look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Purchased a 6pk at Wegmans in Warrington, PA

6pk-$13.49

Served and enjoyed in a standard pint glass

A - Pours a clear, golden-honey color. A decent one-two finger, foamy head on the initial pour. Good amount of lacing left after drinking.

S - Massive aroma of pine and citrus. Very inviting.

T - The initial sip hits you with tons of citrus and pine taste. The beer has a nice, slightly malty sweetness to balance out the hoppiness. The hops are not overpowering but do leave a slightly bitter aftertaste. Well balanced and highly drinkable. The alcohol is well disguised.

M - Medium consistency. Good carbonation.

O - This one ranks as one of the better IPAs I've had. My first Firestone Walker beer and I was impressed. Not sure if the price is normal for this beer but it is a bit on the pricier side so I'm not sure how often I'll buy this but it is really tasty. Recommended.

Cheers!

I'm new to IPAs, so don't hate on me.

A - A light orange with highlights of soft gold and yellow; a thin white head that stays almost permanently throughout the glass; bubbles rise from bottom to head throughout the whole experience. This is a wonderful looking beer.

S - Medium hoppiness; lemon zest; lemon grass; sweet pine; light malt

T - Hoppy, piney, and citrusy on the palate; malts assuage the bitterness oft he overall effect of the hops. The aftertaste is hoppy, yet subdued because of the malt. This is a fine IPA.

M - A little too carbonated for my taste, but not so much so that it makes for an unpleasant experience.

O - I think this is a fantastic IPA. I'm a hard to please newbie when it comes to IPA, but this beer is strong, but not abrasive; hoppy, but not bitter; floral, but not soapy. I can't praise this beer enough.
