look: 2.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Look: It pours hazy amber with some orange tinges. It has a fluffy full white head.

Smell: It has aromas of orange with some citrus. There is a bit of caramel in the background with very low pine.

Taste: The orange and citrus and fairly balance with the caramel being fairly prominent in the background for support. There are very low levels of pine and the bitterness is fairly moderate.

Feel: It has a medium body with medium low bitterness to the finish.

Overall, not very strong with flavors, but they do work well together.

Had a pint of this at Big Boss Brewery's taproom.

Look: amber golden color with a little white head and a tiny bit of lacing
Smell: mostly grapefruit, a hint of other citrus as well
Taste: grapefruit, roasted malt, faint orange note
Feel: medium body & carbonation

Overall: average IPA. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything special.

My buddy, Ian (no last names), was living in Charleston, SC for a while before relocating back up to the Northeast, but he knows my affinity for CANs & IPAs and when he heads south, he loads up to keep me happy. Am I happy? Hoppy! Thanks, Ian!

From the bottle: "Let It Ride, Baby! Cash Out! [check one box]".

I love the label with its horseshoe and pair of rolling dice! I am not generally a gambler and I really eschew cards since I have a literary, non-math mind and could never keep up with the poker sharpies. That said, I bought a used book from the library on Craps and when we were in King of Prussia for training, three of us went down and had a whirl at the table. Donna was really good at it and won us each ~ $80., but when it was my turn to throw the dice, I won a buncha people a load of moolah! I would absolutely play Craps again.

Once I Pop!ped the cap off, I decided to let it roll and press my luck. I got two-plus fingers of foamy, rocky, tawny head with great retention for my efforts. I watched with fascination as it slowly fell, leaving great lacing in its wake. Color was Amber to Deep Amber/Light Copper (SRM = > 9, < 13) with NE-quality clarity. Nose had a minty-pine scent underlain by a deep caramel sweetness. Mouthfeel was medium. The taste was really minty and clean! I felt like I had been drinking mouthwash, but in a great way. This was really tasty. Finish was minty, cool, dry, literally breath-taking for the second time today. Many thanks for this hookup!
