AgentSteve (621), Livermore, California, USA Jul 22, 2008 From the can, pours an attractive clear copper with three finger frothy cream colored head. Nose is sweet, yet hoppy, floral and pineapple. The flavor is the same, with a clean slight bitter finish. Very nice IPA. doubleo (683), San Diego, California, USA Jun 30, 2008 On-tap at the brewpub. Pours slightly hazy orange, thin white head, some sticky lace. Smells crisp and light hoppy, floral. Tastes nice and sweet hoppy, floral. Almost fruity, with a lingering bitterness. Medium/thin body, good carbonation. bgburdman9 (708), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jun 24, 2008 An old rating i finally got to entering. Aroma was some earthiness and some hops. Flavor was thin and lightly bitter. buzzoven (72), Japan Jun 10, 2008 Gift from the Thrashmaster. This one surprised me. Very subtle flavour and taste...very smooth pleasant mouthfeel. Uhh...this is from a can? Yes! Got even better as it warmed up. Some of the alcohool was much more noticeable in the finish. Bitter hops here...but nothing too aggressive...just a well balanced, highly enjoyable brew. I’d love to drink this back to back with Shiga Kogen House IPA and compare...both seem uncannily similair. Goodgrief (995), Middletown, Delaware, USA May 26, 2008 Copper pour, thin head, but decent lacing. Weak aroma of grapefruit. A nice sweet malty base is overtop a hop profile full of grapefruit and pine cones. A nice blend of sweetness and bitterness. Well done.
