Feb 7, 2010 IPA’s are usually too hoppy for me, but this one was enjoyable. Huge taste difference between bottle and chilled glass. Bitterness was lessened in glass and allowed for subtle sweetness and citrus note. Very strong, hoppy flavor nonetheless. Just a little too much carbonation for me. Overall a great beer.

Feb 2, 2010 Nice aroma of earth, pine and citrus hops, light fruit. Slightly hazy, orange/gold appearance, fluffy white head. The flavor is nice also, caramel, fruit, citrus. The finish is some citrus, but mainly pine hops. Noth earth shattering, but very solidly made.

Jan 31, 2010 Glass. Pours a hazy peach-amber color with an off-white, MONSTROUS 4 finger head. A frothy, and long lasting one too. Very nice lacing though. Nose is centennial hops, overwhelming mandarin, floral , grapefruit. Palate is light, oily, and smooth. Very satisfying. Taste is mildly hoppy, slight alcohol presence, mandarin undertones, i get some slight lemon notes, grapefruit, with a long hop, floral and citrus finish. Very, Very nice IPA.

Jan 26, 2010 Bottle. Pours a clear yellow beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is hops with citrus. The flavor follows the nose with an intense taste of american hops. The palate is bitter. Overall this beer is just fantastic, balanced and easy drinkable.

Jan 25, 2010 Pours a hazy, golden orange with a huge white head. The aroma is strong citrus and pine hops. The flavor is more of the same, without the bitterness you sometimes get in West Coast IPAs. Even without the bitterness, there is tons of hop flavor. Medium mouthfeel and carbonation.

Jan 23, 2010 Bomber via trade, many thanks to phaleslu. Pours slightly hazy, peach-amber with a chunky 3-4 finger yellowish-off white head that has great retention and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is huge on citrus a little pine, wildflowers, mandarin, toasted white bread, underripe mullberries, crisp mineral notes and fairly bitter hop/grapefruit finish. Palate is light to medium bodied with a strong, pillowy carbonation that is never too sharp but helps provide a velvety overall feel, before the slightly dry finish. Overall this is a great IPA, easily one of the best I have had.

Jan 22, 2010 Bottle. Poured gold with an amber hue and a thick white head that lasted throughout the beer. Aroma was full of citrus and pine notes with a sweet undertone. Flavor began with hops and resin with a nice citrus and floral finish.

Jan 20, 2010 Light amber pour with fizzy bubbles rising up into an enormous full pillowy white head that wont get the hell out of my way to get my lips in there. Aroma is sweet citrusy hops with a really nice malty backcone with some light black cherry soda and some sweet vanilla. The hopping is earthy, resinous with tangy orange and lemon notes as well. Flavor is complex, earthy malts with vanilla, grass, and woody bark - Hops provide the perfect balance with sweet leafy and citrus spiciness. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. Warms the mouth with a touch of alcohol and some spiciness resides in the mouth for a minute or two after a sip. Nice, but I’d love to try some fresh, it’d probably tack another point onto aroma and flavor.
