4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Aroma of pine cone, spruce, and thick citrus. Pours a nice red amber with a puffy white head. Taste of thick hops bursting in your mouth- lemon/lime zest, pine resin, and freshness. Top notch ipa.

One of the great beers of summer.
This is the beer that started my love of the Troeggs brewing company. I have also had it in a growler and it's exceptional.

Pours a deep amber color with a finger-width head that lingers. Hoppy and floral aromas. Very hoppy, biting taste. Delicious.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours slightly hazy and amber in color with medium off white head. Aroma is pine and grapefruit. Taste follows suit with grapefruit and citrus hops forward. Malt has a nice body and balances hops nicely. Excellent mouthfeel, but not too syrupy.

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Ar: Orange pith, pineapple, pine, some toasty caramel.
Ap: Clear orange-amber - large off-white head with good retention, and a thick trail of clingy lacing.
T: Medium-sweet caramel mixes with orange and pine up front - clean yeast profile, with lots of resinous hops - high bitterness, very smooth - some toasted caramel, lemon, and pine on the finish - solid malt backbone, but does not detract from the hops, but, rather, complements them very well.
P: Medium body with high carbonation - finish is medium-dry.
O: Great showcase of hops, with a very solid and delicious malty backbone - a really great IPA.
