Who's been drinking this

Pretty well rounded - citrus and resin and a balanced malt character, not too bitter.
Bottle at Home
A good IPA. Cuts the right balance between hop flavor and malty balance. This IPA gives pretty good hop flavors when rolled in the mouth, releasing more the more time savored. The hops are a bit floral, a bit grassy, not quite as good as the hops in some Stone IPAs but not bad. One issue with this beer is that if left on the tongue too long it finishes with a distinct alcohol flavor (in general it has a not-too-bitter finish) all in all not bad, not great.
Bottle at Home
Not too offensive, fragrant citrus smell and flavor but not a whole lot of interestingness. The finish starts off light but is the kind of pithy bitterness that builds over time.
