The citrus punch of a big IPA, minus the one-dimensional hop sledgehammer. Select specialty malts round out the edges for a complex, copper-colored brew.

12 oz bottle from Total Wine, Las Vegas, NV. Pours a clear dark gold color with a large, rocky, khaki head and excellent retention. Spotty lacing. Very resinous hops aroma. The taste follows the nose: Strong piney hops flavor with strong bitterness and a drying finish. Tastes like an IPA to me. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Too bitter for me.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear, ruby-orange color, with a medium, frothy, beige head. The nose is vanilla, orange peel, dry and dusty juniper, and bergamot. Dry and grainy, with a smooth, pleasant bitterness. Light to medium body, with a smooth, lightly biting palate. This is a solid, tasty pale ale.

Rancid piney hops on the nose, okay clear gold body and minimal foam. Flavour is chewy malt and sweet hops. Heavy oily hops. A bit oozy but all right.
