A hoppy attitude and a mouthful of dynamic flavors give this IPA a big personality. Assertive, fruit-forward hops with aromas of orange blossom and pineapple mingle with flavors of wet pine and sweet malt with a dry finish.

355ml Bottle at Our Black Heart. Clear amber colour, white head. Aroma of caramel, floral citrus, pine, something strangely herbal and spicy, ground clove or nutmeg-like. Flavour is medium sweet, caramel, resin, pine, herbal and spicy, light floral, hippy bitter finish. Medium bodied. Decent stuff.

12 oz. can at Greg & Jane’s Epping, NH. Aroma is citrus and pine with some mild caramel. Taste shows the malty caramel with a citrus and pine hop bitterness. Medium bodied with normal carbonation level. A tad to much caramel sweetness.

Overall, I guess it is fine. No flaws whatsoever. But I am searching how this is any different from 75,000 other single IPA’s available on the market. Run of the mill.

Not bad, nice fresh ad bright citrus nose,hint of tropical fruit. Dry bread malts. Just a bit big, hop flavorings a little harsh, a little too bitter.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy bronze body with a medium off-white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and caramel. Flavour of orange and pine. Medium body with an oily texture. Light fizz. Quite pleasant but ultimately forgettable.

Keg at Sedona, 6/23/16. Hazy amber, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of earth, grapefruit, pale malt. The taste is grapefruit, lime zest, caramel malt. Thin, a little muddled.

Draught @ Kitty’s. Pours orange with a thick white head. Aroma of caramely malts, pine, citrus, grass and aged hops. Taste is sweet, malty and caramely with some sticky notes, citrus, aged hops, grass and pine. Finish is sweet, malty and caramely with some grapefruit, lemon and citrus. Doesn’t feel very fresh.
