Poured from a 12oz bottle to a pint glass.

Has a nice orangey amber terra cotta color with a finger or so that settles within a minute or so. Carbonation is evident and highlights the color.

I smell hops and an intense freshness, pines, floral, fruit-citrus, and a prfound freshness throughout.

This has a fantastic hoppy, citrus beginning that basically lasts throughout the entire drink. Hops and fresh citrus, grapefruit and limes and lemon are prevelant within this. It finishes crisp and clean and has a great hop bitter aftertaste left on the tongue.

Regardless of the alcohol content, this is remarkably easy to drink and enjoy, there is a small warming feel that will creep up on you!!

Definatly a great beer, cheers!

I was quite surprised to see this six pack in the beer aisle at HEB in Round Rock...scooped up a sixer with a grin on my face.

Nice copper color, good clarity, a head that fades quickly but leaves some decent streaks of lace. Smell is of uber fresh flora and ctirusl hops with a light note of sweet/spicey malt.

Taste follows scent...really good combo of hops and malt here...the aftertaste is quite different than a typical hoppy IPA...really enjoying collaboration of flavors in this...citrus, grassy hops, sweet caramel, and spices. Goes down like butta and I'm finding it quite difficult not to chug....always a good sign.

I gotta say, this is a kick butt IPA. So glad to have it in Texas.

Have seen it on the shelf for months, and never tried. My best bud picked up a sixer for dinner tonight and we were both pleasantly surprised!

A - For being unfiltered, this was quite a clear beer. Poured a nice amber copper color, a deepness to it was beautiful. White, foamy finger of head. Good carbonation.

S - Smelled of sweet malts and hops. Grassy and earth tones abundant. This was a very earthy, fresh, grassy smelling IPA, just what I like.

T - Starts out with a mildly sweet malt, quickly punched out by the hops. The Centennial hops are beautifully balanced with the ever so distant citrus kick at the end.

M - Medium bodied, great drinkability. This beer went down smooth, and was never overwhelming.

O - Another good brew by Founders, this one is easily found, and makes a great go-to brew, perfect for hot summer days!
