Bottle. Not a very good beer. It has an orange-gold color with a medium head. Aroma was not a very pleasant grain smell. Maybe it was an old beer. Taste was old moldy grains, and not much hops for an IPA.

Bottle from Beer52. Deep gold with a light fizz and a thin white head. Peachy notes up front then some pine and orangey fruitiness. Some sweet caramel. Slightly dry and bitter in the crisp finish. Pleasant.

12 fl oz (355ml) bottle, via Beer52. Drank at home on 2nd Jun 2020, during the virus Lock In. Clean and clear golden amber pour, white bubbles on top. Dank hop aroma with some bready malts in the background. Maltiness more to the fore in the taste, dank hops still there though for some balance. Others have mentioned 'a citrus flavour or aroma', I didn't pick any of that up. Great that we're all different!

[12oz bottle from Beer52.] A straw coloured pour with a loose white head; musty citrus aroma; light bready body with a lemony citrus taste; and a rather acidic finish with some stone fruit in the background. A pleasant pale ale, on a beautiful summer evening.

Clearish copper coloured body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white haed. Aroma of deep and very pungent hop bitterness with some grass and very perfumey notes thrown in the mix as well. Light-bodied; Super grassy flavour with a big heavy hit of grain and funk with a touch of sugars, but nothing else and very mild. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very herbal and astringent hop flavours showing through at first, but the malts are definitely there from an overt and bitter back flavour from funk and grain that finishes in more flavours. Aftertaste is mildish, but also that great flavour that shows all the sides the complexities interwined with raising kids and producing good, high quality beers. Overall, an acceptable beer at this stage with a lot of hops and only a touch of the malts in the mix here, but a lot of funk and even more with alcohol is noticeable here. I sampled this tall twelve ounce bottle purchased from Food LIon in Onley , Virginia on 27-January-2018 for US$1,67 sampled at homein Washington on 31-March-2018.
