A Northwest interpretation of a classic English style, golden copper in color and loaded with New World hop flavor and aroma. Extremely drinkable.

Into a SA Perfect Pint showing honey gold and moderate filtration with a finger of white foam. The nose shows a lot of sweet malts and a hint of pine. Medium bodied and evenly carbonated, a lot of sweet malts on the mid palate and barely perceivable hoppy IPA bitterness at the end that seems to only grow at the finish. Not sure if I picked up an off bottle, but for an IPA this a lot maltier and sweeter than I expected.

On tap at Dig Bar. A light orange-gold with a malty fruity aroma. Medium to full bodied. The taste is a very clean malty caramel with citrusy hops and a dash of floral notes. Exceptionally well balanced, not so complex but it won’t disappoint.

Draft pour. Pours a copper color with a lasting head to it. Bitter hops on the aroma. Some orange on the flavor, and decently hoppy throughout. I’ve had this beer a few dozen times and still really enjoy it. Solid beer.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking somewhat transparent golden yellow to orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated and left a nice speckled look to spread and leave a spider web fashion of sorts.
The smell had a really nice bittersweet citrus to somewhat of a grapefruit aroma.
The taste was mainly bittersweet with a backup by some sweet caramel malts.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was right on par for an AIPA, just harsh enough.
Overall, this was a pretty good AIPA well worthy of having again.

Bottle from BrewDog Online. It pours clear orange with a small white head. The nose is pine, earth, toast, faint caramel, orange and a touch of grapefruit. The taste is bitter, pine, resin, citric, dried mango, peppery grapefruit and some creaminess with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Easy drinking IPA. Not the most memorable offering out there, but not bad.

Bottle from Gooden in Taipei. Piney grassy aroma - standard IPA. Taste is dry bitter hops. Not much flavor - inoffensive but doesn't stand out.
