COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The very intense, complex aromatic character with a refreshing, crisp finish is achieved by dry hopping. The fruity, citrusy aroma is a nice complement with grilled prawns and spicy foods.

On tap. The pour was very light copper in color with a super short white head that created average lacing. The aroma was nice with some soft citrus, floral and a bit of pine hops. The flavor was a combination of the aforementioned hops and some spice and malt. A thin bodied, easy drinking IPA.

Bomber. Appearance was nice with a white head and lots of bubbles. Mild aroma of pine and hops. Flavor was fruity with pine and hops. Body was lacking a little. Light? Possibly. Drinkable yes. Just lacking something.

Gregis (1250) - Shawnee, Kansas, USA - JUN 28, 2009
Pours a nearly clear gold with a thin beige head and sheeting lace. This is one of the palest and clearest IPAs that I’ve ever seen. The nose is floral, fruity and lightly citric with a mild pale malt note in support; pretty subdued for the style. On the medium side of light-bodied, the palate is fairly quaffable. While it’s not quite "slick" it’s fairly poundable for an IPA, finishing with a subdued bitterness. Mirroring the aroma, only with a touch more intensity and better integration, the flavor is a blend of floral, fruity and lightly citric hop notes over a light malt backing. While I’ve had several IPAs that are more pleasing to the nose and palate, I can think of no other that matches this one for quaffability. (I love making up words.) Overall, its a decent IPA disguised as a pretty solid session beer. Given it’s ABV, that has the potential to be a dangerous combination.

phaleslu (3182) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - APR 18, 2011
Draft sample at the Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition Festival. Pours a mostly clear orange-golden color with a finger-thick eggshell white head. Aroma of floral hops, orange citrus, sweet and caramel malts, and a bit of pine. Flavor of floral hops, orange peel, caramel malts, pine resin, and honey. Light-medium bodied, with a floral, resinous mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Decent IPA, and really easy to drink.
