This brew is a clear dark copper color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Stringy lacing. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, hops and caramel malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Crisp, slightly hazy golden and lightly copper body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of fresh hops, pine, citrus, resin and dank hops all with a touch of sweetness noticeable in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive fresh hop flavour with a lot of grass, hay, pine, grapefruit and very pungent citrus flavours, all with a well supportive malt backbone and some sweetness from apricot and peaches. Aftertaste is well-balanced with a great fresh hop flavour, but an equally present malt and sweetness that shows very well throughout. Overall, a very nice IPA with a great profile and amazing balance - surprising and delicious! Great to sample, given this is my first trip to Maine and I was able to find this at a 7-11! I sampled this twelve ounce can next door to my hotel at a 7-11 in Portland, Maine, available as a single can for US$2,29 sampled in my hotel room a few minutes later on 28-July-2016.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Julio’s Liquors. Aroma is strong fruit and citrus. Appearance is beautiful, clear, dark copper with minimal attractive sparkle, two-finger width fluffy white head after aggressive pour and nice sudsy lacing. Taste is surprisingly forward sweet malt (mainly caramel) with fruit and citrus with bitter ending. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, slightly sticky texture, average carbonation (could be a tad more) and bitter, dry, crisp finish. Overall, this is a nice IPA. Good West Coast flavor without getting overly bitter. Surprising amount of malt in the flavor.

Draft at GBBF 2013, day 3 - London. Pours clear gold with a light white cream head. Super floral on the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with more flowers, pine needles, tangerine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly resinous, lots of lightly spicy floral notes. OK.

I should have known from the start since I was pouring this viscous liquid from a black can with skull & crossbones on it that it was going to be a terribly on style IPA or even DIPA. Bouquet is capricious olfactory waves of influence. What a predilection in the piehole, and a piquant experience at that; immense revolting dreadful yuckie concentrated in yer face IPA swill. If you like this style, it’s all you. Go shamble your taste buds. Deez nuts – it’s just a moment of impulse, that’s all. 0.1 point for the buzz.

Cask at GBBF ’15, day 1, 11/08/15. Golden amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is melon, tangerine, straw, hop pangs. Taste comprises citric pith, mandarin, tangerine, straw. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, juicy hop bitterness in the close. Decent enough IPA.
