vyvvy (1689), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Jun 28, 2006 This was quite a dissapointing beer from a brewery I hold in very high regard. Pours copper with a soapy head. Aroma is musty and floral with nothing coming of as clean. Medium body with soft carbonation. Very littel malt to be seen here, very hop heavy. Starts off with citrus and grapefruit that is sharp and dry, then it gets quite bitter with piney / paper hoppiness. An okay IPA, this should have been better.
mjs (512), Helsinki, Finland Sep 3, 2008 (Bottle) Pale orange. Hazy. Medium sized quickly disappearing white head. Grassy nose. Medium bodied palate with lot of carbonation. Grass, grapefruit, bitterness, citric flavours in general and fruitiness in taste. Long fruity and bitter aftertaste. TBone (4975), Pori, Finland Sep 2, 2008 Bottled
Hazy orange color, decent off-white head. Rye-bready, honeyish hoppy aroma. Bready, hoppy, pale malty with crisp carbonation. Some sweetness in the aftertaste. Not really IPA, more like an APA. Quite similar to NC’s Red Seal Ale. bethmatt0421 (285), Covington, Kentucky, USA Sep 1, 2008 I like Nik925 description, calling it an "India Pale Lager." Malts are thicker than you find in most IPA’s and the hops are barely noticeable hiding underneath the yeast. This is a lager with a fair hop bite, but thats just my opinion. Nik925 (127), California, USA Sep 1, 2008 Poorly hopped, thin flavors. I would describe it as a India Pale Lager as there is the yeast notes are that of a lager. Metallic, thin, yet still too bitter at the same time. A average beer, but a poor IPA. SuperDave70 (765), Arizona, USA Aug 31, 2008 Lightly hazy golden pour with a small foamy head that dissolved away. Aroma of light pine hops and toasted caramel malt. Flavor is much the same, with the hops barely beating out the malt. Nothing really amazing here, just a fairly standard 6 pack IPA.
