Surprisingly floral, with a perfumey undertone accented by notes of nuts, toast, and apple. Finishes with a modest floral bitterness. Good beer.

Solid hazy IPA, citrus and tropical notes with a pine bitterness and subtle sweetness. Nice.

Very dry, crisp IPA, much in the Maine Lunch vein, with a quick pop of grapefruit pith, tropical fruit, and a touch of peach, followed by grass, a touch of grainy sweetness, and a mild piney bitterness on the finish. Very nice pint.

So close to being a great beer. Love the initial citrus-tropical hop notes, love how the pint cleans up to allow crisp pilsner malt to provide a brisk, grassy middle. Just wish there was a stronger floral/pine bitterness on the back end. Finishes kinda bland, lacking the spicy punch you want from a classic pils. Good, not great.

Mostly notes of roast and a touch of chocolate underlined by cascara and a hint of coffee. Kind of dull.

Excellent Black IPA from the flower kids at Fonta Flora. Dark roasty notes of coffee and chocolate mixed with classic West Coast IPA citrus and pine. Finishes with a nice mix of dark beer maltiness and bitter hops. Tasty.
