Pours a lovely hazy orange with a nice white head that quickly fades. Smells somewhat odd, somewhat fruity but not sure what, taste follows the nose. Nicely carbonated. It's decent but not a show stopper.

I poured this 12oz. can into my Atwater Can pint glass. It starts with one finger of foam that settles to a thin layer rather quickly. This ale is slightly hazy, orange in color with light carbonation.
The aroma is a light hint of citrus and some malt.
The flavor is lightly sweet up front with a very dry hopped bitter pine finish.
The bitterness makes it tough to get a good feel here. The flavor is much stronger than the aroma let on. The hop finish is what this one is all about!

Light citrus, sweet amber copper color. Smooth to the tongue, solid IOA - great for dinner. Obtained one on draft at an airport and was still a pleasant, non-diluted not overly carbonated experience.

Pours a bronze color, with a small lacing and long lasting head. Weak aroma, but malty and earthy. Flavor is balanced, nice crisp malts and a nice noticable hop finish. Good body and feel. Overall nice balanced ipa.

On tap.
A - Medium copper colored pour with really think, dense creamy white head on top.
S - Mineral-like aroma with a slight toasted malt character with citrus over top.
T - Earthy spice, resiny floral and citrus over top of light caramel malt. Finishes with a strong citrus floral bitterness with earthy spice and pine that lingers for a long, long time.
M - Big and chewy body with a silky, slick coating on the tongue and very dry on the sides of the mouth.
O - The best part of this beer is the finish. Old school is good and this finishes strong.

Fairly nice, dry IPA that’s quite easy to drink yet flavorful. Slightly hazy orange-yellow color with some foaming head and spotty lingering lacing. Smells of bitter grapefruit zest hops as well as some herbal hops. Tastes similarly, along with a little floral hops, malt and caramel. Smooth, mild mouthfeel, good carbonation, slightly bitter feel throughout. I would have preferred it to taste more juicy.
