Jan 10, 2009 On tap at Novare Res. Arcadia Ales seems to me like a dark/malty beer specialist. This beer really drove the point home. The malt profile still dominated this I2PA. Needs more hops to be in this style.

Jan 4, 2009 Tulip glass from bottle. Pours a murky amber, with a pure white fluff of a head. Pine, orange, grapefruit, some floral aroma. Orange and citrus flavor that hits and dies quickly, crisp and refreshing. Foamy biting mouthfeel, with no real residual aftertaste.

Dec 8, 2008 12 oz bottle pours a cloudy golden orange with a large foamy/bubbly/creamy off white head that left a bunch of sticky lacing down the side of the glass. Aroma was a wonderful mix of pink grapefruit, pine, floral hop notes, malty sweetness, caramel and lots of orange. Actually I spend more time with this the orange hard candy notes are really coming across in the nose. Flavor of a bunch of hoppy goodness. Pine, orange, grapefruit, very resinous, lots of sweet caramel malts, some cereal grains, light alcohol present especially as it warms up a bit. Hop bitterness is surely there, but the malt sweetness of this hop bomb helps it from being too over the top bitter.

Oct 25, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours orange amber with some floating debris and a stable off-white head. Aroma very citrusy hops with a touch of spiciness and a definite sweetness, but a little weak overall. Flavor is nice and hoppy citrus with a bit of sweetness. Nice bitterness, but a bit of alcohol pokes through in the flavor. Bitter, dry finish with some biscuit flavors. A pretty nice, simple IIPA.

Oct 21, 2008 GABF 2008. Clear bright golden colour, resinous aroma with detectable sweet malts. Palate is a little on the thin side for a beer this size, but the hop quotient is there with lots of grapefruit and resin.
