Bottle from Grocery Outlet. Gusher. Not a good sign. Hazy amber body, huge foamy head. Aroma is malty and bready, strange for an IPA, taste brings in the hops like a smack in the face, sharp and metallic. Not balanced at all. Finishes fast with a lingering metallic taste. First turn was a wrong turn....

Bottle, picked up at Brewer’s Haven… just can’t seem to make it down to the brewpub so far. Good looking pour is dark copper with a finger of creamy beige head, lots of lacing throughout. Aroma is a little malty sweet, minor florals, overall mild. The flavor profile is sweet and malty with a twinge of floral bitters. I’d have to agree with the other local raters… this needs to be reworked or scrapped. On the plus side I really like the bottle and label design.

On tap at bier thirty. Pours out a crisp golden copper topped with a sand head. Nose is light floral and perfume hops some sweet malts. Taste is very bitter pithy grapefruit some odd malts. Well first turns not so. Maybe second turn will be better.

On Tap at the 2015 Hoptober Freshtival, Boise ID Slightly hazy light golden amber. Small quick light tan head. Sharp aggressive bitterness. Not a lot of fresh classic west coast hop flavor. clean and well attenuated. More of a woody bitterness.
