3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Pours a gold, copper color with a thin white head. Minimal lacing. Nose is grapefruit and pine. Lively mouthfeel. Flavor was quite hoppy as you would expect. Grapefruit dominates the flavor, but there is some malt & caramel too, for balance. Finished dry and bitter.
3.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Deep copper to amber in color that poured a thin head which quickly dissipated. The nose was semi-sweet with aromas of caramel, citric hops, herbs, malt and spice. In the mouth the flavors were muted in this medium-bodied and dry beer. While the nose shows some sweetness and complexity the flavors are much more tame and muted.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This brew pours an orange colour with a medium sized white head. The initial taste of this brew is of highly fruity character, then it finishes smooth with a bitter citrusy taste. Plenty of grapefruit aroma and fresh hops.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
The aroma smells like a proper IPA with citrus and pine hops to go along with sweet and slightly roasted malts. The appearance is amber with a somewhat thin head. The flavor is sort-of like the aroma but not quite as good. It’s focus is on a bitter and somewhat unpleasant taste, the sweetness is still present though. The palate is thin. Overall not bad but still needs some work.

Bottle courtesy of TheBeerCellar. Thanks Matt! Pours red tinged orange with a medium head. VERY strong hop aroma... floral and pine. Taste is much smoother... and the hops seem almost hidden. Nicely balanced once you can find them, and while I wish they were more assertive, it is nice that they are on the mellower side. The hop bomb aroma and the mellow taste make this an interesting one.

Thanks ucusty. Pours a light copper amber with a two finger creamy off orange head. The nose is hoppy, earthy, malty, a little weird. Bottle seems like it may be off. Probably a good IPA. Flavor is nice and hoppy, citrusy hops, sweet malt, earthy flavors. Very light alcohol. Finishes a little funky and old. Taking the bottle condition into account this is probably pretty good.

The color was golden/amber. The head was creamy and off-white. The aroma was citrisy, light pine, hops, and a very slight rotten smell. The flavor was hops, alcohol, and rotten fruit. The palate was average. The finish was waxy/bitter.

Thick cloudy amber brown orange with a watery ivory cream colored head and good ringed lacing. Good flavor of oranges and hops. Average mouthfeel. Not a big or bold IPA in my opinion but a good beer nonetheless.
