Taster at brewery. Medium golden pour, sparse head, streaky lacing. Piney, hoppy aroma with a dank edge. Taste comes in sticky, hoppy, piney, green. Pretty hoppy for an East Coast IPA.

Pours golden haze with off white foamy cal that sticks to the sides of the glass. Notes of citrus and grapefruit rind with floral and light orange and lemon overtones. Good IPA punch at 71 IBU’s abd 7.1% ABV. Good Malt Of The Earth Beerclub this month IPA brews.

Beautiful hazy burnt orange color with a dense white head, there are citrus aromas, along with a nice malt aroma on the nose.

The citrus (primarily oranges) is forward on the taste, and there’s a really nice malt component for balance in this nicely bitter old school IPA. I’d try this again.

My good friend and old neighbor from The 'wego gave me a bottle of this beer. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving a nice lace. The scent had strong floral and hemp hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with floral and herb spice presence. The mouthfeel is medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a decent beer.

There is a date stamped to the barcode on the bottle: "06.09.2020"

Appearance: The beer has a nice medium gold color with a slightly cloudy appearance. The head is medium and white with mostly dense bubbles and a few larger ones. It has some strings of lacing.

Aroma: It smells skunky.

Taste: Some lemon flavor. That skunky aroma makes it onto the tongue.

Mouthfeel: Bitterness feels alright. Carbonation is decent. Drinkability is low given the skunky character.

Overall: It's a pretty poorly made beer. I wouldn't recommend it or drink it again.

On tap at Extreme Pizza, pours with a generous head, plenty of lacing. I don't know why this isn't rated higher, it's a good solid ipa. Plenty of hops and bite, a bit cloudy, not overly bitter. People should buy this!

A good American IPA. Good hoppiness and effervescence. Slight bitterness on the sides of the tongue. Not overly hopped yet enough to have good flavor and not too heavy to enjoy on a hot day.
