Voraciously hoppy and not overly bitter. The Kind brings enormous aroma and maximum flavor. It’s like taking a walk through a pine forest and ending up at a citrus farm. This beer brings joy to the world, one sip at a time.

Pours a hazy gold with a sticky, tall, white head. Hop aroma of pine and citrus. The flavor is a juicy malt base that holds up a resiny, citrus hop flavor and bitterness. They describe it well.

Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Hazy deep golden, small head. Pear and minty grapefruit aroma. Mid dry with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Dryish and drinkable, dominated by nice pear and citrus-like hops. Long bitterness.

Bottle at Pat’s birthday tasting at chriso’s. Pours hazy gold with a fine, white head. Big pithy citrus aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor, faint toasty grass bitters, more citrus pith, some straw. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Slightly dry to finish, yet more pithy citrus, light white sugar. Nice enough IPA. Nothing outstanding about it.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a Sam glass. Bright white micro head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Resin and pine aromas. Soft with sweet dough upfront turning to resin before the lasting grapefruit finish.

Draught at the Lovin’ Cup. Dark gold color with lace. Big citrus nose with grapefruit, light malts. Great. Rather sweet malt flavor wth lemon and sweet orange, big citrus hops, grassy. A bit too sweet, but the hops are great and it’s darn good overall.

Not really my style of IPA. Not sure who brought this one to the September 3R6P gathering. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy orange-amber color with a small white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was oddly funky, earthy, herbal and piney.The flavor was tangy, bitter and a touch rough with earthy, herbal and piney hops and undertones of nut and sour caramel. The finish was long,dryish, earthy and herbal. Full bodied.

On tap at the Ale House in Vestal NY. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber color with a thinnish white head that did have good retention. Smells of pine resin and cirtus with a faint bready malt in the background. Taste is pine and citrus with grapefruit and a slight bready malt in the background. Smooth not harsh bitterness, but a nice hoppy presence. Sticky resinous mouthfeel, medium body and level of carbonation. Great easy drinking ipa with lots of flavor.

Bomber from Half Time. Pours hazy amber gold with a small creamy beige head. Aroma is citrus and malt backed by some light stone fruit. Med+ body with creamy carb. Flavor has more than a hint of diacetyl, so ick. Butterscotch. Ick. Behind that is some nice fruit and floral. Hard to find the malt behind the butterscotch. The hop is nice tho. This rating will suffer on palate. It’s like a lot of good stuff lurks behind the butterscotch curtain. Maybe my palate will overdose and ignore; hope so.
