First of all, I've never met an IPA that I liked. Don't like the bitterness of hops. Still true with this most famous IPA. But with the nice floral taste, IF I liked bitterness of hops, I would like this one . Most beer "connoisseurs" who rate on Beer Genie must be IPA lovers . OK, I get it.

This has the be one of the most balanced IPAs I've ever had. While I tend to like my IPAs a tad hoppier there was something speci about this brew.

Great west coast style APA 4.5
I would have given this a five but being in Illinois you can't get this out here

INCREDIBLY well-balanced. Pours a dark golden-orange with a finger head that stays throughout. Lots of floral notes on the nose as well as citrus. The taste opens up exactly the way the nose suggests. Leaves a very light mouthfeel without being dry. Wonderful beer.
5/3/15 from bottle to pint glass

Over-rated and hoppy as hell. Okay for a hop bomb i guess, but there are better hop bombs!

Very smooth hoppy taste with a very hoppy aftertaste.
