Bottled@SBWF2014. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral and mildly wooden notes. Flavour is fruity, floral, wooden and earthy with some slight herbal notes. Very basic and not all too exciting.

12oz bottle from Wegman’s, West Seneca, NY. A golden maber pour with a thin cream head; tropical fruit aroma; tropical fruit taste with some spicy bitterness and perhaps a touch of ginger; but a rather short lived finish.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Manassas. Pours a hazy yellow color with a medium sized white head. Good head retention. Aroma of herbal, citrus hops and crackery malt. The taste is citrus, herbal hops, mild caramel malt. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness.

certain dull hop aroma. looks good an bubbly in the glass. this brand certainly is a legacy. taste is simply bitter bs, perhaps a little more astringent than most fresher ipa. yes, wants to be a double but only makes it near half way thru ipa. seems like a higher abv than whats listed. that astringent bitterness in the back of the throat is slightly annoying. won’t be liked much by ipa nerds. however, imho its terribly near style. does have some creamy co2. at first was a little watery then becomes mouth coating on the finish.

Can. Better Beer Of The Month Club. Clear golden with a white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma full of citrus, tropical hints and light "green" hints. Flavor has light sweetish maltiness, nice citric hops and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Good.
