22oz bottle-pours a rich to rocky off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is sweet lemon zest-citrus (Amarillo), pine hops-bite (also cascade?), secondary/faint medium malt-caramel. Taste is solid, sessionable, just off from the great aroma, sweet lemon zest-citrus (Amarillo), pine hops-some bite (also cascade?), secondary medium malt-caramel.. Further in the taste gets closer to the aroma and the bite strengthens a bit. Nice American IPA. OK/mild carbonation.

Mar 16, 2010 Shipped to me by my wife on a trip out west. Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy vibrant orange color with a huge yellow-white head that lingered. The aroma was sweet pine, grapefruit and orange. The flavor was strong sweet grapefruit, pine and orange with notes of nut and pepper underneath. The finish was long with fruity hops. Fairly full bodied. Well done.

Mar 15, 2010 Bottle. A hazy dark golden beer with a huge, creamy, lacing, fully lasting beige head. The aroma is strong with an average maltiness. Hugely hoppy. There are notes of grapefruit, pine needles, resin, tropical fruits, with monor notes of caramel and biscuits. The flavour is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Quite well balanced for the style, that said very hoppy. Medium body, lively carbonation, nice creamy mouthfeel, dry and very long finish with high bitterness, lightly abrasive (fortunately). One of the best IPAs I’ve tasted so far.

Mar 9, 2010 Bottle from brewolf...thanks Michael! - Pours clear amber with a massive foamy white head. Aroma is malty sweetness colliding with some citrusy, grassy hops, a little licorice, and some light, mild spiciness. Taste is lightly sweet malt with some bitter, grassy hops that intensify all the way through the finish. Unfortunately, it’s just not my favorite hop profile. It has a wonderful mouthfeel, smooth and velvety in the mouth, with the bitter resin coating the cheeks. It just sits there, drying your mouth out pleasantly, but leaving behind a nasty aftertaste. I guess I liked the subtlety of the Anvil ESB better, but this was a decent IPA as well--just not as great as I was expecting.

Mar 4, 2010 On draught from Local on 4th.. Pours a very familiar cloudy, hazy apricot with a touch of white head foaming at the top.. the smell of faint vanilla beans and that lovely pine infused hopiness that begs me for just another wiff, like a perfume pusher at the mall only this I must also taste... The initial hit to the palate is of course dressed with some bitterness but very well overall with notes of floral hops, citrus and a nice touch of caramel or as crazy as this sounds almost a marshmallow taste on the back of the bite.. Drinks extremely smooth for an IPA and I cant believe Ive already asked for another... Its a very well constructed IPA all the way around and one that will definitely make it into the rotation. I cant believe it took me this long to finally rate it..

Mar 1, 2010 Pours a light yellow. Aroma is of honey and grassy hops. Taste is pretty light, mostly of hops, but also hops. A little disappointing.

Feb 27, 2010 My sample had a very high CO2 content, almost Champagne like. At first I was worried that the beer was infected, but it tasted clean and fresh. The nose is ripe and busting with fruit and yeast aromas. The palate is medium in body with a crisp dryness that lingers with flavor hops through the finish. I would like to do a side by side with Two Hearted.
