Sampled from 12-oz bottle, picked up at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours an orange amber brew with an average white head that has some nice retention and excellent lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, citrus zest and a hint of caramel malt. Taste is typical IPA bitterness, with flavors of grapefruit, pine, some citrus zest, some caramel malt that is pretty much covered by by the hop presence. Finish continues the mild hop bitterness that lingers after the finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber in color, with a little bit of off white head. Fresh hoppy aroma, citrus, grafefruit, Bitter hops at the start, a bit of a metallic flavor, followed by a little bit of malty sweetness. Mouthfeel is a little thin.

Bitter hops, grapefruit aroma. Some metallic flavor with blood. It smells a lot better than it tastes. A little hazy.

Poured a solid amber color and smelled highly of citrus. Tasted like citrus hops and ended pretty malty. A really good, and local, IPA

12oz bonus from Msante I think. Pours orange with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and hoppy. Taste is overly bitter and a bit too sweet for me. Overall pretty good though.

bottle. Good surprise here! Nice amber pour. Aroma is very nice with citrus being the most dominant player. Flavor hits with a good dose of citrus hops which quickly gives way to some sweet malt flavor. Finish is lightl bitter and very nice. I enjoyed this beer.

12 ounce bottle. Pours orange/copper with a thin head. Nice citrus aroma. Good citrus hop flavor, but the sweet malt really wins and dominated the flavor. A little sweet, but a nice IPA.
