22oz bomber poured into my mug

Appearance is a medium copper color with a rocky two and half inch slightly off white head. Great head retention that slowly subsides in parts leaving an island and soapy scattered lacing.

Citrus aromas come straight at your nose with deep pungent grapefruit as the prominent smell. Mango, pineapple and tangerines are all present as well. Floral aromas of wild flowers with a bit of pine sap seek its way through along with bubblegum and caramel malts.

Taste upfront is a bit of caramel malts with a slight citrus flavor of grapefruit. Midway a bit of bitterness shows up along with bread and cracker like malts. Disappointed that the taste did not follow the nose and there was a lack of citrus flavor. Most likely this is due to being an old bottle.

Medium bodied with average carbonation. There was no bottle on date so blame the brewery.

From Jim's. No BB.

Pours a hazy amber. One finger white head. Clumpy lace.

Aromas of pine resin and citrus hops. Dry.

Taste is a dry hop bomb and one dimensional. Needs more malts. Pine resin drives. Merest hint of pineapple. Dryness builds and mrs heygeebee could not finish her share of the bottle. A first!

Mouthfeel is also a tad watery. And almost harsh.

A disappointment overall - too one dimensional and no malt backbone. Gets little less harsh as it warms, but still not a good example.

Terrific beer!
Picked up a bomber at local liquor store that has a nice selection of Crafts. Surprised to see a few Moylan's!
Smells of hops and citrus, has a early hop bomb and smooth finish.
I'm a novice at beer review, but that will change over time.
Very happy with this IPA, wouldn't be my first choice, but will drink again. Especially at $6.
