The summit hops lend a pronounced pineapple and citrus character to this american ipa, late additions of northern brewer, glacier and more summit round out the hop profile in this delicious nectar.

Loved this beer so much that I brought home a keg. It had B#19 on the cap and I think this is the batch number. I will be enjoying it for the next few weeks. Very well balanced. Smells malty and floral. Not dry and not sweet, it's perfectly medium. Hop flavor is citrusy. Fantastic beer.

A: The beer is very hazy dark yellow in color. It poured with a finger high off white head that has excellent retention properties and consistently left a short head covering the surface and some specks of bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of sweet malts and orange citrus are present in the nose. The malts become a bit stronger as the beer warms up.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of sweet caramel malts along with notes of orange citrus hops. Little if any bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate an and has a moderate amount of carbonation. Only a faint amount of crispness is perceptible.
O: With its heavy malt body, this beer is a change of pace compared to most other IPAs that are very hoppy.

By far the best IPA brewed and bottled in Jax. Veteran’s Hop Banshee second, and Intuition third. Engine 15 knows what they’re doing when it comes to American IPA’s. 6.3 abv is perfect for a couple pints, also not to filling. Nice citrus/pineappley overtones, mellow finish. Highly recommend

12 oz bottle from Florida.
Look: Hazy copper body topped by a decent white head that leaves plentiful lacing.

This is a very mild IPA; heck, it's mild and sweet for an APA. You should ignore the discrepancy between style expectations and flavor profile and just enjoy this tasty beer. It's plenty flavorful with toffee, caramel, pineapple and soft ripe fruit notes dominating. Sweet up front and mildly bitter by the aftertaste.
Medium body and carbonation.
