5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
This is the best IPA I’ve every had! Tons of aroma from the first wort hopping that lends your palette a floral and citrusy note. Some of the hops include citra and simcoe which gives a bit of grapefruit flavor to it. It’s not as hoppy as most IPAs because of the malt that’s added to balance the intense flavor. Not to mention, it won 1st place at GABF in the IPA category! Definitely recommended!

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
I tried this at an event during a recent trip to SLO. It poured a rich amber color with lots of carbonation and a thick head. The smell was a strong citrusy/fruity/hoppy aroma with just a light malt and caramel smell. The mouth feel was rich and full with a malty caramel start and a citrusy hop finish with just a light bitterness. This is a nice crisp refreshing IPA. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to get my hands on some more!

Bottle. Pours clear orange with a large orange-white creamy head that slowly dissipates and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, other citrus, pine. Flavor is about the same, starts citrusy and becomes more sweet and malty later in the taste. Light plus sweet, light bitter. Medium body and a very oily yet soft and silky mouthfeel. Very pleasant.
