mephisto (1097), Taiwan May 12, 2008 light yellow with white head, the aroma is caramel and the flavor is slightly hoppy; it is a strange ipa if ipa at all.
kmeves (997), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA Aug 8, 2008 Pours a clear light amber with a small white head and some lacing. Aroma is lightly sweet malt with some grassy hops. Flavor is more hoppy with pine and citrus and a light malt backbone. Medium bodied, slick texture. Finishes surprisingly long and bitter. joshwilfong (509), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 29, 2008 golden with huge head. flavor low on the malt which makes it very unbalanced, not to mention the lack of quality hop bitterness or flavor. weak effort phishpond417 (1360), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jul 28, 2008 I agree this beer was anything but an IPA, more like a weak APA. pours a hazey cloudy orange colour. Head was nice sized, white and semi citrusy. but for the most part the flavor was weak on hops and fruit. Not a whole lot of floral character in this one. alexsdad06 (618), Ohio, USA Jul 28, 2008 Bottled. Pours slightly hazy golden color with a large off white head that goes forever. The aroma has a hint of spice and some citrus with pale malt. I generally like a bit more hops with my IPAs. The flavor is more grassy pale malt with light citrus and spice. Like others have said, this does not resemble an IPA as much as it does a pale. Not going to revisit this one. AllAboutStout (451), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Jul 27, 2008 Pours light gold in color with a huge, four inches of head that doesn’t seem to want to go anywhere. Smells like a light lager. No sign of hops anywhere. Maybe a Pale or a Helles, but in no way is this possibly a IPA. Taste is a bit skunky and highly carbonated. Don’t know what’s going on with this beer, but it is not good. Pretty big on the mouthfeel. That’s about the only positive thing I can say about this beer. Now I know.
