A great blend of an normal ale taste with a fruity under tone. Not too much but its definitely there and noticeable. And has a good amount of ABV for an american ale. The fruityness off sets the higher alcohol content. Definitely worth a try and is quite highly praised in my local liquor store.

Very flavorful beer here. It's a solid IPA and a bang for you buck!! Don't be turned off by the fish artwork. It's a great tasting iPA. Really smooth/ easy to drink. ABV is decent 7% also. The NOSE is very citrusy. Taste is traditional IPA with the citrus and a hint of malt. I highly recommend this beer!!!

Really mellow IPA. Clean taste not quite as good as as PA Phantasmo... but a very close challenger. A more subtle type of IPA IMO, but nice nonetheless.

Pours a uniform very slightly hazy golden orange colour with a tall fizzy head which dies down to little rather quickly. Some light lacing during drinking. Aroma is of grassy & fruity hops with some sour malt blended in. Taste is better as I was expecting too much sour malt after the aroma. An even blend of mild citrus, grassy hops, sweet caramel malts and just a touch of pine. Grapefruit lingers on the finish. Mouthfeel is full & quite smooth & is perhaps the best part of this beer. In the end, a solid IPA I've been wanting to try which doesn't strike me as something I'll need to seek out, but would gladly have again.

On tap at the Maryland Mallet Smokehouse and Pub in Westminster, MD. Perfectly golden to light amber in the glass, with a nice head of foam and tiny bubbles rising inside. Piney hops in the nose, with a hint of biscuity sweetness on the tongue, follwed by a very well balanced malt body and spicy pine and citrus. A slight bitterness rounds out the flavor for one of the best IPAs out there, IMHO. It paired well with the BBQ and the seafood on the table, too. Very nice!

Pours a cloudy gold with a nice thick head. Minimal hoppiness and quite smooth. Some grapefruit and some pepper. Feel is excellent with just the right amount of carbonation. A very good beer. Give it a try.

Somewhat dark orange color that is slightly hazy with a 2 finger silky head. Fruity aroma with some malt peeking through. Taste is peppery with a citrus flavor - lemon I guess - mixed with a moderate malt as a base. Feel is crisp and a little sticky. Refreshing and clean but be forewarned that is peppery.
