Aroma of pale malt with citrusy hop. It’s all kind of light. Amber gold color with a frothy white head that laces as it collapses. Thin to medium body with mild, almost creamy, carbonation. The flavor is mildly malty, with floral/citrus hop. The finish isn’t dry, but it isn’t sweet. Floral notes abound, and there is enough bitterness to satisfy. It’s really good stuff.

Clear amber color with a small white head. Aroma is piney and filled with citrus and hops. Taste is sweet and sour from the citrus tones, light malts, and hops. Finish was a smooth, but a little lacking in the flavor department. I liked the brew, but it could have been better with a stronger hops finish.

Hazy milky golden ale with a thick creamy white head. Coniferous hops aroma with light citrus notes. In mouth, classic crisp malt with herbal hops, lingering, and definite grapefruit. Medium bodied. Bottle is 1 yr old. Thanks Degarth.

This beer came to me in my beer club. I am unfamiliar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright copper color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is sweet grapefruity hops. The flavor is very sweet with moderate fruity hops. The hops are fairly subdued considering the aroma. The balance is a bit too far on the sweet malty side though.

Bright golden-amber colour. The aroma is woody, citrusy with fresh bready maltiness. Moderate bitterness - slightly woody, earthy. Some toasted malts and clean bread notes. The palate is balanced. An IPA doesn’t need to bludgeon you with hops to be good.

Bottle Pours a light golden nice think head and robust lacing. Classic hoppy IPA aroma. Temp is a bit warm but nice full, smooth almost buttery flavor and very good hoppy pucker power. Back of the throat astringent bitter feeling that stays with you. IPAs are not my fav but this is not bad.
