this is my second beer from this brewery - it is a very enjoyable ipa - great hop flavors smooth to drink

 

 

 

 

Light golden amber, some hop haze slightly off-white head. A plethora of fruity hops and some pine.

Taste is all hops. Tangerines, some lemon, and the resiny pine associated with the style. Really nice, but could use a bit more body. With a try.

Poured out a deep dense orange with a nice thick off white head that is sustaining itself nicely.
Think of the aroma you get while you are peeling a plump ripe orange, that is what i got with this, citrusy for sure
Hop bitterness is nice. Leans towards hops over malt and grapefruit is also present in the taste.
Chewy mouthfeel is what i get. I feel like even tho the taste was more towards bitter, the finish was clean.
Overall even tho i like a more balanced ipa this i a good yake on it. Just for me a tad more on the bitterness side.

 

 

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 11/22/2016. Pours slightly hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, honey, light caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, honey, light caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy/citrus peel bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange peel, pine, honey, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is a very nice IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the balanced bitter/drying finish. Nice juicy hop complexity and balancing malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and pretty classic tasting IPA.

Bought a single 12oz bottle, drank from a snifter.

Look: this beer pours a medium golden color with half a finger of quickly dissipating head. Minimal lacing.
Smell: citrus, mostly lemon/grapefruit. A little pine in the background
Taste: similar to smell. Pretty strong citrus flavor up front with hint of pine. Fairly bitter aftertaste.
Feel: medium bodied; medium-light carbonation

Overall: first beer from this brewery. This was a very enjoyable IPA, I'll definitely look for it again!
