12 oz. bottle courtesy/split with Naka. Pours golden with amber hues and has a foamy, two finder white head that looks rocky. Grassy, floral hop nose, slight caramel. Decent lacing. Bottle seems a bit old. Bitter with a little hop flavor, slight metallic and some astringency at the end. Need to try this one again as it has some serious promise.

Jun 28, 2008 on tap in gettysburg... clear gold with some brownish hues and lots of drippy white lacing. floral aroma noted with grapefruit, orange, light pine, grass and caramel a smidge of caramel. the flavor is mostly caramel, grain and honey and touches of pine, citrus and dryness from hops. bittersweet finish. medium body seems rather rich and smooth since there is little bitterness to ’thin’ it out.

May 18, 2008 (abbreviated review, due to short notes) - Light hop, thin mouthfeel and weak taste, slightly sweet.

Apr 20, 2008 Pours a clear orange golden color with a thick foamy head. Some excellent lacing. The hop nose is very heavy on the floral. A little honey and brown sugar as well. The flavor is actually mostly malty. Honey with a little flowery bitterness in the finish. There is a strange rusty metallic flavor as well. Perhaps this bottle is a little bit old. The hop flavor is really weak.

Mar 3, 2008 Bottle: Transparent bright copper orange pour has a large, spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel sugar and some mildly earthy piny hops. Starts lightly sweet and fairly full bodied with a decent grapefruity citrusy hop balance before a smooth, bittersweet finish. A decent and drinkable IPA.
