12oz bottl.e Slightly hazy lightish tan body. Not much of a head, fades into an oily residue pretty fast. Pretty standard NW IPA, which isn’t a bad thing. Cleanish bright biscuity, crackers golden malt. OK.

Copper with a white head. A good amount of sweet malts, candied citrus fruit, and some light earth. A basic IPA and there is nothing wrong with that.

Bottled, orfinary gold color. Nothing new here bit a solid ipa. Well balanced with malt and pine flavors but also modeately sweet malt., not sweet like two hearted for example, bit aftertaste is a combination of sweet malt and dry pine.

Pours a orangeish-gold, with middling head. Grassy aroma, with some hops. Flavor is grassy, with hop-pine bite and some citrus. Lots of carbonation in this one. Not the greatest IPA to ever walk the earth...

This was poured into a pint glass numerous times, always the same.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange to yellow color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about thirty seconds leaving a light lacing sticking and then sliding down into the beer.
The smell had a decent sweet to bitter citrus rind and caramel malts running in and out of each other, (separated from each other).
The taste was basically the same. Bitterness doesn’t seem to blend with the malts. The aftertaste is caramel sweet to light citrus. It leaves a semi-dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation comes across fairly harsh and the bitterness shows its face slightly.
Overall, I say this was an okay AIPA, better in the taste, but wishing the aroma smelled together.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours coppery gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is complex hop - mixed evergreen and grass and ? Med body or so. Flavor is grassy, mildly spicy, arguably evergreen hop over a decent, but submerged, malt backbone. There’s a persistent aroma that makes think cactus, but what do I know from cactus? Finishes towards dry and nicely bitter. I like it.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks zvikar. Clear golden. Aroma of citric hops, somewhat stale. Flavor of citric hops, kinda stale, and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied. OK, but not too fresh.
