look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

I poured this 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. It poured a cloudy pale golden color. It produced a think 3 1/2 finger think white foamy head. Excellent Head retention and excellent lacing. The aroma is is very much dominated by malt and bitter hops- slight notes of citrus. The taste is malty, piney and hops spring out in the front and during the finish. The finish is a bit dry with an almost "oily" taste- The beer is very smooth. Overall, a very good IPA.

A very nice aroma, the hops hits the palate though not over-powering; silky smooth going down leaving a mouthful of hops and a citrusy after taste. I can drink lots of this beer all day long, I love it!...and remember folks: continue to drink beer and support your local brewery. HOG
