Poured a semi-dense golden orange body with decent one-finger head. The aroma has notes of mild citric. Smooth, clean, yet retains a bitterness that contains earthy dryness and the finish is acidic which makes for a slow sipper.

Very nice beer. More pucker than juice.

On tap at Brick Works in Millsboro, DE.
This one pours a fairly golden yellow color, with a small head, and a bit of lacing.
This smells like grapefruit, pine, mango, and pineapple.
This is solid, if a bit basic. I want a bit more crispness and a bit more bite - it falls flat a little bit on the back end. There is a pretty solid juicy hop character, though.
This is light bodied, clean, but not quite crisp enough. It's drinkable anyway.
I think this could get dialed in further and be much better.

Golden amber with a nice head. Has a piney, citrus aroma that is somewhat fruity. The taste is a nice combination of fruity, citrusy hops. The feel is light to medium. Not very heavy. A decent example of an American IPA. Feel bad about the one review. I have literally been there 50 times and have not experienced anything like his comments.

One of the worst IPAs I have ever tasted. It actually looked and smelled pretty decent. Then it hit my mouth. Horrible. Tastes like dishsoap. And. It was definitely not from the glass, it was the beer. Strongly recommend avoiding this one.
