3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice hazy orange/gold beer with a thin white head. Aromas of grass, spruce, and floral hops. Smells like a typical IPA, but the taste is a bit different. Along with the spruce/pine, herbal taste there is a pleasantly sweet underlying taste here. One of tangy fruit mixed with dough. I found that to be what made this beer special. Tasty beer for the style.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden beer with a weak offwhite head. The aroma is malt and hops with citrus. The flavor is malt and hops with citrus and orange. The palate is dry with bitterness. Overall a good beer with a good balance.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
This was delicious. One of those beers that you forget how good it is until you have it again. Hoppy but still so drinkable. Excellent Serving: Bottle, tap, cask
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours deep straw colored. Excellent head and lacing. Super hoppy, citrusy, floral, fruity aroma. 10 for aroma. Finishes very smooth, with hints of hops, malt, citrus, and perfumy florals. Great beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber pour, massive head and lace. Hoppy fruity aroma. Strawberry and hops come on strong with a nice medium carbonation. Some dusty woody malt comes in at the end with a bit of alcohol. A little bitter, but very tasty.

This beer lives up to its score. There is nothing but refreshment from the first sip to the after taste in this beer. Bells hit a home run!
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Currently #2 IPA around here...but does it live up to that? The bitterness is a lot stronger than the hop aroma/taste. Solid malt that is a good support for the hops. Color is a bit lighter than expected, and a little thin on a the palate for a 7%. Actually, all in all it is more of a great, weak DIPA than a IPA. I need a lot more hops in the aroma for this to be a top IPA. A great beer, but I would disagree with it being #2. Alesmith, Pizza Port and Russian River all out IPA this. Still a fantastic beer though, don’t get me wrong.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Botle: Pours Deep Golden, with a decent white head that lasts for a decent duration. Smells of floral hops. Taste is light bitter, Flavors of floral hops, citrus orange. Medium body and a relatively smooth finish. Certainly the best IPA i’ve had, but I haven’t had many. I’ve finally found another beer staple!
