Pours a translucent light reddish amber with an off white foamy head that fades into a nice thin cap leaving some soapy lacing
The aroma is resinous hops, orange peel, grapefruit and pine
The taste follows lots of juicy resinous piney hops, citrus but more citrus peel lead into a clean dry bitter finish without being over bearing.
Leans towards a medium body with medium carbonation, finishes fairly dry leading you in for another drink.
Overall it's a nice example of a red IPA, nice combination of juicy and resinous hops with a clean fermentation, one I'd enjoy again.

Opaque, dark brown bordering black, two fingers of dense tan head sits that lasts and lasts leaving some nice lacing when it finally starts to disapate.
Aroma of caramel, roast and hints of chocolate.
Taste follows the aroma with the roast playing heavily into the fairly bitter finish
Wicked smooth medium body, finishes dry and drinks really easy.
Overall a tasty Irish dry stout. Light and easy drinking enough for a session with plenty of substance to keep you coming back for more. The dryness makes you want to keep taking that next drink and I'm all for it
Appearance - pours a hazy golden color, two fingers of foamy head that dissipates into a light top cover leaving a good amount of sticky lacing
Aroma - notes of fresh orange and lime with some lemon and grass in there as well
Flavor - reminiscent of the aroma but everything's muddled up giving a generic citrus flavor with a assertive bitterness in the finish
Texture - medium light body, prickly carbonation
Overall - they call it a session IPA but at almost 6% it's rather light and one dimensional for me. With so many IPAs out there this could use a little more umph to stand out in the crowd. It's good not great

Poured a transparent dark amber brown with a dense pale off white head that settles into a thin cover leaving some light tacky lacing.
Pardon my stuffy nose. Aroma is dark bread, earthy grassy hops and caramel malt.
Flavor follows with a nice melding of malts, the dark breads and caramel sweetness mesh leading into earthy grassy hops and a subtle roast that works well with the lightly bitter finish
Light body with the carbonation leading to a smooth experience.
Overall an excellent dark lager I would come back too almost any time of the year. Refreshing and easy drinking enough for warmer weather while the roast and bread malts make it hearty enough for the colder seasons too.

Appearance. Pours a hazy to murky yellow orange with a slick pillowy white head that dissipates into a thin cover that leaves minimal lacing.
Aroma. Orange and ruby red grapefruit peel dominate the aroma with some over ripe pineapple sneaking in the end.
Flavor. Tends to follow the aroma. Citrus peel, overripe pineapple and pine lead way to a fairly bitter finish.
Texture. Rather prickly on the tongue, light in body. Feels a bit thin for what it is.
Overall it's a run of the mill neipa, one of the better hex and hops beers I've had but doesn't stand out in a saturated hazy/neipa world. It really lacks a punch and is lacking oomph across the board.
