L: Translucent nearly opaque dark orange, lots of bubbles and a fluffy somewhat lingering head and lacing.
S: Typical IPA citrus/grapefruit pith hop with some toasted malt.
T: Astringent piney resiny hops are prominent. The toasty malts make for a nice balance. Medium bitterness.
F: Thick and foamy/oily mouth feel, really coats your mouth. It's a bit drying.
O: Enjoyable and very similar to other highly rated beers of this variety.

Pours bright orange with a patchy, chunky head that lasts forever. Citrusy hops and caramel, toasty malts in the nose. Subdued grapefruit and tropical hop notes in the taste. Lots of malt almost overwhelms the delicate hop profile. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with light carbonation. Light bitterness and lingering maltiness in the finish.

An OK IPA, but the hops are anemic. Worth a try if you like them maltier.

Looks great, pours a nice dark orange with a two finger head. Lots of hops minus the bitterness. I wasn't expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised.

Not a bad effort from this small brewery. I found the hops a little muddled but very prominent. . The appearance was nice and all in all it was enjoyable.
