No head when brought to the table at restaurant. Hoppy and citrus nose. It had nice lacing all the way to the end. Floral with notes of bitterness, orange and lemons. Pretty good find at Bordinos for Valentine's Day!

A very enjoyable beer.
Poured from a 22 oz bomber. Deep copper color. Chucks, thick head that was retained for the bulk of the drinking of the brew. Cloudy. Lots of lacing.
Smell and taste are quite similar. Pretty typical IPA stuff. Hoppy, bready, piney. The unique aspect of this IPA is the floral notes. Interesting, but not my favorite part of the beer.
The feel is perfect for an IPA. Medium to thick. Very nice.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a cloudy golden/orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of hops, citrus. Taste is tropical fruits, pine, juicy, some malts, medium bitterness. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall a tasty and enjoyable beer.

I love Citra! so this blend of malty body and massive citra on the nose is a nearly perfect IPA for me! The ABV is high and this could easily be called an Imperial.
Nice to see some one pushing a solid IPA rather than stretching it out to be an imperial.

Kate brought some beers back from a MS/AR field trip. I think this may be my first ever Arkansas brewed beer.
Amber with a thin, bubbly head that retains fair enough for an AIPA. Smells like pineapple, Ricola and weak lemon iced tea. Tastes features a hop profile of lemon and tobacco. Website says IPA was dry hopped with Citra. Not sure where that went wrong.
The best part of this beer is the large amount of resin that makes it onto my tongue. Has a very wet (vs a dry beer thank you very much, I know liquids tend to be wet) mouthfeel but the high volume of lip smacking resin pulls this beer together for me.
