This was a standard IPA, very bitter and golden in color. It was very hoppy and a little too strong for my liking. I usually am not a fan for IPA's so probably why I didn't enjoy it as much, but it had a well rounded flavor too it.

If you like IPA you will like it because It isn't too strong smell. It is easy to swallow it.

The Lucky Girl IPA was pretty average. It was a very traditional IPA. It had notes of hops, fruits, especially citrus. Decently priced, but wouldn't go out of my to buy it.

A very typical and standard IPA. Much like the other beers of this company, I would call it 'drinkable' but very sub-par.

The hops were present but not very enjoyable. Notes of citrus were present to the nose but did not come through very much on the palate.

Pretty average IPA nothing too special. Spelt good because of the hoppy notes. Wouldn't go out of my way to drink again but would drink it if it was free.

This beer is very good when it is poured into a glass. I highly suggest doing that. First aromas were hops and darker flavors but then came more citrus and pine flavors that made te beer more pleasant. The beer tasted like a darker IPA at first but then the other lighter hoppy and citrus flavors came into play to make the beer more enjoyable.

At first pour the color was orange / yellow and cloudy. The aroma consisted of citrus (lemon and orange), apple, floral, and pine. The taste of the beer was extremely bitter and tasted very much of citrus (lemon and orange)

Was an okay beer. At the start of opening it there was a lot of foam and the beer appeared somewhat cloudy and a deeper color than expected. There were aromas of pine and floral and the taste was similar. Initially there was a nice amount of pine, but the aftertaste was pretty bitter and somewhat floral or earthy. Still and enjoyable beer, but wouldn't be my first choice.

This was a tough beer, rough taste that put some hair on my chest. The taste didn't linger but put a smile on my face.

To my tasting, the beer did not appeal to me. The appearance was orange and very cloudy. The Aroma of the beer had a variety of smells. The aroma consisted of citrus (lemon and orange), apple, floral, and pine. The taste of the beer was extremely bitter and tasted very citrusy (lemon and orange) as well as apple. The aftertaste of the beer was very tart and bitter. Overall, I would not drink this beer on an everyday bases, but I am not an IPA fan.

The IPA has a very nice golden yellow color to it. The smell is very different (sweet, fruity) than to the taste that just didnt hit hit it with me. It seems to be very bitter, and has a weird aftertaste. Overall I would get this once in a while. It's not as bad as other beers I've tasted.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy deep golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon zest, orange peel, pear, apple, pepper, pine, cracker, bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/pine/earthy hops with moderate pale malt and fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon zest, orange peel, pear, apple, pepper, pine, cracker, bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Good amount of piney/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, cracker, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine/earthy hops with moderate pale malt and fruity yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and moderately sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice English IPA. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine/earthy hops with moderate pale malt and fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
