Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is fruity/floral hops and pilsner malt. Taste is fruity; with pineappple, orange, mango, & peach. Nice grassy bitterness from the hop profile. Pretty smooth for 9 ABV. Medium carbonation with a slick, oily mouthfeel and a slightly sweet finish. Very Nice!

12 oz. bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a medium white head. Nose brings out wonderful floral hops upfront, with some pine and dry biscuity malt. Flavour matches accordingly, with loads of piney and floral hops out front - and only a light dry zesty crisp biscuity malt backing. Exactly my kind of IIPA: dry, piney and crisp. Wonderful stuff.

12oz bottle pours with a nearly clear copper body that supports a thin off white head. The aroma offers up a mix of pineapple, grapefruit and cantaloupe as well as spicy onion and floral hops and then more pineapple. The taste is both bitter with citrus and pineapple as well as juicy. Yes. Toward midway some resiny notes mix with spicy onion like hoppy goodness as well as some flavor hops. This has a pleasing blend of hops. Nice approachable IIPA.

Bottle. Completely clear orangish / yellow color with some lasting head retention. The aroma is really pleasant. Plenty of citrus fruit with mild pine and nice floral notes.
The flavor starts mildly sweet with a good bready chewy type malt. The sweetness is here but doesn’t take over at all. This bad boy is all about the hops. Starts fruity (lots of lemons and oranges) and turns into lightly dank, green hops. Scallions and lightly herbal and peppery. In the finish just a tone of pine. Just a great array of hop flavors. The mouthfeel is lightly effervescent with the alcohol totally hidden in the flavor. This was a fresher bottle and was a very nice surprise because I am very picky about bottled IPA’s. Would love to re- rate if I come across this on draft, well above average. A winner!
