bottle, rating from 2016 - Pours lightly hazy gold, smells mainly of citrus accented hops. The flavor has a tasty, intense bitterness with citrus and pine notes and some bready malt sweetness providing some balance. Easy to drink and enjoyable.

Fairly clear golden coloured body with a light copper tint and a thinnish, single centimetre tall pure white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of grass, light hops, some funk and caramel and a large biscuity and cardboardie malt character. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and herbal hop elements throughout with a noticeable biscuity and grainy malt flavour along with some caster sugar and lightly caramelised sweetness at the tail end. Aftertaste shows some subtle hop bitterness, but mostly a grassy flavour along with some biscuits and yeast characters that are noticeable. Overall, a decent beer that shows a slightly lighter side of an IPA along with a grassy and herbal kick with a little less hop bitterness than expected. I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 21-January-2017 for US$2,25 sampled at home in Washington on 20-April-2017.

On Tap light hazy golden. Fine white head and persistent lacing. ale light malts, somewhat cerealy. Just enough hop to balance. Very light, barely an IPA

Very pale golden orange with a white head. Medium candied tropical fruits with light toasted malt. Overall, it’s very muted and slightly disappointing. If this were around 4% abv I’d be all for it but at nearly 6% it just isn’t doing it for me. I’m not sure what SN thought they added to their portfolio with this but I’m pretty sure the answer is nothing.

Nice refreshing and easy drinkable IPA.
A fine clear golden color with a lasting white head. Solid lacing. A pale malt dominated ale. Also mild citric hoppy and mild fruity. Medium body and a fine carbonation. Mellow sweetness and a fine bitterness. Nice and well balanced ale.

Bottle. Orange malt and pine/spruce aroma. Golden yellow with large off-white head. Sweet orange/mango, malt and moderately bitter pine flavor. Good body. Pretty good.
