Can. Pours a coppery amber with a thin head of suds and aromas of silo grain dust and a little floral hops (maybe?). Flavor is malt heavy with a bit of bitterness that seems more amber ale and less IPA, but what do I know? It's a fair enough beer, but the color, aroma and flavor don't work as an IPA unless you are in England.

Tap at Bar Symon, Dulles Airport, Virginia. Color is clear orange with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Some fruits, pine, some hints of caramel, spices, spruce, some herbal elements, perfume, some hops and malts. Weird herbal IPA.

Canned at SBWF. Clear deep golden, small head. Grapefruity nose with odd notes of Gruyére cheese. Mid dry with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Crisp bread, apricots and citrus. Piney resinous bitter finish.

Can, many thanks Savino! Rather clear copper-golden color with white head. Aroma is piney, toasted malts, fudge, toffee. Taste is the same, piney, resinous, very eastcoasty. Oily mouthfeel, sticky forest floor, low to medium carbonation. Ah, a classic East Coast IPA in times of Haze, and it's good!...

Can, courtesy of SinH4. Pours almost clear amber with a medium head. Aroma is forest floor, pines, resin, toasted malts. Body is medium, healthily sweet and really bitter, low but lively carbonation. Nice sweet backbone, but still super bitter. Almost light on the palate. No tropical fruit at all, really unusual these days. I like!

Popped open a car from Total Wine, South Richmond, while being disgusted with humanity. Pours murky orange. Small off-white head. Overly resiny aroma - I know I’m not going to like this, and it seems fitting. Flavor is resin, pine, grapefruit peel, caramel malt, licorice, dirt. Yea, don’t care for it. It tastes like little thought was put into it.

Tap at Bar Symon at Dulles. Pours copper with a beige head. Aroma is piney/citrus. Med body at least. Flavor is strong pine/citrus with a roasty malt character making me think of a best bitter on steroids. Good ale.
