jmcguire1969 (144), Lafayette, Colorado, USA Jul 21, 2007 This is a good beer but more like a APA style rather than IPA. The hops in this one have a great fruity flavor to them and it finished with a nice mild bitterness. Very nice. Thanks to JDean who brought some back from a trip home.
Skinnyviking (2965), Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 21, 2008 Draught. High creamy and lasting white head. Clear yellow body. Dry fruity lemon grapefruit aroma and flavor. High carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste. Gypsy19 (252), AMERICA RISING, USA Oct 16, 2008 A little weak for an IPA in my opinion, but decent overall. It’s a very ordinary IPA, indistinguishable from so many other IPAs, though a little less flavorful than most also. Drinkable; Nothing more, nothing less. kmweaver (2273), Nicaragua Oct 8, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a bright, clear, medium tarnished copper color; mixed-bubbled white head with good retention and lacing. Basic earthy and citrus bitterness in the aroma; a touch watery. Medium mouthfeel: lots of chewy, slightly astringent earthy and citrus-laden hoppiness upfront; very light metallic note present, with a basic candy sugar malt character; strong bitterness and a touch of astringency; slightly off. Medium finish: citrus and earthy bitterness, basic core maltiness, and some floral notes. iowaherkeye (1427), relocated to Santa Rosa f/Iowa, California, USA Oct 5, 2008 22oz bomber, stamped A092008--something about September 20th? Hopefully not the best by date. Purchased @ Bottle Barn. Aroma has pine and pine air fresheners, light perfume, and some watered-down caramel malts. Clear golden with a one finger off-white head, fading to a think film and thick ring. Flavor leans more malty, though not watered-down this time. There is still the soft pine notes, and floral perfume does come across a bit in the finish, which is semi-dry. Bitterness peaks at a 3-4. Moderate carbonation with a medium body. A good IPA. Not a West Coast hop bomb, but good. fiulijn (6010), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Oct 5, 2008 <i>Draught at the Yardhouse, Las Vegas</i><br />Deep blond color. Light hop aroma. some caramel flavor with light sweetness, some hopping. Unoffensive.
