Huge white fluffy head that leaves copious lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell is malts and band aid.
Taste is bitter hops good amount of bready malt. The hop notes are leathery and have a touch of pine.
Mouthfeel is light to medium with just enough carbonation. Finish is bitter and dry.
Overall I'm not sure what this beer is trying to be but it is an alright IPA.

Listed here as a Belgian IPA. If that is the case then I believe this is my first time having one. Poured from a very cool looking pint can. When first opened, it had a nice bright floral aroma with subtle hints of citrus hoppiness. As the beer was poured the aroma wasn't as prevalent which was a dissapointment as it was very enjoyable. It keeps a nice lace on the glass and a nice thin white surface. Beer is notably pale, grassy appearance.
Taste starts a little bready, then piney, with a pretty intense dry finish. Hop heavy. Greapfruit. Very bitter. Very little malt presence, If you're in the mood for a full blast NW IPA then I don't think you will be very disappointed with the taste. Bitterness does remain in the mouth maybe a little too long, could possibly use just a little more balance with the malts, but I think the hops blend very well. It really isn't that bad. Enjoyable feel, light to medium bodied.
This is really much better than the ratings here lead one to believe. I have had many worse IPA's and think that this one is far above "okay." Very enjoyable. I recommend.

Poured into an IPA glass from a 12 oz can.
Color is hazy amber with a two finger white head. Decent retention and some lacing. Smell is yeasty bread, phenol and some spices. Flavor is similar to the nose - pretty malty with some mild spice and a generic bitter finish. Body is light/medium with moderate carbonation.
Overall its just okay. Not something I'd seek out again.

Acquired via trade from Donkster46 so a big “Thank You” goes out to him. Poured from a 16oz can into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep gold color, with a large off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a spotty lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains hops, Belgian yeast, caramelized malts, some hops and some spice.
T: The taste starts out bready with flavors of Belgian yeast and a hearty malt character. Then some mild sweetness comes in from flavors of caramel, citrus and a little pepper. The hops presence is decent for the style and provides some balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly bitter.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is dry and slightly sticky.
O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, good kick, decent representation of style, this is a decent beer to drink for a while.
