Bottle @ home, courtesy of alexsdad06. Big thanks, Brad! Pours a copper appearance with a nice, cream colored head. Plenty of Northwest hops in the nose. Quite a bit of pine, grapefruit, and juicy citrus from the hops. Pretty malty and strong flavor. Some booze. Moderate to high bitterness. Some cracker and toast from the malt. Pretty juicy. Quite a bit of bitterness on the finish. Not my favorite style of IPA but this isn’t all bad.

12 ounce bottle into shaker pint glass at Inkwell Pub in Margate, Florida. The pour is mostly clear golden copper with a smallish white head. Nice lacing left behind on the glass. The aroma is orange citrus, pine, resin bitterness and a nice base of toasted cereal grain malt. The taste is citrus (orange, lime, grapefruit) upfront, followed by pine bitterness and balanced with the malt. Crisp and fresh flavors. The palate is medium bodied, soft natural carbonation and a bitter finish with a hint of alcohol heat. Nice one, great recommendation from the bartender.

Rcvd in trade. Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a transparent somewhat golden/orange and slightly yellow colored body with a spectacular looking one finger white foamy head that once it starts dieing. The lacing is just so thick and clingy, nice show.
The smell has bitter hoppiness up front, primarily a nice combination of a citrus/pine-like substance of sorts, slightly spiciness of sorts plays nicely in the background.
The taste has a nice combination of a bittersweetness that plays very nicely with the spicy flavoring coming from the aroma, dry piney aftertaste and finish.
The palate has a nice light to medium body, and is fairly sessionable. Carbonation is great for an AIPA as a more than adequate sharpness invades my tongue and mouth.
Overall, I can see why so many people really like this one and if I could get it on a daily basis, I’m pretty sure I would too.

Thanks to Homer321 for sending two of these wl IPAs in our trade! Slightly hazy medium gold body with a huge sticky white head. Light pineapple hop aroma. Light but firm bitter hop flavor, nice long dry bitter finish.
