The magic is in our masterful combination of hops that create this ridiculously good India Pale Ale. The strange thing is how we get as much of it as we do into cans before we drink all of it ourselves.

HOPS: WARRIOR, MOSAIC, SIMCOE, CITRA - PELLET, LEAF & CRYO
MALT: CARA PILS, PALE, C-15, C-30

Pine, grapefruit peel, orange, and biscuit malt aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow with moderate off white head. Moderately sweet orange, lime, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter pine and grapefruit peel flavor. Good body. It's an IPA.

12 ounce can from Total Wine Lexington Green, shared with hershiser2! Clear amber, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of leafy, herbal hop, citrus. Taste is dank, green, minty hops followed by grapefruit. Tad bit thin. Nice.

Dark amber with a huge foamy head. Sweet and tangy with a cacophony of hops - herbal, earthy, leafy, piney, fruity and tropical. Hop flavors come in waves with each sip. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

Pours golden with an off-white head. It's a very fruity smelling brew with citrus and tropical fruits. It tastes of tropical fruit accented hops with moderate to strong bitterness and a crisp finish. Quite good.

Smells like sweet flowery hop perfume. Clear pale with a big white head. Taste is big bitter rubbery soapy hops, perfectly on style, ruins your taste buds for quite a while. Nasty nellie, chewing on green grapefruit rinds soaked in fermented pine tar sap all mixed with ground up spruce needles. There, you have it. Just another one in a million rude ass ubiquitous IPA out there. So common.

Sample at the CCBW Six One Pour festival on 05/18/2019. Clear golden color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lace. Aroma of piney hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, grapefruit and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.
