UPDATED: MAY 4, 2010 Growler thanks to thirdeye11. Pours with a copper body and a large tan head. Aroma is quite hoppy with some pine needles, mango, apricot and earth. Taste is really nice with caramel and a nice hoppy, pine like punch. Light bubbles. Really a solid IPA! Quite drinkable!
Lots of tangarine when rerating, pretty awesome.

A: The pour is a golden amber color with a big white head and some spotty lacing.
S: A nice bit of sweet tropical fruits and citrus on the nose along with a substantial caramel malt base. A fair amount of grapefruit notes and subtle pine.
T: The flavor tends toward the sweet side initially, mostly caramel and some brown sugar. The hops come shortly after and have a nice bitterness to them. Some slightly bitter and slightly sweet grapefruit, too.
M: The body is medium with a moderate level of carbonation. Kind of heavy and chewy for an IPA.
D: For a sweeter IPA, I found this one to actually be quite drinkable and enjoyable. A very nicely balanced beer.
