look: 3.25 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Appearance: A deep, golden amber color. Clean and clear with a 1 and 1/2 finger head that is quick to diminish in the mug.

Smell: Very faint hoppy aroma. Very little there, even when almost up the nose.

Taste: Upfront there's a well-balanced presentation of hops, but not too much to overwhelm the palate. After the hops your mouth is well ready for a finish which unfortunately just isn't there.

Mouth Feel: Light with a crisp level of carbonation. Very refreshing.

Overall: A good balance of upfront IPA hop flavors, but nothing behind it to really back it up. Not a bad beer, but a simple and one-dimensional IPA.

Poured a dark amber color with 2 fingers head that lasted. Cloudy bitter and not too much funk or malt. Lacing well. Just enough hops on the nose to get you into the glass and that’s where I stayed. Good bitter IPA. Light carbonation, bright citrus, a little pucker and a great after taste. This beer would compliment a variety of Chinese dishes.

3.79/5  rDev +6.5%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A - Pours a slightly hazy golden orange, finger of head with solid retention and nice sheeting lacing.

S - Sweet citrus hops, caramel and toffee notes and an earthy cedar finish.

T - Citrus rind, floral hop notes, candied sugar and caramel, earthy cedar and pine notes and bitter citrus flavours linger on the finish.

M - Medium bodied, a tad prickly and finishes with a touch of dryness.

O - A solid IPA and easily sessioned. Heavy hop bitterness but still nicely balanced. I would definitely make this a regular go-to if it were actually available in On-terrible.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Bottle poured into .5l Spaten glass.

Appearance: Rich golden amber, cream colored head, FAST fade, some frothy lace. Well carbonated.

Smell: Fruity, in style of 60 min ipa (Delaware), biscuity malt and grassy hop aromas.

Taste: Arcs between biscuity, cookie, malt flavor and assertive, hop bitterness that has fruit, herbs, grass, mango going on. Malt combines with fruit and esters, then complets with hop tingle, and bitterness, a nice arc and not a me-too style. Alcohol warms too.

Feel: Good mouth feel, good finish, great w food. STRONG!

Overall - in the direction of Middle Atlantic IPAs - DE, PA. Definitely want to try again and again, and perhaps add notes to my review because a lot going on.
