4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a light golden caramel with a 1-2 finger frothy white head. Minimal lacing.
Smell: Hoppy citrus and pine mixed with sweet hints of caramel.
Taste: Grapefruit-like hops flavor blended nicely with just a hint of malt. Nice bitter finish which gives way to a sweetness in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with just the right amount of carbonation. Quite smooth.
Drinkability: Very good drinkability. The 7.1% ABV is masked nicely so this one could end up sneaking up on you if you drink a few.
Overall: Very solid IPA. I would definitely recommend this one.

Bottle thanks to drowland. Pours copper amber with white head. Nose is floral hops and tons of citrus. Taste is hops, citrus and caramel malt balance. Nice crisp dryish finish. Good IPA.

The beer pours a light golden color with a thick, creamy, off-white head that has alot of staying power and also leaves a nice lacing. The aroma is very nice resin-y and citrusy. The malt sweetness does come through but the balance leans towards the US hops. The flavor has plenty of hop complexity, flowery, resiny, citrusy with plenty of bitterness to go around and some low malt sweetness. A dry finish. This is a very good beer that I re-enjoy every time I open a bottle.
4.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Very citrus-y, centennial comes through nicely. Well-balanced beer that is extremely drinkable - a session IPA for sure.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 19/20
I have had this several times but this was exceptionally fresh for around here (PA) - 2 weeks after bottling according to the batch number. Why can’t every brewery do something like this? It REALLY matters! Beer pours a golden amber with a large head which settles to a coating only at the last couple of sips. Lacing is thin but lasting. A whiff of this beer is a pretty perfect IPA-lover’s dream - citrus (esp. grapefruit orange), pine and flowery. Not the strongest nose but pleasant. Taste is grapefruit, lemon, pine resin but pretty nicely balanced with tastes of orange and sweet malts. The finish moves toward bitter but without assault - just notes that put a nice end on a good performance. Bravo. Mouthfeel is creamy, a little slick and medium-bodied. Great beer, and one even those who would not describe themselves as hopheads would enjoy. Just make sure to get it FRESH.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a slightly hazed golden color with a white head and lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is citrus, hops, grass, malt. Flavor is a good dose of floral citrusy hops balanced out by just the right amount of malt. Everything is in balance and nothing is overdone. Simply a great go to IPA.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Good table IPA with a dorky label. A great beer for an easy evening with friends. Old trusty pours a hazy orangish yellow hue. The aroma is bold and filled with hops and citrus. Two hearted is light and refreshing with a good balance of hops and malt. The taste is floral and citrus hops with a hint of orange and grapefruit. Not overpowering, just simple clean and well put together..
