An English style IPA that utilizes American hops, I found this offering to be tasty and satisfying in it’s own right. A sweet, nutty, grassy aroma with some fresh flowers and pine. Glowing light copper pour with a thick, off white head and rings of heavy lacing. Pleasant bitter bite rounded out by some sweetness. Calm malt body, this beer is nice and refreshing. Caramel and toffee flavors coupled by evergreen and lemon. A balanced IPA that is subdued enough to enjoy a few, and still has enough punch to make it interesting.

Jul 7, 2008 From a bottle that I was told was about 1 year old: While the nose was nice enough and on the fresh side in the mouth it came off as dried out. Overall, it was nice enough but even guessing at how it would have been fresh, I’ve had plenty of better ones.

Jul 2, 2008 an IPA with a soft spirit thin and understand. It does smell nice but all the hops are in the back end. Matlt is to much for the light hops.

Jul 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 15, 2008Pretty mediocre.. Amber with a white head. The grassy hoped nose is the high point. Easy to drink IPA, not too hopy or bitter..

Jun 23, 2008 Pour is an orange with a large foamy white head. Aroma is very much pine hops with a nice earthyness. Flavor is a nice subtle caramel malt with a nice sized helping of citrus hops. A pretty fine IPA to have around the house.

Jun 23, 2008 On cask at the Ginger Man. Pours an amber/orange with a slight head. Aroma is predominantly citrus and grapefruit with some slight piney hops. Flavor is dominated by grapefruit, other citrus hops, and wheat. Nice bitter hops finish. Fairly mellow due to the large citrus presence. Deliciously citrusy and more citrusy than any other IPA I’ve had to date. No carbonation, which made the mouthfeel a little odd, but it was very good. Worth it to seek out, at least on cask.
