Pours a rusty dark copper color with a small head. Nose is deep citrus and hoppy. Taste is bitter from start to finish with moderate citrus, no appreciable sweetness in my opinion . No lacing. Finish is bitter and long lasting. Gotta love the hops in this one. quaff score 7 / 10
Pours a dark copper orange with a beige head and nice aroma full of hops. Taste is bitter up front, with tastes of hops and citrus, with the hops really coming through leading to a dry, bitter finish. Nice hoppy, bitter IPA
Bottle. Pours copper color with a slight head. Nose is primarily hops. Flavor is malty and finishes with bitter hops. Nothing special, but not bad.
Poured a copper/amber with minimal head. Good IPA, not a hop bomb but still strong, Starts with malts and hops take over, medium body, smooth.
A nice ale ipa combination. A little hoppy and malty. Has a nice bitter finish. Smells fruity
22oz bottle. Orange label. Reddish\orange pour, tan head. Aroma of butterscotch, caramel malt, and pine hops. Overly bitter, sharp hops, more butterscotch, some musty malts. Lots of pine flavors. Probably much better fresh. This one seems to have a slight infection.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a moderate off-white head. Nose is a little hoppy, but not overly defined. Taste isn’t too bitter - balanced, but nothing particularly noteworthy. Meh.
Beautiful burnt orange with thin white head that does leave behind nice lacing. Hop nose is earthy. Would have like the flavor to be jucier.
Pours a golden amber red with white frothy head. This beer had not a great aroma and lacked the hop of a great ipa. Not impressed. Of course I had it right after a founders reds rye so.... Had bomber from holmes
Opaque amber color with a big beige head. Aroma of caramel malts and citrus hops. Taste of english hops. Dry hoppy finish.
Poured from a regular bottle into a trumpet glass to drink. The beer had a very cloud amber/light-copper color with a modest foamy white head that had average retention, along with good lacing and cling. Its aroma had a good blend of citrus, grain, and pine hops, along with some caramel malt and some light yeast and floral notes, but overall was a touch muted. Its taste was pleasantly bitter with notable grainy and light citrus hops, paired with a lighter mix of sweet caramel malt and touches of sugar and candy. The palate was very fizzy and carbonated, with a thin but mouth-filling body, and was dry and intense.
Pours a hazy copper brown with a slight head. An earthy bitterness with the profile of an English IPA lacking in finishing hops but having a maltiness in the front which is just overtaken by the bitterness in the end. A very simple and bare bones IPA......and enjoyable.
One of those IPAs: onions/vegetation on the forefront, met later with malt, limeade and tea leaves. Hops used are the kind I dislike arguably the most. Goes down easily. A good shitty movie sipper.
A-- A darker color, more of a crimson red, with a one finger head and web like lacing.
S-- Smells slightly sweet. Usual hops and citrus with a touch of mailt and some carmel
T-- Hops and malt. A little more smooth than other IPA’s. Not a hopbomb.
M-- Good carbonation, not heavy as in hops with a good bite at the end of the beer.
D-- Excellent drinkability. Good combination of hops, citrus and malt. Wanted more than one after was done with this
Bottle. Lacking aroma so it must be old. Deep copper color with minimal foam but decent lacing. A lackluster beer.
Pours cloudy orange from the bottle. Sticky head. Bitter and grapefruit dominant. Citrus and Carmel notes. Average. Won't seek it out
Pours hazy orange. Toasty malty aroma with hints or caramel... Taste is grapefruit with a pine zing finish..good ipa
Bottle. Cloudy amber with a tall pillowy head. Very strong hoppy aroma, taste is a little sour/off with a lingering astringent finish. Starts great but doesn’t finish to match.
Deep orange pour with a nose of mostly sweet malts. Taste is a malt forward hoppiness that is nicely smooth. Finish is where the hops hit with a lingering bitter finish. Decent enough.
12oz bottle in a shaker. Pours amber/copper with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of citrusy and floral hops plus a little bit of caramel malts. Flavor about the same. Average texture. A pretty standard IPA
Lemon, citrus, grain, mild caramel, and pine aromas. Amber with off white head; decent lacing. Full-bodied and flavor like a aroma. Dry with medium bitterness.
12oz into an harpoon ipa glass. Pours a dark ale, ripe orange, medium brown, and dark carrot. Taste is very bitter, hoppy, floral and citrus upfront, still bitter, and slight malt and more bitter in the aftertaste. A fresh and distinct ipa here, seems more like a dark ale at times. Head eases in and then remains thin througout the brew. The bitterness stays on the tounge well after the drink is finished. this is a gentlemans ipa.
Orlando, FL - Whole Foods - 12 oz bottle. Dark copper pour, slight murkiness, nice off-white head that leaves a trace of lacing. Aroma has some butter scotch notes, traces of vanilla. Solid bitter flavor with some grapefruit citrus notes, some vanilla in the background, a touch of butterscotch. Thick enough mouthfeel. Decent.
22 ounce bottle - $3.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours out a clouded, dark dirty copper body with an inch of off-white head leaving sticky laceworks on the descent.
Smell: Malt blend presenting notes of bread, toast, and a bit of caramel. Hops throwing off hints of citrus zest and reserved resins.
Taste: Bready, toasty maltiness with a scant sliver of caramel. There’s some sweetness, but not too much, really. Grapefruit and bitter orange hop flavors with a medium-plus bitterness. Small hint of earthy resins underneath. Bready yeastiness. Bittersweet finish with a bready flavor and touch of citrus enduring into the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Overall: Decently drinkable, I thought it was OK. A beer that gets the job done.
bomber. Deeper copper ale w/ malt nose backed in slight grapefruit. Taste follows suit w/ malts & a long hop finish. $4.
From bottle to tulip. Not much aroma. Nice hoppy flavor with a little sweetness but not overwhelming.
12oz bottle pours orange amber with a white head. Floral aroma with notes of tangerine grassy hops and slight lemon zest also some pine. Flavor is bright and bitter. Body is medium with an astringent mouthfeel. Finish leaves pine and citrus rind
Pour is amber and cloudy like unfiltered honey. Medium off white head that sticks to glass. Hoppy and a little bitter with a little malt at the end. The more I drink the more a floral, spruce, Pine note stands out and the flavors stay on your palate.
On tap; poured a very orange/amber with a off white head. Aroma of caramel, earth, fruit, pine and sweetness. Flavor was very earthy with some moderate caramel/breadiness. A bit of a one note pony; quite earthy. Just ok.
Dark 24 karat pour with some hints of copper, brass, and tangerine. Nice balance of citrus, tart pithy qualities, subtle pine, and caramel. Nothing off-putting but wouldn’t go out of my way to pick up another bottle.
