! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Overall amazing IPA fresh from the tap at Stone. Masterfully hoppy and delicious, drink fast!

Bottle at Edgar’s house. 5-17-13 batch. Pours hazy gold with medium white head. Aroma of serious pine, floral notes, citrus and fresh cut grass. Taste was mostly resin, pine, citrus and heavy malts. Mouth was smooth with intense bitter finish. Very well balanced.
