Awesome aroma of hops that get me just like when you open up the seal on a pouch of them. The taste has plenty of hop flavor but not overpowering bitterness. Excellent stuff.

Best beer I've had in a great long while. If I was trapped on a desert island with only one beer to drink, this would be it! Delicious!

Sweeter than expected. Overall a delicious brew. Will be buying plenty of it while I can.

A great beer. I had one so i bought a second. I've never had a brown shugga so I can't compare.

Slight hop, citrus notes abundant

This was a pleasant surprise. I'm stating to enjoy a hoppy beer. But here is why also. I prefer those big hoped beers that are more grapefruit than piney. This is a great product if your like me. Loved the big grapefruit taste without a bitter finish. Even though its high IBU, its a more citrus hop. Love their product.

I'm a big IPA and DIPA fan and didn't even realize this was one until I tasted it. Floral and citrus nose with some apricot. Hop forward but well balanced with some piney notes. Good stuff.

One of the favorites. Tends to ride the line between your fruity ipas and good brown ales. Strong hints of pineapple. Dare it be called sessionable.

I really like this a lot. Clearly an IPA. Hoppy, bite, nice and potent (7.85%!!!!). Only the tastiest of aftertastes. Highly recommended, especially for a "substitute"!
