(bottle) clear deep amber colour, small white head; aroma of fruit, longan, bubble gum, flavour starts malty and quickly transitions into long, medium bitter finish; rather simple but still tasty

Bottle at Block Party. Pours clear copper with a medium, white head. Strong hop aroma with grapefruit and pine. Fairly sweet flavor with some earthy malts and ruddy hops. Medium in body with average carbonation. Finishes with some earthiness, semi-dry and bitter. Good IPA.

Very light IPA. Orange in color with a white head. Slightly hoppy, though not as much as you’d expect. Some resins and bread. Gently spiced. Rated 4/9/10.

This IPA poured a nice goldaen yellow colour with a fast living head. To the nose there are scents of spruec, juniper hopps, herbs and broccoli. First taste was sharp with hopps. Flavours of spruce and grass most forward. Bitter hopp finish with bitterness lingering and hopp flavour lasting forever.

Pours a fluffy white head with a nice coppery body. Citrusy hops all over the aroma. Then the taste is pretty fruity... not hop overkill, but there is most definitely a lot of hop bitterness in the finish. And that bitterness lingers for quite some time, but not in a really bad way, like some hop slaughter beers do. Good amounts of carbonation and the body feels good going down the mouth. Anyway, let’s give thanks on this day of thanks for IPAs, ironically enough America’s beer.

Bottle. Poured an amber gold with an off-white head. Aroma was full of floral and citrus hops. Flavor was a bit one note, mainly being grapefruit. There was a slight undertone of floral notes.

Rating #150 for me. 12 oz bottle. Pours gold-tinged amber with a medium white head. Aromas of floral and citrus hops and a sweet honey along with a hint of candied strawberry. Flavor is light citrus hops and a biscuit backbone, not much of the sweetness of the aroma. Some more bitterness creeps into the finish. A solid, if a bit underhopped, IPA.
