Nice fresh citrusy hop aroma. Dark amber pour with thin white head. Heavy malt with a soapy mid-palate and slightly bitter, dry finish.

Lots of hop aroma, also has a bitterness that clings to the tongue. I prefer my IPA more balanced.

mvp (89) - Harper Woods, Michigan, USA - MAY 26, 2013
Orange like aroma. Dark orange in color and an off white frothy head that doesn’t seem to go away. Decent taste but leaves a bitter taste on the tongue.

Nice aromatics right off the bat! Opened the bottle and bam to the face! Lots of bitter up front followed by some nice normal IPA notes and tastes.

umich03jm (986) - Allen Park, Michigan, USA - MAY 25, 2013
Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a big frothy head that fades very slowly. Looks like soap suds, leaves nice lacing. Aromas are caramel and toast with some earthy and floral hops. Taste is maltier than most IPA’s. Still fairly bitter though with a very low sweetness. Somewhat stale earthy, pine, and floral hops. The malt flavor is solid, caramel and toast. Finish is fairly smooth, malty aftertaste, slightly dry. Overall, an average IPA. Could use some more fresh hop taste.

Patrickctenchi (1840) - columbus, Indiana, USA - MAY 23, 2013
Amber-orange with a small, yellow-tan head. Aroma is malty, toast, herbal/pine... Taste is toasted caramel, earthy hops. Bittering is mild. Decent.

gripweed57 (337) - Hamilton Square, New Jersey, USA - MAY 10, 2013
12 ounce bottle. Hazy amber orange color topped by a medium-sized beige head. Spicy medicinal hop aroma. Tangy light toasted malt flavor. Dryish peppery hop mid taste. Brief dry hop finish. Only average.

dimenhetfield (2378) - , Florida, USA - MAY 5, 2013
12oz bottle poured into glass. This was just a very typical, run of the mill IPA. Hoppy floral aroma, nice malt backing while the hops are up front in the flavor.

Fritz123 (286) - Boca Raton, Florida, USA - APR 28, 2013
Bottle from Fresh Market in Boca Raton, FL. American pint glass. Nice golden amber with thick off-white head. Aroma of pine, pine resin, malts and sweet flowers. Taste is more mild than expected. The hops are more bitter and mildew than the aroma. There’s a funky taste overall and the malts don’t balance the hops very well. Bitter, funky aftertaste.
