Bottle at brewpub. Clear golden with a small creamy head. Aroma is malty with a slight hop character. Taste turns over to the hops, crisp and bracing. Clean.

12 ounce bottle from a grocery store in Green Bay. Sadly I can't remember which because fuck them... even though I bought this last week is clearly says best by 12/30/2017. Today is April 8th, 2019. Wasn't gonna rate it but it actually has held up well and will get a decent score. Slightly hazy amber, thin frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of floral, leafy, candied citrus, pale malt. Taste is citrus, grapefruit, leafy hops. Medium bodied, low carb, lingering bitterness. Some signs of age, but still good, and will look for this fresh because it has held up very well. Almost wondering if this wasn't best by 12/30/2018 and the brewery made the mistake. Oh well, just happy its good enough I can rate it fairly.

From Dec 2006
Poured from 12oz bottle(room temp) a clear medium gold with a large head of foam that shrank slowly and left a solid layer with lacing.
The smell has a really nice hoppy nose to it. Nice notes of grapefruit and some floral tones dominate. More sniffing pulled out a touch of malt...
The taste is big on the grapefruit up front followed by a good injection of sweet malt to somewhat control the hoppiness. Nice balancing job! A few more sips into it, the balanced flavours are more pronounced making for a real treat for my palate. The finish is on the dry side making for a real crispness. The only bad thing I can say is that it's kind of thin body wise but it's still a nice IPA.
Bottom line: A well balanced American IPA that I'd have no hesitation drinking again and again. Highly reccommended!
Thanks to Wasatch for this excellent IPA. It's a winner!

Hazy golden coloured body with a bright light bronze coloured body and a touch of an orange tint. Aroma of citrus, resin, alcohol and a nice smooth malt note - strong. Medium-bodied; Sweet flavour of honey, grain, citrus, pine and a good bit of floral elements- nice and smooth throughout the flavour. Aftertaste shows some rich sweetness, a bit of honey and caramel with a nice hop flavour of flowers, grapefruit and light herbal notes with some residual alcohol and bitterness. Overall, a nice IPA with a smooth flavour and lightly bitter flavour that goes down easy and shows some nice characteristics. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Cash Wise Liqours in Minot, North Dakota for US$1,99 on 04-October-2016 sampled a day later in my hotel room here in Minot, North Dakota on 05-October-2016.

Chris brought this one for me from a trip to Utah. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright yellow-gold color with a huge foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet and fruity with notes of mango, papaya, pine and honey. The flavor was sweet and tangy with sugar, mango and papaya elements. Long finish. Medium body. Solid.

bottle - Pours orange with a large dense head and has a good grapefruit hop aroma. The flavor is moderate to high bitterness with citrus and some up front malt sweetness. It’s medium bodied with fine carbonation and overall a very solid IPA.

12oz bottle from Georgio’s Liquors, Billerica, MA, ABV 6.5%. Amber with a creamy head; the aroma has caramel and spicy hops; the taste is similar with the herbal hops offsetting the sweetness of the caramel nicely; before a dry finish, with some resinous hops and warmth in the background. Rather good and certainly English in style, but reminding me of a good ESB rather than an IPA.
