Nose is indeed hoppy with fruity hops, some pungentness, and floral. Citric overtones speak of orange or grapefruit. Smells pretty good.
Pours mostly clear with unfiltered particulate on amber with copper/yellow highlights and a super creamy/fluffy/rocky head. Looks awesome.
Flavor kicks off with plenty of bitterness and leafy/herbal/earthiness. Mild chocolate malt creeps in. Soft sourness and mild-moderate tartness. Hop flavor follows nose, soft before growing with warmth. Mild spicy hop. Tastes pretty good. Feels pretty good. Pretty good drinkability.
A decent IPA. I'd like it better with more balance or more hops; it feels like it's halfway in between being balanced or being a hop-bomb.

Looks good with a dark orange/amber color and a white sticky head. Aroma is fruity with apricot and other fruit.
Taste is very hoppy with little malt to back it up. It is not thin however. A decent mouthfeel makes this palatable. ABV does not seem to come through in the flavor.
A decent drinkable brew.
