downender (10656) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 6, 2019UPDATED: DEC 6, 2019 Bottle. Hazy and amber in colour, with a thin, white, head. Aroma of tangerine fruits with some citrus hops. Flavour had more fruit, a touch of white pepper, rich tea malts, and a dryish finish. Fine.

BroSpud (2643) - , Massachusetts, USA - MAY 23, 2018On tap at Pave Mint in Front Royal. First beer after a week of backpacking so this may have seemed better than it really is. Initial impressions were that it was a solid, fresh tasting west coast style IPA (which is all I really need).
LLCoolDave (1277) - San Antonio, Texas, USA - DEC 15, 2017UPDATED: DEC 15, 2017 Dark honey color in the glass. Soapy Irish Spring aroma. Clean bitter citrus flavor with a nice dry astringent feel on the palate. Overall, a good brew. thanks to Dandman629 for his generosity!
Braudog (8154) - Yorktown, Virginia, USA - SEP 10, 2017Bottle. Rusty and ruddy, this is a darker pour than I anticipated. Mildly frothy with some good-but-thin suds. The aroma is rustic and warming. That same impression carries to the palate, both metallic and woodsy, like licking a log cabin. Flavorful, well balanced, meaty.

mansquito (12992) - Nueva York, New York, USA - NOV 16, 2016Somewhere in Virginia: pours a bronze amber color with an off white head. Aroma is citrus with a good bit of pine and some other fruitiness. Did not really see this as being too good kf an example of what a west coast IPA is. Not bad though.
