12 oz bottle served in a lager glass.
Clear amber body with a decent white head. The head leaves plenty of lacing on the glass.
The aroma is a mix of fruity hops, pine, spices and baked grains.
The flavor pretty much follows the aroma. The hops are fruity without being very citrus.
Mouthfeel: good carbonation and medium body.
Overall - certainly OK for the price point.

Pours golden amber with a thick head, tons of bubbles
Smells sweet, alcoholic, and hoppy with floral notes pronounced
The taste is well balanced in hops with alcohol being fairly detectable but not in a bad way
Feel is well carbonated and just a bit burny
Overall an utterly fantastic IPA for the price (1.75 a pop here)

Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass. The appearance is a slightly cloudy golden color with a small white head. The aroma is bitter hops. The taste follows the nose.

Avail. at Elkton. A good solid West Coast style, w/o being "too much". I'll certainly get this again.

Looks copper and bronze. Cloudy. Head dissipates quickly.
Smells weak. A little grassy.
Tastes like tropical pine trees. I'm picturing pineapples growing on pine trees. A little soapy towards the end.
Feels full, but a little oily.
Overall, not bad. Nothing game changing, but not bland either.

Amber color with a thick head with short retention.
Delicious tropical aroma with notes of mango, pineapple juice, lots of guava, passion fruit and some pine. After I taste it the smell went away.
Flavor with notes of pine, grapefruit, sour guava, spices, resin, flowers, lychees, green pear and orange peel. Dry and bitter aftertaste with a piney finish.
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
That was unexpected interestingly, nose was very tropical at first but mouth was piney and resiny. I don’t get it the wider range of reviews opinions, maybe I got a very fresh exemplar.
