Swirls of microgunk further tarnish the clarity. Very hazy. A dark honey mustard color. Nice sticky and sudsy white head. Creates lacing, too.

Leafy green hops, tart tropical fruits, lime, hop pellets, and herbal aromas. All hops in the nose. Hard to distinguish what the malts are doing, but it's not much. Light crackery fluff. Very hoppy. Notes of pine and citrus rind are also evident.

Lots of C hops, but somewhat light on the citrus. Very leafy and green (the color of the can is perfect as a premise for how this beer tastes). More lightly tart, but supple, tropical fruit notes. Unripe papaya, bitter greens, herbs, pine, tangerine rind, canteloupe rind, and hints of lime. Pretty impressive stuff. Lots of hop flavor. Bitterness is moderate, but quite relenting. Pale malts are barely sturdy, and very clean. No distractions of toast, caramel, or sweetness. Excellent.

Light to medium-bodied. Quite oily. Has a delicate smoothness. Carbonation creates just enough gruff to matter. The way it feels counts for a lot, actually. Not as rich and bristly as is sometimes appropriate for an easily quaffable hoppy IPA, but close.

My expectations were small (no offense, Lavery). This is a phenomenal IPA. I want to send this to all my peeps out of state to try out. When in PGH, find some.

My go to IPA at home in Erie County. Light golden color; 1/2” head poured from tap at my local; good hoppy aroma; smooth easy feel; slightly fruity; nice bitter aftertaste.

I tried this beer at the brewery. It was part of a six sample flight. It poured a clear golden with white head that left some lace. The scent had very nice fruit peel notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bitter fruit peel flare. The mouthfeel was lighter in body and had good carbonation. Overall it was a solid beer.

Really a solid old school IPA. Pours a mostly clear light orange with a fairly well retained one inch white head that left sticky lacing. Smells and tastes of citrus (grapefruit), pine, grass, some herbal notes and a bit of bready malts in the background. Light side of medium bodied, medium carbonation and bitterness. Smooth and goes down real easy.

A clean crisp hoppy IPA. This is a really solid choice. Hoppy without being overbearing this is an extremely well balanced beer. It doesn't have a strong flavor profile with lots of fruit, flowers, or anything else. Just straight up solid IPA.

Delicious American IPA. Combination of hops delight the nose and thrill the tongue. Always satisfying whether on tap, bottled, or canned.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Somewhat cloudy medium golden pour. Thick foamy white head. Falls fast with thick sticky lacing.

S: Herbal hops and pine. A bit of spice.

T/F: Crackers and grains... spicy, with peppercorn and thyme. Resinous pine, lemongrass, and a bit of grapefruit. Tends towards the evergreen. Medium to light in body... thicker than expected given the ABV. Finish is spicy and sticky.

O: A solid and crushable IPA from Lavery... my first beer from these guys and hopefully not my last.
