A - Served a clear golden-orange color with a finger of frothy white head. The head fades fairly quickly leaving behind some good lace.
S - Aroma is a mix of sweet caramel and biscuit malt with some pine hop and a touch of citrus.
T - Starts off with some sweet biscuit malt with a bit of caramel and a touch of pine hop and bitterness. Through the middle some more hop flavors comes through with a touch of lemon and a bit more bitterness and caramel. The finish is a mix of sweet malts with some citrus hops and light bitterness.
M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a crisp and sweet finish.
D - Very drinkable. Nice hop and malt balance with a good level of bitterness.

On-tap at Triple Rock
A: The pour is an amber-orange sort of color with a minimal off-white head forming.
S: Smells pretty fruity and a bit sweeter than I'd like an IPA to be. Some mild tropical fruit notes along with a mix of pine needles and resin. Even with a decent hop nose, it's pretty malt and not overly fragrant for an IPA.
T: Starts off with mostly grass and pine hops which provide a decent, but not outstanding bitterness. There really isn't much, if any, citrus or fruit note to speak of. The bready malts sort of run the show for the most part.
M: The body is medium and so is the carbonation. Not the usual dry or bitter finish.
D: Sort of a let down, especially after having tried many of the other Triple Rock beers.

On-tap at Beachwood BBQ, on Festivus,
A: Pours a deep gold with a medium soft head, spotty lace, nice looking IPA.
S: Clear West Coast IPA, hop dominated, pine with some pleasing Citra tropical fruit notes, pineapple, cantaloupe.
T: Very green and piney, Meyer sweet lemons with tangerine, pineapple, nice mix of hop flavours with nary a hint of malt.
M: Medium-bodied, long resinous aftertaste.
D: Weird to see an IPA as Festivus beer, but it's a good one, well worth a try if you're craving some hops in the winter months.
