22 Oz bottle purchased at Rozi’s in Lakewood. Pour is a clean, clear and under control amber color. Aroma is a wonderful perfume of oily citrus, flowers and all wonderful things hoppy. Flavor is a smooth, smooth smooth rich malt flavor mingling with a slightly bitter viscous end. The aftertaste is a nice fuller malt taste with just a little bit of citrus hiding behind. Wonderfully drinkable IPA.

Poured a crystal clear amber with a light amount of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. There was a nice foamy, off-white head. There was a strong pine aroma and also the scent of a freshly cut grapefruit. The initial taste was a strong, dry, crisp bite followed by a nice smoothness and finished again with a good hop bitterness. The sensation on the palate was that bitterness from eating a grapefruit and the aroma of pine was still able to be detected from your mouth

Thanks to Alexsdad06 for this! Pours a copper color with a thin off-white head that fades quickly and leaves lots of stickky lacing on the glass. Aroma is grapefruit, mango, pine, and a bit of nuttiness. Taste is citrus grapefruit with some nice caramel malts and almond nuttiness. Very well balanced, smooth.

Thanks to my bro for hooking this one up. Pours a deep amber hue with thin offwhite head that fades quickly leaving globs of lacing on the glas.. Aroma is of intense citrus if some pine and grapefruit. Mild malt notes and caramel also waft up the nose. Taste is light citrus and grapefruit with mild caramel. Easy drinking as hell and very well balanced. Delicious!

Great beer. I would probably be saying this is my my favorite IPA except I just had a Hopslam which is a very similar beer. This beer is sweet and slightly bitter. The hops create almost a juice presence of floral. Amazing beer. Well worth any money you put down on this one!

Lost my notebook last night so im going tro do this from my head. Pours orange with some dark amber and brown. Reminds me of the color of the label. Awesome floral/pine hop aroma with subtle graprefuits notes but predominantly floral. Extrordinary flavor, very earthy, pine, sweet not overly bitter for the high level of IBU"s.

Bottle from Hyde Park Wine. Poured clear copper color with a large frothy off-white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hop and small malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy citrus bittersweet flavor with a moderate to heavy bittersweet finish of medium to long duration. Very good brew.
