Nice golden orange color. Little bit of haze and a creamy white head makes a nice but brief appearance.

Aroma shows a good bit of citrusy hop notes and floral character. Some malty undertones add a bit of sweetness to the beer.

Not the most bold or aggressive IPA I've come across but has plenty of citrus and some piney goodness to please. Malt stands out in the back but lets the hops to most of the work.

Mouthfeel is light with a bit of a creamy texture to it. Overall, a fine IPA. Nothing thats going to destroy you palate with hops but still a nice refreshing hop forward beer.

Bottle > Sensory Pilsner glass

A - Pours a reall nice light amber color, foamy two finger head of an off white color, lots of nice lacing going on.
S - Lemon peel, a light sweet malt, some pine, and a little musk and spice.
T - Well balanced between some light malt, mild bitterness and good hop flavor. The pine and light tangerine flavor is most notable from the hops, and some biscuity malt as well.
M - Coats your mouth with a nice balance of flavor and feel. Perfect to session as well.
O - Solid single IPA, cannot go wrong at all with this.

The appearance has a light amber color. The aromas consist of some citrus and hop resin. The taste begins with soft caramel and finishes with a strong bitter flavor. It fits the style but with a strong emphasis on the hop image. The bitterness lingers like an unpaid whore... A reasonably priced hooker for your tongue's every desire.

Pours a brilliantly clear copper with a modest white head. Decent retention.

Smell is the full array of hop scents.... tropical and citrus fruit, pine, cat pee.

Flavor is surprisingly malt-forward given the hop dominance of the aroma. Biscuity, sharp pine, fairly well balanced. Nothing overwhelming.

Overall a solid beer that I would buy again if the price was right.
