Very Well Done IPA with a plenty of flavor and a good bit of Hop action going on.
The first impression as I smell the beer is typical for the style. Dank, resiny, Pine jumps at you. This beer is more on the west coast side of IPAs. I love the fact that its Unfiltered and Bottle conditioned, That seems to lend a particular flavor you won't find in others. The flavor is really going for this one. Upfront, A Black Pepper bite with a unique Floral blossom character. As you drink you encounter a slow build of Sweetness and bitterness follows. I enjoy the Malt bill as well, the fact that I can actually taste the Malt is a testament in itself. The flavor coming from the malt is a white bread or more like a light yellow cake. Not buttery. The hops seal the deal and make this beer a winner for me. I love the pleasant lingering bitterness despite the IBUs being 55, Its a dynamic bitterness that satisfies my taste buds. Overall, I think this is a wonderful Beer. Worth a try!

This one was really great. Crisp, refreshing, good hit of bitterness, perfect for a hot summer day spent grilling. Pours a darker golden-amber color with some nice fluffy white head and spotty lingering lacing. Smells of great fruity zest hops - grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, pineapple, guava, orange - as well as some malt, vanilla, bread and floral hops at the end. Taste follows the nose, and there was a great balance between the sweeter malt backbone and the more bitter hoppiness, especially at the finish. Smooth, juicy, mild mouthfeel and great carbonation. Really well balanced and crisp, flavorful and enjoyable. An excellent summer beer!

12oz can, best by 7/1/19.
Sunset yellow body and rocky pale head that produces good lacing.
Big doses of pineapple and peach rings with a little caramel malt.
Fruity front end of pineapple, mango, and peach with a rougher pine and grapefruit bitterness finish.
Medium to light body with medium carbonation.
This is a good American IPA in the classic mold. The tropical hops are on point.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass
Appearance- The beer pours a lightly hazed orange amber color with a one finger head of fluffy white foam. The head fades rather slowly over time to leave a ton of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is rather strong of a tropical fruit and tangerine smell mixed with some aromas of bread and a little bit of caramel. With a little bit of pine and a hint of light fruit aromas, one is left with a rather nice inviting aroma.
Taste – The taste begins with a rather strong tropical fruit and tangerine taste with the tropical fruit being of a pineapple and mango nature. Upfront there is also a rather decent showing of a bready and caramel taste which remain steady throughout the taste. As the taste advances the sweeter flavors get slightly more intense al while some pine and grass come to the tongue. In the end with the all the flavors that are left, one is left with a nice fruity and decently mixed moderate hop taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is on the average side in terms of thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is rather average. For the mix of fruit and hop the feel is good and makes for a flavorful easy drinker.
Overall – A very tasty and easy drinking brew overall. Quite nice.

The lightly hazed golden amber colored beer pours out into a Duvel glass with a 1 1/2” off white head that recedes slowly to become a cap of foam and then a thin irregular island of foam with a ring around the glass while leaving a web and some patches and rings of lacing. Sipping creates a couple of arches with lots of small patches and a few legs of lacing.
The aromas are full of citrus and pine with lots of grapefruit, zest and pine resin. There’s also a bit of caramel from the malt.
The flavors are much as expected from the nose with the grapefruit and pine resin showing the most. The caramel malt sweetness is a bit more noticeable than the resinous bitterness but each is noticeably present.
The mouth feel is medium bodied and fairly crisp with the moderate and persistent carbonation. The finish begins as the various flavors and sweetness begin to fade away leaving the long clean fresh ending to some light dry bitterness from the pine resin and citric zest.
Overall I’d say this is a well made drinkable classic IPA with sweetness from the malts and the bitterness from the citric resinous hops in a very enjoyable balance. Looking forward to having this one again and I could easily have a second one right now.

Pours a rocky slightly off white head. Color is a pretty clear brown-amber.
The nose is dank and grapefruity. A slight hint of pine. Some hints of guava after a good swirl. Can't really smell the malt character.
The palette is pretty sweet with caramel notes, backed by some biscuit and crackers. Some grapefruit comes through on the flavor, but the flavor is not quite as hop forward as the nose. Finishes a touch dry, washing away some, but not all, of the sweetness.
The mouthfeel starts medium bodied and moves to a touch aqueous through the finish. The carbonation is moderate. The alcohol warmth is very subdued.
Overall, this is an IPA whos nose eludes to a better palette. It's a perfectly drinkable beer, but the 420 Extra Pale Ale would be a better purchase for the money. Would be tasty with a juicy hamburger or a solid cheese pizza.

Pours a light copper color with a finger of head. There is an array of bright citrus fruits in the nose and flavor profile. The finish is solid piney hop goodness.

Poured into a chilled 16oz glass. Medium head which receded quickly. Opaque hazy orange in color. Nose is grapefruit and a malty hoppy aroma. Mouth is full and robust ending with a slight hop bitterness on the palette on final. Alcohol is present though not prominent, I thoroughly enjoyed this IPA. Had it the first time on tap in the ATL Sky Club on one of my may TDY trips with the Army.

Aggressively poured a fresh 12 oz. can into a Spiegelau IPA pint glass (dated best by 5-6/19) and it topped out easily with a bold crusty head that leaves very structured lace walls. Beautiful thing. Full, medium golden body with a lightly populated haze.
Lemony fresh citrus scent! I can see why there's a fish on the can! Smells like you just reeled one in. Dankish riverwater earthy, shady aromas lurks beneath that initial pop of citrus. The pale malt/grains used support this very subtly.
Taste follows nose somewhat, with nice proportions and mid/light body that makes for hoppy balance. Like gymnast on a beam balanced.
Or one ski slalom. Crisp hop bitterness, light citrus peel, matched to malt, matched to adequate carbonation makes this a killer IPA. I'm newer to the IPA style, and this Sweetwater makes it easy to like.
Enough body present to indicate that a really good beer has been consumed, and lightly fit enough to ask for more.
Crisp clean fresh and dry.
One of my recent favorite IPA style brews.

Pours a near translucent yellow with a half a finger of white foam. Minimal lacing. It has a very floral Aroma with hints of grapefruit and orange as well. It tastes almost the same as it smells with a heavy Floral presence, mixed with pain and grapefruit. The ABV is 6.3% but you cannot detect any booze flavor. The Hop-heavy brew provides a great sensation after swallowing, coating the entire mouth, but mainly the back of the tongue and roof of the mouth, with that lovely pine flavor that I love. Overall, it is a very strong offering from Sweetwater and I would recommend you pick up a 6 or a 12 at your earliest convenience.

From notes 6/1/13: Pours an orange/amber gold producing a finger of white, chunky, moderately lasting head and nice clumpy lacing. Aroma is pine, citrus (particularly grapefruit), grass, some caramel with hints of black tea and roses. Taste has a low malt profile and sweetness, grapefruit and pine heavy hops. Starts and finishes bitter with a half sweet, peppery finish. Some sweet taste and syrupy feel in the finish and aftertaste.

Good solid AIPA. Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Nice hazy light amber color with a medium size foamy, bubbly white head. Head retention is about average but there is plenty of lacing on the glass. Aroma is sweet, beady malt, piney hops and a little grapefruit. Flavor is more of the same with a nice balance between the piney hops and the malt, The grapefruit/citrus kicks in at the back end. Good bitterness. Mouthfeel is crisp and somewhat bitter. A good balanced beer rather than a hops blast. This would be a great every day, go-to IPA in areas where it is readily available.

Not much on the nose
Piney and a little sweet on the finish.

Clear deep golden color with off-white head. Aroma has candied orange peel, hop resin and slightly nutty malt notes. Taste is quite bitter and medicinal up-front. Some citrus rind at first but then you only get the leafy bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. Quite unbalanced and flawed by some off-flavors.

Light honey amber in color. Head is off-white and foamy. Retention was minimal and no lacing.
The nose is tropical. Orange, lemon, a bit of pineapple and some piney bitterness. This one is very aromatic.
Bitter hops and citrus peelings. Absolutely delicious.
Mouthfeel is clean and smooth with great carbonation.
A solid IPA for sure.

Good looking beer, somewhat hazy orange color. Nice thick head. Very good aroma. Not overpowering hop aroma. It follows suit with the taste . Nice hop but not too strong. Makes for a nice creamy smooth IPA. I get citrus, oranges and maybe some lemon. I’ll look for this at home. On draft at Fish on Fire, Orlando.

Also easy to find at gas stations and such.
