The taste of this IPA was excitingly delicious. There was a lot of aromas and flavors present and they were blended well together. When the first first hit my taste buds there was a explosion of flavor, with each of the flavors having there own identity. I couldn't get enough of this beer and IPA is not a style that I prefer. I was angry when I was finished I only had the one bottle, because my taste buds were having a orgy in my mouth.

Mouthfeel:
Lively Carbonation
Full-Bodied Beer
Well Balanced Beer With A Hint Of Sweetness On The Tip Of Your Tongue
Mouthwatering/Deliciously Refreshing
Hop-Bomb But It Was Not Overwhelming
Smooth/Creamy Palate

I myself am not a fan of the IPA style of beer, but this beer is going to make me re-evaluate IPA style. I like Sierra Nevada IPA and I am going to place this beer up there in that category, when it comes to quality.
I never heard of this brewery, but now I'm going to keep a eye out for this beer and brewery products. If you can find this beer, I recommend you try this beer. 

5 Out Of 6
Definitely Want A Sixer
