Bottle, my 100th IPA rating. Pours brass color with thin offwhite head. The aroma is citrus with some woody and herbal notes. The flavor is honeyish malts with citric and earthy hops. Medium bitterness with a somewhat dull finish. Very textbook, but easy to drink.

Bottle, as they were out at the brewery tasting. Very typical of the style. Over hopped and under malted. As a hop head, I can get into this, though.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 ChainGangGuy (3682) - Canton, Georgia, USA - DEC 16, 2007
Appearance: Pours a clear, light orange-hued body with a lush, bubby off-white head.
Smell: Pleasantly aromatic nose of citrus and soap with a mild addition of caramel malts.
Taste: Juicy citrus flavors of lemon and tangerine. Only a faint hint of caramel as not too much maltiness shows up. There’s a medium bitterness which drops out for a pretty clean, light finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It could use a bit more of everything, but as it stands it’s still a decent, easy drinking light IPA.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 raphael (621) - Portland, Oregon, USA - APR 3, 2007
aroma more sweet then hoppy, though the nose hairs know. egg whites. clear blondish amber with measly off-white head. wants to linger in the mouth a little, though light in weight. gives the tongue just a pinch. while the hops are clearly present I appreciate the malt presence, more weight than sweetness, as good grain should, cleanly. would be a great session beer, a little hoppier than most, but of a good weight & lack of lingering.

0.355 l bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2009. Orange color. The aromas of juicy hops with orange and apricot. Orange-apricot hop flavor with toffee. The bitterness is firm but could be still stronger. Pleasant easy IPA.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden amber with a fluffy white head. Sweet citrus and pine aroma. Light, watery body and medium carbonation. Taste is lightly sweet toffee and citrus with a crisp spruce finish. Everything about this beer except the 6.4 ABV says lawnmower.
