Bottle. Fairly light golden orange pour with very minimal head. Nose was strongly reminiscent of Hopslam’s fruit aromas to me, albeit a watered down version of course. Grapefruit and mango but definite pine/resin, too. Oddly, I passed it to my wife for a sip and when she passed it back to me I got a floral explosion on the nose that I hadn’t detected before. Fruit almost disappears on the palate with the pine really dominating until the fruit reappears on the back of the palate/sides of the tongue at the end of each taste. Slight metallic/soapy edge there, as well, though, and a little watery. Nice and bitter if that’s your bag. I’d drink again but definitely reach for a Dogfish 60 or a Two Hearted first.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours a bright, but cloudy orange colour- head is fairly large- white and floral. Nice citrusy character, soft and piney but typicaly hopped. My only complaint about this brew is- there’s nothing exciting about it. Pretty standard for the most part. Nothing unique, lots of hops and fruit but basic overall.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark yellow color. Has a three finger white head. Smells very hoppy. Grains and citrus are noticable. Great IPA. Not as good as Titian IPA.

Aug 18, 2008 Brownish orange IPA, two finger off white head leaves tons of lacing and a hoppy aroma. Grainy, earthy hops and a clean lingering finish. Good but not mind blowing.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice clear light gold color with a little white head. Strong floral citrus aroma, with an intial hoppy flavor that ends slightly malty. Great IPA from just down the road :)

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle 2008. A marvelous IPA! Scent of strong floral tones and powerful hops. Looks dark orangey-yellow with little head. Tastes of hops, hops, hops, with a wonderful malty aftertaste. This is a great IPA, very complex with the hops and malt interacting wonderfully.
