Prehistorically hopped Imperial India Pale Ale that attacks the senses with potent notes of Papaya, Mango, and Peach- yet it finishes its prey (your palate) with a crisp clean citrus bitterness.

Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, herbal and mild oregano tones with a bit peachy tones. Flavour is mango, papaya and some floral, herbal and mild biscuity tones. Quite sweet aftertaste.

I can't stand these disgusting diesel onion IPAs. 5 months on it probably didnt help anything. Gross vegetal and fusel grossness. Gas station IPA...really vile in the shape I had it.

Can for 1$ off clearance sale shelf. Pour is big pale bad ass hazy IPA, appears a bit viscous. Really thick head that goes craggy and hangs. Nose is medium sweet cloying odor. First big swig is not really lousy, like most impy IPA (JMHO) but it is an impy IPA fer sher. Whew, a big fat wack wrecking my face. Mostly thick flat and oily on the palate. Hoping the alky content starts to take over before I get disgusted with this over the top bitter hoppy brew. Never could get used to the IPA, especially the impy doubles. I guess my beer taste will never mature, even after 5000 brews. I'll tick these bastards, especially if they're cheap, like this one; but have yet to find only a few of the IPA style that tickle my fancy. Yea, this one does not rise to the top IMHO, and it comes across in the finish as a brassy, cheap, flashy, garish, gaudy, gimcrack. It's so glitzy, loud, meretricious, tacky, tatty, tawdry and anything but tasteless IPA. So lacking in aesthetic or social graces of taste. There you have it; a cheap macro lager lover's impression of a terribly on style well made IPA. At least I think its making my senses slightly dull at the bottom of the can.

Hazy amber with a huge foamy head that lingered and left great lacing. Bitter, tangy and citric with a bit of stone fruit and tropical fruit. Long finish. Medium body.

Can supplied by Rhinegeist for my comment. A pulpy tropical fruit smell under the tab. Hazy gold color under some white frothy foam. The taste has rich and fruity hop notes, with a nice backing of toasty malts and alcohol. But that doesn't get in the way of drinking it as quickly as I might want. Only trouble with rating this while grilling dinner is that I have none left to enjoy WITH dinner.

Odd, offering up lots of pineapple and mango and mandarin, but also giving off strong chive notes that clash with the fruity sweetness, underlined by a buttery, diacetyl-laced backbone. Never pulls together as a cohesive pint; buttered fruit and onions aren't what I want in an IPA.

12 oz. can. I don't think that it "attacked my senses" and the can is only 45 days old. Shows a nice clear golden appearance. Aroma shows weak mango, mild orange, and subtle malt. After letting it warm I found mild mango, weak melon, and light bready malt. Body is light and hop bitterness is low. After spending some time away from this brewery, I decide to give them another crack. I find it still very mediocre at best. Maybe I am missing something with this brewery. Nothing wrong with this said beer but......
