Tap. Amber ale with nice light hops aroma. Good hops and citrus in mouth. Some resinous notes. Good bodied. (June 2004).

Pours a dark amber in color. A very nice four inch of head forms on the pour. Took a couple seconds to make room in the glass to finish the pour. Smell is floral hops. Taste is creamy, well balanced hops. Not very assertive, over the top hops, but well put together. This is a very malty IPA. I’ve had several canned beers and this is the first one where I swear I get a metallic hint in the beer. Very good nonetheless.

Aromas of light hoppy florals and citrus. Some sweet pale and caramel malts. Clear golden pour with a thin head. Nice smooth maltiness upfront followed by a nice bitterness profile that consists of earthy floral hops and light citrus skins. Smooth medium carbonation renders this beer nicely drinkable. Some hoppy resins linger on the palate in the form of moderate dryness.

12oz. can. Dark gold color, nice white head that clings very well. Lots of piney, grassy hops in the nose. Nice hop bitterness, well balanced malts as well. Very good IPA.

Thanks to cloudskipper for this one. Slightly hazy amber brew topped by a creamy white head. Aroma is lovely. Bright citrusy hops, light caramel and some orange peel. A light bit of pine resin. Smooth creamy palate. Sticky hops and a light caramelly sweetness. It’s still very hoppy with a light smooth bitterness Simple and tasty, well-made IPA. As it warms, it gets lightly perfumey on top of the citrus. Nice brew.
