Appearance: Very slightly cloudy straw-yellow color with a generous-sized, thick white head that subsided slowly. A nice-looking IPA.

Smell: Pine aromas dominate with some citrus fruit.

Taste: The flavor profile features mildly bitter pine hop notes and mild citrus fruit notes. The beer has a West Coast bitter hop backbone, and the beer finishes fairly dry ending with some moderately bitter hop notes.

Mouth-feel: Fairly light-bodied with a generous level of carbonation.

Overall: A good IPA, true to the old school, West Coast style.

Pours a clear golden yellow with a thick white head. Good retention, great lacing. Aroma is mild, hints of tropical fruits. Flavor is sweet up front, fruity with some piney hop bite in the finish. Not really getting any rye. Feel is medium bodied and only lightly carbonated. Overall, a fine beer.

 

Almost clear gold with dense white head, excellent retention, rings of lace
A little bit of dank, mélange of tropical fruits on the nose
A bit of spice up front, barrage of citrus and tropical fruits, a bit of old school citrus and slight pine follows, bitterness starts light, builds, and lingers
Medium light bodied, slick, well carbonated. You want to quaff it
Pretty fucking dope

A- pours with a massive head. Very thin golden pee color. Doesn’t look great

S-Pine, orange, bread, woods

T-lightly bitter, pine, some citrus with some rye spiciness

M- pleasant

O- I like FW a lot but this isn’t anything above average

A clean looking IPA with decent carbonation with a lasting small head and a drying aftertaste. The smaller lasting head sits above a golden colored clear beer and gives off a definite hopsy aroma that lingers in my nose, I kind of like that. I personally was hoping for more rye presence but that's just me, I'm a rye in my alcohol fan. A pretty decent beer and I think I would be inclined to buy a 6 or 12 of this once in a while if it were actually sold that way.

great added rye flavor not overpowering the hops gives this ipa just a little different taste
