Bottle at a JFK Airport Bar, New York. Malty aroma with resinous hops, caramel, soft floral notes, some grapefruit. Fairly sweet, medium bitter. Body is medium. Resinous and malty, bittersweet, not bad but I don't get the relatively high rating.

Pours clear deep gold. It has a nice citrus hop aroma. The flavor features solid resinous and citrus hops bitterness with a caramel malt body. Piney hops lingers in the finish. It’s a good flagship IPA.

Big, piney, classic IPA, West Coast with a touch of New England sweetness, offering up caramel, grapefruit, and pine, with some stone fruit and tropical notes underneath. Very nice.

Draft...dark golden. Strong bitter hop presence in the aroma and flavor. Hoppy floral aroma. A lot of grapefruit activity happening here. Finishes bitter and a delightful medley of hops.

Pours amber with a thick white head. Aroma of malt and grass. Taste has caramel malt with fruity resin. Palate has grassy fruit notes, melon and yeast. Good. Hoppy but drinkable.

Hazy golden-amber, compact off-white head. The aroma is rich creamy firuty caramel malts, candied citrus. Same with the taste - savoury jammy malts. The pungent somewhat harsh hop bitterness has some green grassy notes, but the malts are just too good at the rounding such errors. Nice.
