Man, maybe just slightly better than average but no way does it live up to some of these old reviews! Maybe they changed the recipe, I don't know. It looks like a fairly typical IPA, slight gold and orange, white foamy head. Smell is pretty tame, just average I would say. The flavor is certainly bitter but then it's all metallic after that, just not that good.

Aroma is strong and hoppy, as the aroma for a good IPA should be. There is a firm citrusy undertone, mainly grapefruit. It pours a hazy dark honey-golden with a fairly thick and somewhat persistent off-white head. Flavor is mildly hoppy with a grapefruit undertone, not quite as good as what the aroma promised. Texture is fairly fizzy and leaves behind a nice tingle.

This beer had a ton of foam, over-carbed like you would not beleive. The aroma was not that good, the flavor existed but did not taste that good. I did not think i could not like an IPA , i was wrong.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy brownish gold with a thin white head that quickly goes to a thin film.

The aroma is bright and fruity (lemon) hops with some grains in the background.

The flavor is fruity, piney and grassy hops with some grains and a good bitter finish that lingers in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation and kind of watery.

Overall, it's pretty one-dimensiona and a bit thinl, but it's a very good IPA and one of my favorites from Arbor.

Bottle. Poured a very murky copper color with a thick white head and the most sediment I've ever seen in a beer (which is a positive for me). Strong lacing. Aroma is very hoppy and citrusy. Mouthfeel is very nice. Flavor is a rush of hops and grapefruit. Bitter finish. This beer was a lot better than I expected. Solid beer.

Extra strong hop bite and very little aftertaste. Best straight from the the pump at the brewery. Very little bad to say except watch your ass; happy hour with no food and this bastard hits you quick.

Funny bottle, as there is a sticky label on the neck letting you know what style beer you have. I love it. Be VERY careful pouring this, as there is a ton of foam. This stuff is beautiful. Dry, bitter and malty all in one mouthfull.
