Taster pour at the source. Appearance is dark yellow, white ring of head and tons of lacing. Aroma is herbs, citrus. Taste is herbs and citrus but also with mild corn, malts. Palate is medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and nice herbal/citrusy bitter finish. Overall, not the most complex beer in the world but tasty at what it does.

650 ml bottle purchased at Craft Beer Cellar Portsmouth. Darker Amber color... Shit. Aroma is weak citra dry hopping. Just light weak hints of mango and tropical type fruit.
Taste shows a strong caramel malt billing. Or maybe the bottle is old?? No... No, label reads "Bottled June 2015" so it’s not that old. The flavor just displays to much caramel. Hops are here but really TRYS to fight through the malt but simply can’t. When I drink a 7.5 % IPA it better show me hops, this just shows me fruit without much bitterness. Mouthfeel is on the thin side. Meh.

Bottle from the brewery Pours a slightly hazy medium golden color with a huge bubbly white head that leaves stickies all the way down the glass. Huge earthy resinous piney hop nose with just a hint of bread and caramel to back it up. Light tropical pineapple fruity hop aromas almost seem to clash with the rest of the nose. The flavor follows the aroma but the sweetness comes out a bit more. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Light astringency. Decent IPA that needs a few tweaks to be great.
