Bottle: Poured a cloudy orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of bitter and floral hoppy notes with a big malt backbone. Taste is also dominated by some floral and hoppy notes with a huge light caramel malt backbone. Medium body with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. While this beer is very good overall I would have expected more hops for the style.

Jul 22, 2008 (Sampled 7-7-08) 22 oz. bottle poured into shaker- poured an ominous copper amber, faint tan head bubbled and laced away, aroma of malt with hops everywhere. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt comes in first, then some sweetness shows itself in the middle. The finish turns all that into a mild hop burn that lasts for a few minutes. Very delightful... and potent!!!

Jul 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark orange color with a large, fluffy white head. Aroma of piney hop resin. Initially, the flavor is bready malt. The hops are there, but not as much as I would’ve liked. Mainly citrus hops. Finish is a bit bitter with some alcohol.

Jul 17, 2008 the beer is a typical colored IIPA with a nice fluffy white head. Pretty typical orange, grapefruit, lemon zest aroma, but nicely balanced. The flavor is not nearly as hoppy as I expected, and what hops are there are notably lacking in fruity flavors. The hops provide more of the weedy flavor with a little lemon.
