Crisp, clear golden coloured body with a very thin, fast-dying white head and a touch of haze. Aroma of fresh herbal and very resinous hops with a good malt backbone and some sappy and piney finishes - a lot of hops in the nose, all in a very good way. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy, herbal and very resinous at first with a good tropical fruit finish, showing a nice and subtle amount of malt - very nice throughout. Aftertaste shows more hops than anything else - this is a nice west coast styled IPA from here on the East Coast, and you’d really never know - this is perhaps the first one I’ve had like that, and of course, I like it. Aftertaste is well rounded with the malt and hop well balanced, but he grassy, herbal and especially resinous hop notes dominate in a great way. Overall, a very nice IPA with a great flavour, superb profile and nice easy going complexity. Definitely worth grabbing if you can find this at all, and worth searching out for, especially if you like the style. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-December-2015 for US$1.61 sampled at home in Washington on 29-January-2016.

On tap at Pizza Boy pours a clear gold with a ring of creamy, white head. Nose has lemon, soap, grass, perfume. Flavor has lemon, grass, soap, perfume, light sweetness. Dry finish. Quite sessionable actually.

Strangeloves, Philadelphia tap: pours pale gold qith a white head. Aroma is pine and grapefruit. Taste is rather bitter. Quite fruity. Not very sweet. Well balanced and well done. Thin backbone.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy yellow color with a slight transparency about it. A one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about thirty seconds leaving some messy lacing roaming here and there.
The smell had a super big dank onion glossing over some light grassy tones.
The taste was sweet and spicy through the dank and onion qualities. A light sweet sticky dank onion quality reels right on into the aftertaste and lingers sweetly into a sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonated nicely and hits my tongue like an AIPA should. Bitter but not overbearing, bitter dank sweetness rolling over my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good AIPA that I would have again. PA’s hidden gem, quite possibly.
