A: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a golden yellow color and a clear consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, long-lasting head and good lacing.
S: A solid aroma of hops, citrus, and a piney quality.
T: Tasted of citrus (grapefruit), bitter hops, pine resin, and a bit of malt. Not the most complex or vibrant of flavors, but pleasant enough.
M: A well-carbonated beer with a dry finish. Light- to medium-bodied.
D: This is a drinkable beer with some solid characteristics, but don't expect too much from it.

12 Oz can poured into glass
Look - somewhat light for an IPA. gold yellow color with a medium foam head and lots of glass lacing
Smell - Some canned pineapple. Grass. Sweet and tropical for the most part.
Taste - Overripe tropical fruits. Sugar cubes. A dank herbal quality. A little alcohol. It's certainly not a run of the mill IPA, it stands out. It has medium body and medium-low carbonation.
Overall, i like this beer quite a bit. It's not too bitter and it has the tropical fruit flavors that i like in IPA. It also has an herb flavor that is almost like oregano, but i think it works well. Grade is a B+

A: Pours a golden orange color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a thin cap that leaves good lacing
S: A good mix of citrus, pine, and floral hops along with some caramel and malty undertones
T: Follows the nose. Starts off with the citrus and floral hop notes and then picks up the malt and a light sweetness. Finishes with lingering citrus and floral notes
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A little watery
O: A nicely drinkable IPA that has some good flavors. Nothing special though

From old, undated notes. Poured from the bottle.
Very light orange color.
Very filtered; easy to see through, especially when held to the light.
Frothy head & lacing.
Fruity, hop forward nose.
Slightly thin mouthfeel; very quaffable.
Subtle hop flavor on this guy, slight bite on the back end. Orange citrus is the main flavor. A little watery, truth be told, but this would be an IPA to turn to on a super hot day.
Decent, with a great nose.
