Had this on 2015-11-12 in Columbia, PA from a fresh growler poured two hours ago at the brewery.
A - Lightly hazy deep amber-orange with a 1-finger white head and decent lace.
S - Rich and luscious aromas of sweet peach, dankness floral and biscuit. Very nice.
T - Hop forward; dank, pine and resinous bitterness followed quickly by sweet peach flesh, a modicum of navel orange flesh some lightly-toasted white bread and a wee bit of caramel. Finishes with a nice balance of all these flavors with bitterness just winning out over fruit and malt sweetness.
M - Medium-high body and light-medium carbonation. Sticky, resinous and a little prickly. Not overly-dry.
O - Impressive. A great smelling and delicious tasting brew. One of the best I've had from this brewery.
Notes: The ABV was listed as 6.4% for this batch.

I've been drinking IPAs from SBC for 10 years and I think this is my favorite. Had it on tap, which was put on 24 hours before I had it; tasted extremely fresh, and extremely delicious. Got 2 growlers, so I'm anxious to see how it tastes from the growler. Cheers!

I tried this from the growler courtesy of Tenderbranson69, enjoyed from a mug.
The color is slightly darker golden bordering on amber with light haze and thick white head. The smell is faintly fruity with more herbal and slight pine-like simcoe aroma. The feel is moderately carbonated and medium bitterness which is balanced by slight malt sweetness.
The taste is very good with slight tangy quality with mild yeast fruitiness combined with subtle citrus in the hop dept and gentle caramel in the malt to support with almost no alcohol in the taste. This is a drinkable IPA, but after the first the sweetness started to become more noticeable. I recommend this considering Selins Grove's level of quality as it is worth drinking.

Original score based on had/rate (not review) was 4.31 in January 2015. Updating this with a full review based on a new batch of SIPA via a growler I recently filled.
Growler poured into a matching SGB anniversary thistle. The brew displays polished copper clarity and a slightly off-white cap that fades leaving patchy lace.
The aroma is absolutely juicy with tropical fruity hops somewhat floral and almost perfume-like. A slight caramel bready malt and toastiness to round things out before a mild solvent alcohol kick.
The taste is all about the layers of hop flavoring without getting too bitter. Orange, mango, pineapple, grass, herbs and pine. Some bready to biscuit malt with slight caramelization and a solvent burn of alcohol is present in this growler but was never detectable on draft which is peculiar.
This is medium bodied and modestly carbonated. A crazy fresh offering from the source and an ipa that will spoil you for all other packaged ipa offerings. Very nice to see this as a reoccurring staple in the SGB arsenal of fantastic hoppy offerings.
