Green onion and pine. Some grapefruit. Pours hazy orange with good head and lacing. Bitter end. Tap at brewery.
Draft. Poured clear dark golden color with an average frothy white head that lasted with very good lacing. Moderate to heavy citrus balanced aroma. Medium to abundant body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy bittersweet flavor with a moderate to heavy bittersweet finish of medium to long duration. This beer exceeded my expectations.
Slightly pale golden color. Very heady nose with lots of weed and white grapefruit. Low carbonation, too low for the style which hurt it. Modest bitterness.
Draft at the brewery. The aroma is dank enough to be straight armpit. Big, bold flavor. Enjoyable. The short review is due to chasing away a homeless meth addict.
On tap at Cycle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh piney hops upfront, with a dry biscuity malt base. Flavour is wonderfully balanced, with assertive piney hops, some citrus and toasted biscuity malt. Perfectly bitter and piney. Pretty much exactly how I love my IPAs.
At ratebeer best pours out hazy straw topped with a white head. Nose is big crisp citrus fruit and a nice sweetness. Tatse is more of the nice sweet crisp citrus notes and a mellow end.
Tap at brewery. Aroma of citrus, tropical and grapefruit. Malty backbone. Heavy bitter with lingering fruity bitterness. A nice one...
Nice drinking share of a growler, of course would be more perfect right away from tap. Smooth, tasty and crushable. Thanks Brian.
Half pour at the taproom. Slightly hazy pour with a white head. Really nice citrus nose. Quite bitter taste.
Crowler from Joe. Poured a chill hazed brownish gold with a smaller white head. Aroma/flavor of old citrus, old bread, lightly bad citrus rind, slight barf. Medium mouthfeel, softer carbonation.
(Tap sample @ CBC 2016 Green Session, Copenhagen) Pours hazy orange-gold with a white head. Notes are those of a heavily hopped west coast-style IPA, big citrusy notes, especially orange with some grapefruit, mango, leafy and moderately dank, malt is fairly dry but a touch bready, some soapy floral notes build into the moderately to highly bitter finish. Medium bodied, slightly oily, average carbonation. A bit too aggressive with that herbal/floral bittering, which wipes out any fruitiness. Tend to prefer a juicier joint these days myself, but it's decent enough.
Draught at Brewskival 2017. Hazy golden. Tropical fruit hop aroma with notes of garlic. Dry, medium bitterness.
Tap at James Joyce. Pours pale yellow with thick white head. Clean crisp malt with a nice balancing hop bitterness. Pleasant citrus pine hop aroma. Good stuff.
Tropical fruits, mango, passion fruit, tangerine, peaches. Milky pale gold, small, creamy, white head. More unripe citrus fruits, mango, passion fruit, tangerine, orange, soft carbonation, medium bodied. Decent IPA, well-balanced. Keg at MBCC Yellow Session, Copenhagen.
Draft. Pours lemon color. The taste is citrus. Lemon and orange. Nice tropical fruit

On tap at Mikkeller & Friends. Hazy golden with a thin white head. Tons of citrus, dank fruit, pine resin, some unripe tropical fruit. Bitter, astringent finish, but crazy hoppy overall.
Draught at BD AGM. White creamy head stayed on a finely effervescent, hazy, dark golden body. Medium bodied. Smooth on the palate. This is packed with citrus, anti bitter & sweet, orange, grape, pine, grassy & a long pithy finish.
Keg at BD AGM. It pours lightly hazy pale orange with a small white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, fragrant, tangerine, kumquat, orange, brioche, grass and candied citrus peel. The taste is dry, bitter, fresh, orange peel, tangerine, kumquat, light soap, green, grassy, weedy hops and some floral accents. Finish is dry and zesty. Pretty fresh and quaffable.

Pours a very cloudy golden with a sticky white head. Faint nose. Citrus and pineapple? Very cold beer served in a very cold glass. Harsh mouthfeel. Some orange and pineapple. Bitters significantly.
On tap at RateBeer Best 2017. Comes a hazy golden orange with a decent white head. Aroma of citrus, tropical, and pine. Taste is grapefruit, lemon, tropical, pine, and malt. Decent.
Sample at RateBeer Best. Pour is hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, pine, dank. Taste follows nose with green bell pepper notes, hay.
Intensywny aromat żółtych owoców. Kremowe. Krótka goryczka. Bardzo dobre, spory postęp od zeszłego roku.
Draught. Golden coloured. Unclear. Dense off white head. ARoma. Citrus, pine, some herbs, grape and vague caramel. Flavour. Grape, citrus, herbs, light grassy and piney. Medium to full bodied. Ends herbal bitter and citric.
Draft. I thought this ipa was terrible, absolutely shocked to see the ratings here. It is very vegetal, minty, tastes like catnip, too sweet as well. Was definitely fresh on draft, but crappy.
Draft at Pegs in Gulfport. Looks and smells like ipa. Crisp flavor. Easy to drink. Hit the spot on a hot, humid day. Simply good
