Almost pale, nearly IPA. A bouquet of hop varieties to a complementary rich blend of malts. Highly drinkable with a nice balance between the flavor of its malts and the distinctive aroma of its hops.

Friend brought this over. Aroma is pleasant hop notes - some bitterness, earthy notes. Flavor is pretty easy to drink, but in this case it’s probably a problem. Mild hop flavor, earth, some light fruit, but mostly watered down notes unfortunately. Not the best beer for the cold of winter.

Someplace between an apa and ipa? Quite strong from the start but wanes a little as the session continues. Yes, certain hop bite fer sure. Nasty nellie roto rooter. Seems like much more than 4%, I’d say double that. Long bitter medicine finish. If you like IPA but don’t like the alky, this is fer U. Lots of flavor. Yes, nasty as any terribly on style IPA.

Bottle. This beer pours a medium gold with a slight haze and little head. Aromas are of lemon peels and cat pee... Cascades? Flavor is briskly hopped with just enough malt presence to make it alright. It’s a good all day beer in my book... Not too shabby for a light \"IPA.\"

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 1/16/13
Aroma: It has fairly hoppy nose: the hops are mostly resiny, fairly dank, with grassy and pine notes
Appearance: Pours a hazy golden-orange color with a small head and some sticky white lace
Flavor: Tastes lightly sweet, with a medium bitterness similar to the dank, resiny hops from the nose
Palate: The body is medium (leaning light), with a sticky, chewy feel, and a fairly dry finish
Overall Impression: This one was certainly better than I expected. There's some little flaws in there (just little one, but they kept the score from being higher). Overall though, I quite enjoyed this one. I'm very in favor of sessionable hoppy beers, and this is a solid one. Could be a great outdoor/tailgate beer.

Bottle shared at a tasting at LiBira Pub in Haifa. Hazy orange. Aroma of floral and fruity hops. Rather dry and bitter flavor with nice floral hoppiness. Medium-bodied.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. Pours a hazy golden color with small floating particles. Small foamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of big sticky, dank, resiny hops. Dark Horse’s "Smells Like Weed" IPA comes to mind here, for some reason. Caramel malts. The taste is pretty similar, intensely bitter resin and earthy hops. Kinda dank in the taste is well. Pale malts. Medium bodied. I like this quite a bit, which might be saying something about me. I’m sad I didn’t get a six pack. I’m glad I can still remedy that.
