Pint bottle from Chef Chad: clear copper pour with a thin creamy head and light spotty lacing. Pleasant floral and sweet aroma with some honeysuckle, caramel malts, peaches, muscadines. Taste is clean with a sweet and floral balance, light caramel malts, slight honey and honeysuckle, light peaches and apricots, little bitter linger. Very refreshing and tasty. Thank you Chef Chad for this little nectar that is "The Gospel of Hops."

Poured a clear amber color with a frothy white head. Had aromas of hops and pine needles with some grassy earthy flavors and an overall fresh characteristic. Slight malt in the flavor to balance. Incredible.

Another good beer complimentary of Beerhunter: Poured a bright copper colour with a medium sized off white head. Creamy immediately- lots of carbonation but fun and spritzy in the finish. Caramel like notes, very floral, sweet candy like-brown sugar blabla- something that resembled that. Soft and hoppy, with decent lacing down the glass. A fun well hopped brew from Nebraska- my first!

Poured an orangey copper color with a decent initial head that quickly fizzled away, left only a thin covering. Lacing was ok. The aroma was floral, caramel, spicey. The flavor was caramel, nutty, herbal hops, pine, citrus, floral, spicey (believe it or not, coriander was seemingly in this). Somewhat of trainwreck of flavors clashing together, too noisy to be a good IPA, a hoppy amber ale maybe. Odd part was, for the amount of color and noisy flavors, this thing was still thin as water.

From a can. Poured a dark copper color with an off white head that didn't last long. Aroma was light with standard hop/citrus undertones. Mouthfeel was slightly thin but smooth. Flavor was a lot sweeter than expected. Even hints of caramel detected. Not what I'd consider an IPA, but an ok beer.

Can. Poured a clear copper color (darker than most IPAs) with a thick off-white head. Aroma is hoppy and citrusy. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is hoppy, but not too flavorful. Bitter grapefruit/pine finish. A nice beer (especially in a can), but more of an APA than an IPA, IMO.

Really cool green can. This has a good "c" hop aroma, but the flavor fails to follow up with anything close. The flavor ends up being a bit thin and bland, which is a shame given that aroma.

On tap at Crescent Moon in Omaha. Dark amber color, with small head that disappeared quickly with a little lacing. Smell is citrusy, floral and some pine. Not much hop aroma to it. Taste starts out kind of sweet with some caramel. Not very much hop bitterness, and very little carbonation. Not quite what I was expecting for an IPA.
