Sep 25, 2009 On tap at Alesmith. Pours cloudy yellow/golden with huge foamy white head. Has a strong citrus, pine nose. Very refreshing taste with a huge citrus component and a little on the bitter side. Excellent!

Sep 25, 2009 Nice color and citrus hop smell..... hit the spot. Not to much like a double but more than your typical IPA

Sep 18, 2009 Updated: Oct 4, 2009This is very tasty. Nice lush mouthfeel - moreso than your average IPA. Pours orange hue with soft frothy head. Aroma is the expected pine, floral, citrus. Taste really flavorful blend of strong hops and malt for a solid IPA.

Sep 16, 2009 A solid, aggressive IPA. Straw color in the glass, aromas ascend to reveal a pungent citrus, pine, hopcit aroma and a malt that isn’t quite caramel and isn’t quite oat, but occupies someplace in the middle. Hops on the palate, too, and a bitter but rounded mouthfeel. The hops here are mitigated by the alcohol and tamed a bit as you down the glass. Respectable stuff made with great attention to detail.

Sep 16, 2009 Big piney citrus aromas with some peppery spice. Pours golden with a white head. Very earthy bitter hops with some resin flavors strong malt backbone with good mouthfeel. Pretty solid IPA.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottled. Auction won ! Oh sweet messiah you have come!. Dark orange pour with jumbo sized head. Some sediment particles floated on top. (I drank them all) A fesh hop aroma that hand shakes it neighboring malt and sweetness. Great hop taste, piney good blend.
Very good. Ale Smith rocks!

Sep 11, 2009 nose is very soapy with hints of yeasty rising bread and mixed citrus. pours thin and crisp clear at the top of the bottle, trasitioning to a murchy sediment filled hazyness by the last pour, very nice. i managed to get over 1" of head over the rim opf the glass without spilling over, then lingered there for a couple of minutes, perfect head and retention. flavor is just great, hops and a very, i mean very fruity citrus finish. the palate is very thick and velvety, great. had the nose been better this would have gotten a near perfect score.
