Citra, Bravo and Centennial hops shine in this classic IPA. Biscuity malts balance hoppy notes of orange grapefruit and pine with a nice dose of bitterness to finish.

Bottle from Colonial Spirits Slightly hazy deep yellow with a bubbly white head that persists. Solid citrus and pine with a crackery bready maltiness underneath. Slight mineral water and astringency in the flavor, but a pretty good standard IPA right here.

Very nice, clear amber and light copper coloured body with a bit of a bronze glow and a thick, three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of fresh grassy and lightly piney hops with a touch of resin along with a good deal of metallic notes and some light sugars as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and lightly herbal hop flavours with some resin, bitterness, nuts and more metal noticeable. Aftertaste shows the hop bitterness throughout with a metallic twang and a very small flavour of light fruits on the finish. Overall, a bit too deep with the metal and pungent bitterness and not enough sweetness and aromatic hop flavours, but not a bad beer - just a touch strong. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased yesterday at Whole Foods in New York (Columbus Circle), New York for US$1,99 on 19-December-2015 sampled at home in New Paltz (Upstate), New York on 20-December-2015.
