Can: Poured a pale yellow color ale with a nice thick pure white foamy head with good carbonation. Aroma of floral hoppy notes is quite sublime. Taste is also dominated by piney and citrusy hops with nice floral undertones and limited bitterness. Body is light with good carbonation. I really enjoyed the floral grassy notes of this IPA.

A hazed golden ipa with a thin white head. In aroma, classic biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, grapefruit pulp, citrusy goodness, well done. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, resinous and piney, very nice and West Coast. Can from Healthy Living in Burlington Vermont.

Bottle from Fred Meyer, Seattle
Hazy golden color with medium head. Nice aroma, toffee, gently toasted malts, some cereals, hay, and obviously hops, lightly musky. Nice mouthfeel, dry and lean; the malt profile is good and doesn’t cover the hop, with toffee, some cereals, hint of caramel; strong bitterness, quite piney and resiny, just lightly fruity, with some cedar peel.
Enjoyable.

Bottle - Nice fresh grapefruit. Clear gold with a decent white head. Bitter resin and some pithy grapefruit. Big bright but nice bitterness throughout and into finish.

Dark yellow and bright. Aroma is slightly piney with indistinct citrus. Lean malts, rich piney hops. Biscuity, then finishes with a lingering bitterness that leaves resin on the tongue.

16oz pour at Jack Rose DC. Pours a clear, dark gold with some bright, white head. Nose is nice, tropical fruit, mango, peach, bright hop pellet, tangerine, some soap, light herb. Flavor is solid, peach, mango, orange, tangerine, piney, chivey, soap. Clean, zesty finish. Really solid. I’d be happy with this as my local.

Draft at Jack Rose. Poured a light amber color with a medium-sized white head. Aroma was notes of juicy hops, tropical citrus notes. Flavor is malt balanced slightly with more tropical fruit notes.

Can - this is my kind of IPA in that it is clean, dry, crisp, and light - not heavy, dense, and overburdened with malt sweetness - the nose in particular is a pungent mix of dankness and juicy citrus - clean and medium dry malts give the strong hop character something to stick to - high bitterness, but not too acidic or abrasive - the hop flavor is mostly a nice mix of woody, earthy, and citrus - however, there are periodic notes of garlic and diesel-ish dankness that make me enjoy it a little less - change the hop mix slightly and this might be in 4 range for me.

12 oz. can purchased at Craft Beer Cellar, Waterbury, VT. No date code anywhere on the can. Aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, and weak pine resin.
Flavor starts with light piney hints and then hints of citrus and light herbal tones. Some caramel malts in the base of it. On the palate the beer is medium bodied with steady carbonation leaving a nice lingering bitterness. The finish is clean and fresh.
Overall this IPA doesn’t have anything to make it standout or make it memorable. But it is a well-crafted beer without any problems what so ever. Still real drinkable.

Pours gold into a shaker. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing to mottle surface. Lemon and hay aromas. Sour caramel and hay upfront turning to quite bitter earth and resin in the lasting finish.
