From a can thanks to Derek from The Brewing Network Forums for sending this out to me in a trade. Pours a translucent golden copper with an average off white creamy head that left lacing. Aroma of fresh hops, citrus, floral, some pine a lovely fruitiness that was balanced with some caramel malt. Flavor of pine, grapefruit, bitterness was just about right on with some caramel sweetness that was peaking through. Very solid IPA...wishing this one was shipped out to PA!

Thanks to elnadeau for this. In a can, a great beer. This is an IPA I’d have again. A goood looking golden pour with a frothy white head, nice piney/citrus aroma followed by a flavor that’s hoppy up front with some solid malt backing. Great brew

Can: Poured a lightly hazed copper color with a meidum off-white head. Caramel malty aroma up front with a citrus and fruity hop. Light earthy notes as well. Given a little warmth and the hops took over. Nice mix of hop flavors and sweet malt. Mild bitterness on the finish with a medium body.

BBB63 (5022) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - SEP 9, 2006
Can from Tom and served in my GI IPA glass: Clean deep orangy golden hue with a lasting frothy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of piney and grapefruit hop esters, some clove and pepper vapors, biscuity malt, and some mineral esters. The taste follows suit with a nice pungent hop character supported by pale malt. Lot of citric and hop spice throughout. Nicely balanced and very drinkable. Yet again another beer in a can that is beer geek worthy. YUMMY!

On tap at the brewery and then again from a can (took home a sixer). Pours orange amber, hop dominated aroma is citrus fruity & pine. Nice malt backbone balances delicious hop profile, oily bitter and fruity. An impressive example of the style, should have bought a case.

Can courtesy of Naven. Popped the top and WOW!- this is one of the best hop aromas I have ever sniffed. Beautiful pour w/ great lacing. This beer tastes like a Dbl IPA but drinks like an IPA. Excellent, truly excellent. My new favorite IPA.
