12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear copper color with a small head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is citrus hops with brown sugary malts. Very strong citrus hops in the taste with some sugary notes. Reminds me a lot of Lemonheads candy. Medium bodied.

bottle - Pours orange and lightly hazy with a one finger white head. It has a good floral and citrus hops aroma and of course this hops leads the flavor. It’s balanced and good though nothing really stands out. Solid.

Pours orange amber with off white head. Big grapefruit hop aroma. Bitter hoppiness backed up by moderately sweet maltiness. Medium body with lively carbonaztion and a slightly resinous moutfeel. A pretty good IPA.

Sample at Alan’s HSC initation. Bottle from Howard’s Market in Tehachapi, CA. Pours a clear orange-amber color with a medium foamy light khaki head that dissipates steadily. Sticky patches of lacing on the glass. The aroma is mildly malty with notes of caramel and citrus. Medium-bodied and evenly bitter and sweet with hops and malt flavors. Touches of citrus as well. The finish is mostly sweet toasted malt with a bit of hops left over. Average overall.

Feety but nice floral grapefruit and rosehip aroma. Opaque ochre pour with a medium yellow head. Full mouthfeel and bitter. Not dissimilar to ear wax. Needlessly bitter, overhopped, no balance. Nice idea, poorly done.
