Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark orange amber color with a huge fluffy orange- white head that lingered foreverand left great lacing. The aroma was fruity, citric and a bit tropical. The flavor was bitter and tangy with sour caramel, tobacco, pine and citrus. An odd presence underneath. Long finish. Medium body. Ok.

On tap at Taproom on 19th. Pours a hazy orange with medium frothy off white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is toasted malt and caramel. Medium mouth, bitter hop bite, caramel, resin finish, very good.

12oz bottle pours with a clear copper body that supports a dirty white head. The aroma offers up earthy herbal hops, a sliver of sweetened citrus and then a spiced sort of apple sensation. The taste starts with bitter pine and then pineapple hops rolling quickly into malt sweetened citrus. In the background bubbles plenty of lightly roasted malts, some biscuit malts and a dash of caramel malts. A little bitter and malty and lacking in balance.

Thanks Scott.
This was poured into a nonic pint.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange golden color with a slim white head that immediately dissipated leaving barely any lacing.
The smell had a decent amount of sweet blueberries intertwining with the bitter citrus hops. A light sweet pine enters and hangs nicely to balance it all out.
The taste was moderately bitter with a decent sweet blueberry to accompany the flavor. It has a decent malt base. There’s a semi-dry sweet blueberry aftertaste leading to just a dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed appropriately styled and came across as an EIPA.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good EIPA that I could have again.

New Beer Distributors, NYC 12oz ($2.25): Pours orange with a white head that leaves lacing. Aroma is spice and pine. Taste is spicy and metallic. I don’t think that this beer is past its prime or spoiled, but it tastes kind of bad. The hops are bitter and sharp. The malt is unsubstantial. The aftertaste is metallic.

12 ounce bottle from Wegman’s Lake Manassas, as "Spring Hornin." Pours a hazy amber color with a medium sized frothy offwhite head. Decent head retention. Aroma of caramel malt, herbal and citrus hops. The taste is bitter hops, floral, herbal, caramel malts. Medium bodied, high carbonation, moderate lingering bitterness, quite drinkable. Solid beer.

Slightly hazy deep golden full dense white head. Light malty aroma with floral hop notes. Lots of light sweetness in the flavor, soft wet palate and a little bitterness at the end. A bit under attenuated for an IPA i think.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 3/30/14
Aroma: The nose is soapy, with some lemon/citrus, caramel, grass, and metallic notes
Appearance: It pours a clear orange-golden color with a frothy off-white head and average lace
Flavor: The taste is in-line, mild sweet, medium bitter, with a fruity, metallic, and soapy finish
Palate: The body of this one is medium, it has a okay feel, and a long, dry finish
Overall Impression: This one just didn't work for me at all. There's probably an okay beer under the flaws, but I had trouble finding it. I didn't need a new IPA in my life that tastes like soapy metal. I promise.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 12/23/2013. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy orange amber color with a 2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of lemon zest, orange peel, pear, herbal, floral, grass, honey, biscuit, light caramel, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with well balanced malt and hop notes; with decent strength. Taste of lemon zest, orange peel, pear, apple, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, light pine, honey, biscuit, light caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fair amount of earthy floral/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon zest, orange peel, pear, apple, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, honey, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity of earthy/spicy hop flavors with a good amount of bready malt; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, crisp, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice IPA. Good balance and complexity of earthy/spicy hop and bready malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
