May 7, 2007 This is the IPA that turned me into a hophead. Probably not the best, but it will stand shoulder to shoulder with the best IPA’s around.
The all important crystal malt to hop flavor/IBU balance is right on. The hop selection never leaves a bad impression. I would add more hop aroma but aroma is so persihable that its probably not worth it.

Apr 29, 2008 12oz bottle. Golden straw colored blonde beer, with a rich foamy head. Heavy citrus aroma. Light and refreshing as an English IPA, but with the American signature Cascade hop profile. Creamy and sweet. A well done American IPA.

Mar 14, 2008 Bottle. Clear pale orange color with large fluffy off white head. Light peach citrus aroma. The flavor was the same with tea notes in the finish. Massive lacing. This was better then the ratings suggest.

Mar 27, 2008 You can find this beer anywhere which is nice that it’s actually a decent IPA. I picked up a six pack in my local Grocery Chain at 11PM. Normally a difficult time to find any decent beer. Huge head on this one ; almost made a mess. Nice citrus and flowery hop taste. Good clean finish. I agree that the ratings are misleading for this one. Worth the 7.99 for a sixer.

Sep 13, 2007 bottle - Pours copper with a two finger head and lots of floating yeast. The head lingers nad laces well. It has a fairly mild citrus hops aroma. Medium bodied and well balanced, it leaves a crisp, bitter finish that stays around a long time as is the nature of IPAs. I’m surprised at how low the ratings are here as I didn’t find it thin, rough, or bland. It’s not an outstanding IPA, but it’s a very good, solid beer and certainly has the hop profile of an IPA.
