Straw with thin head. Mostly pine and resin in the nose, with floral notes and citrus. The flavor has a base of sweetish bready malt over which subtle (for the style) citrus and pine float. Medium bodied.

 

Served in a pint glass. Pours a clear golden color. The head collapses to a thin ring around the glass this time...which is interesting as I remember this having head my last pint.

The smell is very light and subtle, not remarkable or notable.

Taste is a surprisingly bold and rich, lingering bitter resinous pine, with a crisp resin finish that is a little sticky on the lips, and even slightly floral.

This is easy drinking but also sizable in bitterness. I’m guessing that’s the SnapBack part of it!

I enjoyed this, as well as Mother’s Lil Helper. Would buy again.

Dark copper colored with an fingernail of off white covering nearly all of the top. The aroma is of resinous, but faint tangerine. There's much more citrus than the nose would indicate. It starts off very bitter and then just completely falls off and there's not much light malt to back it up. The mouth is initially fairly resinous and lightly sticky.

nice to see a west coast style ipa this summer, seems like the year of haze, and something a little more old school, oily, and bitter, is a welcomed respite from the dry hoppy starchy world in which we now seem to be living. this has a nice simple clean malt base, a little crackery note to it and a flash of honey sweetness in nose and taste. strong pine resin, good weed, and orange in the nose, a more deep and organic sort of bitterness in the flavor, grapefruit and wet grass, some oiliness making it feel both slick and sturdy at the same time, balanced in a way, not harsh at all for how hoppy it is, and oddly drinkable. oh yeah, this is west coast ipa! nearly forgot. i love how vibrant the hops are, but how sort of classically northwestern they are, rather than fruity and tropical they are woodsy and resinous and bitter, it stays on my tongue nicely after i swallow it. this one doesnt warm up super well, getting a little sweet from the malt and coming apart just a bit, but when its well chilled its delicious and a good reminder of the kind of ipa that we all loved just a couple of years ago. not the best one out there, but well serviceable and plenty fresh in my experience.

Pours a clear golden color with a nice head. Aroma of Pine, bit of grapefruit and hint of malt. Taste of Pine and grapefruit with bit of malt sweetness. Nice bitterness that lingers into a fairly dry finish. Medium body, crisp, clean with a subtle malt feel. Enjoyable.

 

 

This brew, from a sixteen ounce can, is lightly hazy with a foamy white head. The aroma is of fresh hops....pale malt and a little fruit in the back. The taste is balanced. Fruity....a little floral flavors in the mid-taste. Fruit...muted citrus...in the finish. Drinkable and good.

 

 

 

Pours an effervescent honey color with a thub of pearl colored head. Modest head retention & lacing

S: Weedy & citrussy

T: Tangerine, breadyness, drynesss & cattyness up front. More of the same as this warms with leafy hops as well, citrus fades. Sharp bitter citrus finish ( Lime Peel ) , along with dryness in the finish, just a kiss of mango

MF: Medium body, slight carbonation, pretty good balance

Not bad, but was expecting a little better

 

Pours a golden color with a small white head. Smells of citrus and pine. Strong flavors of citrus and pine, a lot of flavor going on here but it works together really well. Go get you some.

Poured a clear, golden orange color with a small, bubbly head of foam. It smelled of pine and citrus fruits. Nice piney, resinous bitterness with citrus fruits and sweet caramel.
