Wow. It doesn’t get much better than this. I’ve waited a long time to rate this, usually stick to rating the beers from outside my availability.. Going to rate this super high quality local though Drinking this reminds me of all the fun times I’ve had with friends while drinking this beer over the years. Nose is so pungent. Mango, floral, sweet pineapple aroma. Appears a nice burnt orange color. the taste is just the ultimate balance and the most tasty flavors of hops ever. It finishes so F’ing smooth its not even funny. This is dominant and invigorating on the taste buds.

Same bottle as pictured. This beer is fantastic. Almost perfect. I would like to try some on tap as soon as I can. I may have to drive down to Grand rapids and stay in a tall building there to have this beer again.

{thoughts} Classic, classy. Amazingly superior to so many new generation IPAs and all done so effortlessly.

{elements} Hazy amber hue; rocky, white froth. Big, juicy hop nose of grapefruit and fruit loops; subtle biscuit malts; honey and floral undertones. Gentle sweetness upfront gives way to a pointed but clean bitterness with a tingling aftereffect; tastes of honeyed biscuits with a giant punch of grapefruit. Silky texture, soft carbonation, medium bodied. 12 oz bottle, batch 10011.

Great OPA. Yellow-orange color. Very nice giant head. Has tastes of citrus and gips. Some bitterness in the aftertaste. Overall one of the best american beers I had so far.

Great beer, this one is quite amazing. yummm, highly recommend a taste, this has a nice aroma, very well rounded. much less bitter then I was expecting but overall great beer

12 ounce bottle purchased at Sun Devil Liquors in Phoenix. This is currently the second highest IPA on RateBeer, between my beloved locals Alesmith IPA and Sculpin. Pours a honey-golden hue with two fingers of white foam which leave some nice lacing. Aroma of moderate hops (citrus, some tropical fruit, some floral) as well as some dusty malts. Flavor has some nice tropical fruit notes (overripe pineapple), grapefruit. It has a good level of bitterness with a nice balancing semi-sweet maltiness. Light lingering bitterness with a dry finish. Good, but I recall liking this better when I had it on tap at The Brick Store in Atlanta last summer. (2130, 438)

fantastic brew, the hops are well balanced with a smooth oaky flavour. the finish was an interesting dry bitterness. i wish Bells was easier to find.

Pour is a a light shade of gold with a white head. Nose is purely of citrus and needles. Taste is very refreshing and rather unique for an IPA, extremely smooth. Palate is light and defines it as a damn fine beer.
