Pours a cloudy orange color with a nice fluffy white head.

Scent of dank, bitter hops, tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, grass, and honey. An exceptional scent to be sure.

Taste of sharp bitter, spicy, fruity hops, mango, and pineapple. Finishes bitter and dank, just delicious.

Mouthfeel is light bodied and biting, very refreshing.

Have had several times on tap, but this review is from a recent growler... $20.

Hazy golden pour that sports a colossal white head.

Tons, and I mean TONS of ruby red smells protruding from this brew. There's some fresh-cut grass and slight malts as well. Smells amazing!

The taste is just as awesome. There are your grapefruit and grass again... along with some orange rind and some biscuit. It's a touch light-bodied for me, but still it goes down smooth and finishes crisp.

If you love IPAs, you'd have absolutely no problem polishing off all 64oz by yourself. Just another fantastic IPA from the "new king in town," Peter Crowley!

A-Pours a hazy yellowish orange with a white two finger head.

S-Grapefruit and slight hoppy pine notes with a hint of caramel.

T-Citrusy bitterness is at the forefront but it's balanced a little by the caramel malt.

M-Thin bodied with moderate carbonation.

D- It was easy drinking but there are much better IPA's out there that are better priced.
