Cask gravity at GBBF 2015. Deep amber colour lasting beige head. Now that is quite nice pear drops pine resin. Lovely balanced. Best American ipa so far.

Location: 12 oz can from Nikki's Liquor, 4/5/15
Aroma: The aroma is citrus, pine, and resin, with a good amount of caramel malt.
Appearance: It pours an amber color, murky, with an off-white head and rather heavy lacing.
Flavor: Medium-plus bitter, citrus, pine, resin, and a strong caramel malt backbone for the style.
Palate: Medium-plus body, soft-to-average carbonation, and a clean, dry finish.
Overall Impression: This is a pretty nice one. It has a bigger than expected malt backbone, and plenty of hop bitterness to hold up to it. Good beer.

Draught @ Ginger Man. Clear amber color with medium sized off white foamy head, faint hops aroma, well-balanced sweetish hoppy taste, full body, low carbonation, medium finish. Quite a smooth IPA.

Variety pack: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus, pine, and resin. Taste is sweet, then bitter and citrusy. Finish is bitter too and goes into a hoppy aftertaste. Not extreme, but packs some punch. Good.

12 oz can from a trade with WillRunForBeer. Pours hazy amber color with off white head. Caramel and pine aromas. Sweet caramel flavor with some bitter pine hops. Medium body with average carbonation. More malty than I like for an IPA but still decent. Thanks Brian.

I picked this up in Maine, July 2014. Caramel up front. Lots of flowers, hops citrus, and fresh grass in the aroma. Smooth flavor but not very bitter at all, and the aroma is far more interesting than the flavor. Dry finish.
