This is not an ipa. Very odd clove type taste. Not good.

 

Aroma is pine, yeast and very big fruit/grapefruit zest. The flavor is fruit/citrus, malts, mild tropical fruit and a slightly sweet/grapefruit hop finish.

 

Pours a light gold/yellow with medium carbonation. Lots of fruity hops/citrus on the nose, taste is much the same. One of the better balanced session IPA's i've run into.

 

 

A-Pours a hazy amber color with a nice head and lacing
A-Aroma has citrus and hop hints
T-The taste follows the nose with a citrus and hop flavor
M-A medium bodied well carbonated beer
O-A good India Pale Ale

 

 

 

 

A: Pours a very hazy pale golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate peach + apricot colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense sudsy foamy white head that slowly reduces to a couple of small to medium sized patches of thin film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy tropical/papaya, floral, citrus/mandarin orange/tangerine, and dank resinous hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of grainy + biscuit malts with a light amount of sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of grainy + biscuit malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical/papaya, floral, citrus/mandarin orange/tangerine, and dank resinous hops which impart a minimal amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving juicy hop flavors lingering through the finish.

M: Slightly heavier than light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp upfront with a slightly fluffy mid-body and a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Very enjoyable and very easy to drink with well hidden alcohol. The mouthfeel is more traditional IPA than session IPA as there is none of the thinness I associate with a lot of session IPAs. Really enjoyable hop profile.

Foggy orange with a foamy white head that sticks around as a ring. Spicy hop dankness, weed, and green herbs with a vague citrusy note underneath. Flavor has a continued spicy greenness - orange and grapefruit zest, light mango, peppery herbs, and a hint of grain. Light, fluffy, dry feel. Nice, drinkable, refreshing spicy/green hop juice.

Appearance: Arrives cloudy and the color of a peach; a whipped egg white head caps and stocks leaving copious lacing

Smell: Floral, with papaya and peach tones

Taste: Papaya, peach, nectarine and plum forward, with juicy mandarin orange building; modest bitterness and a fruity finish

Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate to high carbonation

Overall: Packs a lot of flavor into a 4.5% beer; great mouthfeel, too
