Feb 8, 2010 Nice aroma of bread, caramel, fruit, peach, citrus. The appearance is slightly hazy yellow, tinge of orange, white head. The flavor is bread dough, caramel, flowers. The finish is a nice floral hop bittering. the mouthfeel is slightly sticky, the body is medium to thick, noticeable carbonation. Very nice IIPA, but a little more malty than hoppy.

Feb 8, 2010 Bottle. Outstanding IPA. Rich, dark-amber pour with a firm, off-white head. Aroma of pine and floral hops. Flavor has huge bitterness and yet still strikes the drinker as well-balanced, what with the hearty doses of malts. Mildly resiny mouthfeel and a crisp, sticky, lip-smacking finish.

Feb 7, 2010 On tap at the eccentric cafe. Nose is sweet citrus. Pours a golden orange with a fragrant white pale to white head. Has some bright citrus and sweetness, but the bitterness comes across almost earthy. A little different from your average IPA.

Feb 6, 2010 HOPPY! Burns the nostrils in a good way. Generous use of bittering and finishing (and dry-hopping) hops gives this ale a HUGE nose. Pours coppery-clear with large tan head and good retention. Lots of lacing. Medium light and caramel malt goodness, but tilts decidedly toward the bitter end of the scale. Lingering piney hops bitterness and just a tiny bit of heat. Did I mention hops? For beer drinkers who want to know they’re drinking beer. A great IPA.

Feb 6, 2010 Bottle. Impressive grapefruit and floral taste, much too easy to drink beer... Very good indeed but a little over-rated as I had better IPA’s: not a Corne du Diable, not a Postcolonial, not even a Titan...

Feb 5, 2010 Pours a clear golden with white head. Very resin hops taste, sweet, malty, citrus, fruity, very rich. Similar taste, everything balanced. Another fantastic offering from Bells.

Feb 5, 2010 Clear and transparent Smells like crisp, fresh, citrus, light, tropical delight. Mango, pineapple, and coconut. Tastes outstanding. Clean and fresh yet oh so full bodied. So balanced. Harmonious lovely beer.

Feb 3, 2010 On tap at Mad Mex, served in a shaker (unfortunately). This hazy orange-bronze brew sports a nice foamy white head which, as it dissipates, yields a sweet floral hop aroma with added dimensions of coriander, citrus fruit, spruce, and subdued malts. The flavor follows the aroma, but the fruitiness is accentuated with soft stonefruits (peaches and apricots). The hops and malts are nicely balanced. Quite good.
