16oz can from Brewers Haven. Nice use of the Citra hops. Grapefruit aroma and taste throughout. Small white creamy head, moldly acidic and bitter finish.

Can't believe I have not reviewed this yet.
Pours a clear darker gold color. Small off white head.
Floral and citrus hoppy aromas mainly.
Taste similar. Lots of citrus. Orange peel, lemon zest and grapefruits.
Lovely well carbonated mouth feel.
Does not seem Ike 7%. Went down fast.
Excellent and very drinkable.

On-draught @ Horse Brass Pub, Portland.

C / AVERAGE

Pours without much of a head. Look is a gorgeous glowing gold that’s almost hard for me to take my eyes off of; normally a beer’s color isn’t something I pay a huge amount of attention to, but this one finds a perfect balance of haze and color to achieve the look of an unpolished gold bar. Anyway, smell is light citrus, floral hops, honey, and lemon. Taste follows; light pine, citrus hops, lemon, honey sweetness. Feel is crisp and finish is moderately dry.
It’s a simple beer, but it does it’s thing quite well. I’d describe it in one word as... pleasant. A nice little surprise. One of the better IPAs I’ve had in a while.

12oz canned 1/28 pours a clear gold into a nonic; fluffy white head. Snappy lemon and grapefruit aromas mix with a mellow but present malt sweetness bordering on caramel or toffee, with a hint of piney cedar and mint. More coconutty on the palate with a zingy grapefruit flavor and lemony/citrus peel, more light bready sweetness, smooth mouthfeel on a medium-bodied brew with some dryness. Overall a really decent IPA.

Look: Rich amber color resides under a nice, 1-finger, pillowy, white head that recedes leaving good lacing
Aroma: Apricot, peach, honeydew melon, some orange and grapefruit notes, strawberries, some pine and dank notes emerge. Some malt in the background but it’s all hops here
Taste: Follows nose but I get piney and dank up front, then joined by citrus and finished with some tropical fruit. Malt joins the fiesta and mingles in nicely, keeping this one full bodied and balanced. Good bite and pretty dry on the finish. Tasty stuff here
Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation - a little slick but not oily. Silky as well but the dryness keeps the palate finish sharp
Overall: Another tasty IPA from on of my favorite breweries and sadly, the only one I hadn’t tried yet from their lineup. For me, it’s hard to top my favorite (their Pallet Jack IPA) but this is really well done, super tasty, and dangerously drinkable for

 

Clear golden with two fingers of cream color head. Rings of lace appear as the head drops.
Smell is pungent floral hops with minor malts.
Taste is floral dank resinous hops with just barely enough malts.
Mouthfeel is light to medium with good carbonation. Finish is dry and bitter.
Overall a tasty WCIPA. No date seen. Pretty fresh probably. First time I have seen a BB product outside of a keg.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Golden amber, mostly clear. Thin, bubbly, white head with streak lacing. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruit and some stone fruit. Very big hops flavor with similar characteristics of the aroma. Juicy and resinous, medium body, & overall an very good beer.
