Unfiltered American IPA. Tropical citrus aromas with a mildly sweet, malty flavor and balanced bitterness.

Got a 6r from a grocery no date. Mine tasted old. Lots of funk and unfilteredness floating like fish food more than any brew. Had nice bite and solid hop flavor tasted loads of cascade hops, classic ipa i would like to try fresh. I wonder if this is a don't tread on me flag thing questioning what brewer im supporting grandmaster war flag, lets see some im not racist beer next time, make me an lgbt ipa w citra and mosaic and put it in a can so no light hits it.

On tap at Burgerology, it pours hazy gold color with an off white head that left minimal spotty lacing. Smells and tastes pretty basic with caramel, sweet malt, floral hops, barley, toasted grains, crackers, some fruit notes and faint pepper or spices. Well balanced and more like an English IPA than American IPA. Overall an average IPA.

Great "everyday" IPA. However, is well above par for ipas. Taste is very fresh with a clear finish. Subtle fruit undertones.

Pours a clear gold color. One inch head of an off-white color. Great retention and good lacing. Smells of spicy hops, slight flora hops, sweet malt, piney hops, and alcohol. Fits the style of an American IPA. Mouth feel is smooth and clean, with an average carbonation level and noticeable bitterness. Tastes of alcohol, sweet malt, spicy hops, piney hops, slight floral hops, and a hint of tea. Overall, good appearance, blend, and not overly bitter, but lacking in aroma and complexity.
