Bottle. Pours clear pale golden, medium creamy white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is grass, grain, pine, hint of oranges. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter. Medium body. Not great - perhaps past its prime, but I did not sit on it.

Draft at Chuck’s CD. This is an interesting beer. Its more like an Imperial session IPA. Its not a session but its not a regular IPA. The malts are mild white bread and the hops are present but mild mix of rando hops. No bitterness to be felt, I am surprised the IBUs are close to 50. A floral hop note dominates but in the most laid back way possible. A cool hop treat.

Medium orange with a white head. Tropical citrus notes in the aroma with light candied fruit. Medium bodied. Flavor is juicy citrus fruits, sugary fruit, and a noticeable lack of any malt tones. A very clean, hop filled, citrus forward IPA. Finishes bitter and lasting. Very well done. An impressive IPA.

16.9 oz bottle. Aroma is this crazy funky hoppy thing; I’m getting seedy berry jam, grapefruit, latex, pine--very unique. Clear golden pour with a medium white lacy head with great retention. Taste isn’t as nice, but it’s still different than your average IPA. Medium bitterness, citrusy, earthy. A little thin. Really good overall.
