Pints on tap at Wussow's Concert Cafe in Duluth, MN.
L: Pours a medium yellow to light gold color with a thin white head that recedes to edge froth, medium-light carbo, random sticky lacing.
S: Hoppy, a blend of semi-tropical fruits, caramelized malts.
T: Fruity, pineapple, a citrus mix, light lemon, a hint of white grape skin, light caramelized malts, a note of pine resin. It is gently bitter overall and has a light linger.
F: Fairly smooth medium to med-light bodied with a medium-long lightly drying finish.
O: Very easy drinking and quite tasty. It has a nice balance and blend of fruity tastes and lightly bittersweet malts and hops to round it out. I hope to have this beer again. It is very good to excellent in its style.

Can. White head with a lot of lace. Golden yellow color. Cloudy.
A nice mix of berries, citrus, and some dank, weedy hops. A touch of resin. Floral. Mango and orange. Slightly bitter finish. This is a really solid ipa with a nice mix of flavors.

Pours a lighter golden color. Semi hazy. There was a white head when poured from the growler, but the retention wasn't great.
The nose is nice and citrusy. I also get some peach in the nose. Quite tropical smelling.
Taste - the hops are king in this beer. Mango, pineapple up front. On the backside there's a hint of pine. I also get just a hint of peach mixed in it.
The body is decent. It has a crisp feel. There's also a bit of a pop from the carbonation.
Solid and refreshing IPA, that has a summer, tropical feel.

This was one of two IPA's I tried while in Bemidji. Poured from the tap, dark yellow/orange color with two finger head. The grapefruit/citrus/pine smell just about jumps out of the glass. The taste backed up those smells, very strong pine and citrus.
This was a stronger IPA style than I usually drink, I had a hard time finishing it. Which is why my taste numbers are lower than the other numbers. Admittedly, this is not a style I usually drink, which makes this a tough review for me since those who would enjoy a strong IPA might think this is one of the best they've had and would score the taste much higher.
