22 bottle. Great foamy head. Light color for an IPA. Mouth feel is thin for style. Taste is terrible for an IPA. Sour lemony flavor. Mild bitterness.

Nice looking pour. Deep golden yellow with white foam on top.
The smell is vaguely piney, vaguely citrus fruit, a little butterscotch note, mild bready malt. A little medicinal note, but not the dreaded bandaid more like aspirin.
The taste follows except there is an enormous wallop of bitterness that just dominates the taste. Too much bitter, not enough of the other notes.
Feel is medium body, a bit of a burn.
Overal, this beer seemed quite unbalanced with such dominating bitterness (not in a good way). I would pass on this one.

Picked up a 22 oz bottle and decided to try my first beer from this brewer. It looks good, deep amber in color & a slight haze. Dense off white head that leaves a solid film and moderate lacing. Not much to the aroma, if you smell it when it's cold. Once it warms up a bit the subtle caramel malt and orange citrus come thru. Still nothing spectacular. The flavor lacks character, it's not that it's bad, it just is really kind of bland. It's a bitter, malted beverage. There is some grapefruit and pine notes there, but they don't do much for me. I could drink it, and I am not saying I'd be tortured, but it's not one I would choose to drink. A watery mouthfeel and bitter aftertaste. Nothing to recommend in my opinion.

Bottle split with friends last night.
Mostly clear light copper with a dense, off-white head, this looks solid. The nose is decent, a blend of pine and citrus without much pungency or bite. There's cooked fruit and a little caramel malt present. The palate opens with a little bitterness, some hop flavor, again, a blend of cooked oranges, a little pine and some mild grassy character. Mildly sweet, though not offensive, this beer finishes a little sweet, a little hoppy and utterly lacking in focus or definition. OK
