From a 355ml bottle on 14/11/2014. Pours an almost clear darkish golden with a small uneven head. Has a curious burnt caramel aroma with some mineral notes as well. Take a sip and you get a fairly big caramel malt background, some sweet stone fruit, followed by some relatively firm, lingering piney hops, which feature a touch of spice at the end. Has a medium body and average carbonation. A decent but not altogether harmonious IPA.

A very dry aroma of citrus and honey. Heaps of hops in the mouth with a nice malt structure underneath. Good length, nice palate.

Bottle - Orange, caramel and woody hops. Clear copper with a decent white head. Caramel, woody and earthy hops. On the sweet side, but easy drinking.

Bottle. A- Hoppy, piney, caramel. A- Copper color, clear liquid, white head. T- Bitter, caramel, malty, citrus, piney. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- A pretty standard IPA in my view. It’s fairly smooth but there was nothing that wowed me with this one. Well balanced at least.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out some nice piney hops with a bready malt backbone. Flavour is very bready malt heavy, with almost a rye-like quality, with very moderate hoppiness. Seems more like a hoppy pale ale to me. All in all, well-balanced and drinkable, just nothing special.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has a golden orange colored body that gave a one finger white foamy spotty head that lasted for a good half minute before slowly dieing into the body. Some nice speckled yet spotty lacing appeared and slowly slid into the body. No carbonation was seen rising in the beer.
The smell has a strong floral and citrusy aroma to it with some slight maltiness trying to come out, but mostly staying subdued.
The taste took these flavorings with a slight bitterness.
The palate is about a medium with a decent balance between wet and dry on the tongue. This is a fairly sessionable beer.
Overall, I’d be happy to buy this again.

Poured from 355mL bottle. Clear, copper brown with off white head. Aroma of very bready malt mixed with some caramel malt and citrus and floral hops. Taste starts with just a mild malty sweetness, followed by a slight bland wateriness and finally and dry resiny finish. Medium body. Could use a little more complexity and boldness.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Central Market, 9/16/13, I'm not too happy I'm in Houston today, but if I have to be, might as well enjoy some beer.
Aroma: The nose is clean and hoppy, pine, resin, grapefruit, and some caramel as well
Appearance: It pours a clear rich orange color with a small lasting sheet of white head
Flavor: The flavor isn't anything crazy, just on-style and hoppy, mid-bitter and lightly sweet
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a crisp, clean feel, soft carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: Chalking up Montana ticks, this gets me to 3! This is a right on-style, tasty IPA. It isn't an amazing IPA, but it is a really really solid one. If I lived in Montanta I'd have no problem sessioning this on the regular.
