A - Clear copper body with a white sticky head that hangs around and leaves lacing for the entirety of the glass.

S - Well balanced aroma with the hops contributing a unique tropical and earthy smell. Malt is vaguely sweet, no perceivable yeast contribution.

T - Big hop flavor up front, not extremely bitter though there is a bite. Again well balanced against the sweet malt which is a little hard to describe. Hop flavors are unique as the smell indicated. American pine and tropical fruits and a bit herbal.

M/D - Medium body, not as sticky as the taste might suggest. Easy to drink, tasty, and on the lower end of the ABV spectrum it has high drinkability. An all around nice beer that I've somehow never seen despite supposedly being a year around offering since 2009.

A-pours a golden copper color with white sudsy head with pretty nice retention
S-lots of pine and resin, some subtle malt in the background
T-more pine with some citrus notes in the finish, the malt provides a nice balance but does not lend much to the flavor
M-medium bodied
O-really nice and well balanced IPA. It isn't out of this world but definitely nails the style.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a snifter.

A- Pours an amber clear body with a small white head that reduces quickly and leaves some uniform thin lacing.

S- Sweet caramel malt, citrus, pine, and breadyness.

T- Subtle hoppy pine, resin, and citrus zest sitting on a soft caramel, lightly toasted malt, vanilla backbone. Leaves some bitterness on the tongue.

M- Overcarbonated with a medium body.

Nothing awesome but a solid IPA that's easy going down. Not overly bitter with a nice hop-malt balance.
