Wonderful golden colour with a head retention of a few seconds. The aroma is dank, piney and insanely inviting. Very dry overall, but not in an imbalanced way, with the lingering bitterness asking you to have another sip. Medium body. A delicious IPA that would be an excellent accompaniment to food. Thank you @jzeilinger

 

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass. Canned August 2nd 2022. Pushing it here for freshness but at least it was in the cold case.

Beautiful looking IPA. Deep amber bodied, with crystal copper colors and light appearances of carbonation. Off white head, definitely near the khaki yellow colored realm with simple classic three to four finger height. Lots of staying power, barely budging at all with massive retention. Just a great looking bold ipa.

Unfortunately hints of classic faded hops on the nose, with a soft caramel dominating and leafy touches of herbs, if a bit small on the nose. Still there's a nice floral pungency here, if understated.

Palate seems fairly old school. Touches of leafy sage like herbal hops, with a big emphasis on tea green flavors. Finish with soft caramel and more leafy like tea flavors and mild senses of bitterness. Mild touches of pine and earth in the finish.

Decent, but I think I might have missed the boat on this one. This definitely needs a revisit from me in the fresh future cause there is some quality in here.

 

 

A really good IPA, super hoppy, nice bitterness, a bit of a mango flavor to it.

 

It's a good ipa. Everyone in here poops their pants over an ipa. Lol. Beer snobs need their own place.

 

12oz can canned 4/12/22 into a pint glass.
L: Pours light yeast hazed medium caramel colored w/fair carbonation, a thick, rocky 3/4" off white head w/good retention, random light sticky lacing.
S: Lightly dank, grassy, oily, caramelized malts, hard candy.
T: Tangerine, citrus zest, a hint of berries, light honey, slightly earthy and grassy esp in the finish, well balanced sweetness/bitterness, hop forward and a bit dank.
F: Bright, crisp, medium bodied fluffy mouthfeel w/a pale medium length softly drying finish. It is lightly gritty.
O: A well grounded earthy and simple American IPA. Slightly dank in aroma & taste. 3 out of 10 on the Dank-O-Meter. Fairly easy drinking and very good in it's style.

12oz can served in a footed pilsner glass. Dated 03/22/22. Received from @ovaltine in shenanigans associated with NBS BIF #14.

Pours clear coppery amber with a big head and a little bit of visible carbonation. Smell is classic west coast, grapefruit rind and cut vegetation, maybe a little honeysuckle thrown in there for good measure.

Taste is very similar, though with more of an emphasis on that honeysuckle and a bit of a bite in the resinous bitterness. Very bright, very clean. Reminds me of fresh hops a LOT.

Mouthfeel is light and clean. This is a really good beer.

 

A beautiful golden with hints of orange, crystal clear; beautiful opaque white head with denser islands that linger; great and abundant splotchy lacing.

The smell this beer is to die for; it’s just so fresh smelling and pungent in the most glorious way. There’s an underlying subtle grainy malt; a huge huge waft of evergreen and tangerine like citrus note as well.

Taste doesn’t disappoint that beautiful nose; just super sappy refreshing pine, the underlying citrus is very rind like and the same grainy malt hiding in the background.

This beer is very easy to drink, great soft and creamy carbonation, huge bitter and clean dry finish. The bitterness is beautiful as it hits every where, back of tongue, roof of mouth; just all over.

Great American IPA; I could drink this beer forever.

This beer pours a beautiful golden color with suspended hop haze in the body, underneath a creamy oatmeal colored head that laces the glass nicely. The nose is rife with resiny pine, grapefruit, floral notes, and a bit of caramalt.

The caramalt is more substantial on the taste, and really balances the grapefruit and floral hop flavors, and especially all that resiny pine, which lends a nice bitterness to this flavorful, textured WCIPA.

The mouthfeel is very dry and medium, on point for the style. This would be a terrific “fridge IPA” if it was readily available to me.

 

 

Pours a clear copper with A finger of white suds. Good lacing and islands of foam throughout. Nose is sweet and tart citrus, bitter throughout and finishing dank and piney. Feel is full and chewy with plenty of body. Really good beer. Cheers.

 

Great IPA from an excellent local brewery. I reside in Columbus and choose to buy local or Ohio craft. With the IBU at 50, and the ABV at 6.3%, this is an excellent balanced IPA. Great tropical and grapefruit flavor. Tasty brew for any occasion!

This is one is suuuuuper basic to me, all the generic ipa flavors are there and it feels okay its just idk there's so many of these out there to choose from so idk how much I'd choose to buy packs of this. Great one to try but I think ill just stick with Bodhi

 

 

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has an orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of pine, a bit of citrus. Taste is the same as the aroma, dank, moderate to significant bitterness. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer, but I was expecting more.

 

 

Drinking this at The family reunion.
Poured from a can into a pint glass.
Looks orange, yellow with a nice white foamy head that dropped quickly to a very thin ring.
Smells lightly bready, citrusy, grapefruit, orange, sweet.
Taste follows the nose nicely with plenty of citrusy bitterness
Mouth feel is medium for the style.
Overall a very nice west coast citrusy IPA that I might order again.

Poured from a 12 oz can purchased from a gas station in Mansfield, OH. No birth date. Great cola brown color with lasting foamy head. Great hops taste with malty backbone. Solid, west coast style. Very good!

12 oz can into tulip glass
6 weeks after 5/4/2021 stamp

L: clear, golden orange
S: wonderful grapefruit and pine notes
T: hops galore, pine, citrus, dank, nicely balanced with malt backbone, slightly bitter
F: slightly resinous, easy drinking
O: solid west coast style IPA

Bottom of can is stamped 4/13/21. I have no idea what that means.

Body is a nice shade of pale orange with some particulates floating about. Not terribly active carbonation, but the bubbles that do develop are quite large. Not sure what that means, but it looks neat. Fluffy white head leaves rather substantial lacing. Nice looking beer. Lots of pine and citrus on the nose. Grapefruit and oranges in particular. They're not beating me over the head or anything, but it's nice. Taste follows the nose, but is well-balanced with malty sweetness. Medium bitterness level, but it lingers like a motherfucker. It's like I just ate raw grapefruit. There's also a bit of an earthen note on the back of the palette as well. Medium-bodied with a silky soft smoothness that makes this an easier sipper than it should be. Very competently made beer overall, but that lingering bitter burn does hamper things a bit.
