Nov 22, 2009 On tap at The Brass Rail, served in a Samuel Adams Boston Lager glass. Clear gold with a large eggshell colored head. Most of the head lasted throughout the entire pint and left large sheets of lacing coating the entire glass. The smell was bright and fresh, bursting with notes of peach, pine, and grapefruit. Grapefruit and pine were present in the flavor along with a touch of biscuit and caramel. Not sticky at all, just crisp and dry throughout the entire glass. The finish isn’t super intense like some IPAs but lasts for quite some time. Easily one of the best IPAs that I have ever had and one that I will purchase every time I see it without hesitation.

Nov 19, 2009 Brewed in the USA !!! On tap at the Brass Rail. Pours straw in color with a super foamy white head that will dissipate in time. Aroma of hops, malts, citrus and fruits. The taste has fruit flavors like oranges, mango, grapefruit and peaches with some hops and citrus notes. The mouthfeel is thin to medium in body with a nice crisp dry hoppy bite at the finish. Wow, this IPA was really good stuff !!! I could drink this all night long. :)

Nov 19, 2009 From the brewery to my fridge in a few days courtesy of annapolisbeer. Dank/resinous, beautiful nose. Loads of citrus, and some papaya and strawberry – even a little Kiwi? I could smell this for a long time. Taste is upfront a lot woodier than expected –some resiny, piney hops, then the citrus returns with a really nice balancing sweetness, just enough malty character to add a touch of balance and an oily , really resinous and just slightly mouthcoating finish (yeah – the finish is pretty much weed in a glass). This is a world class IPA. Thanks a ton, Kevin. I may hit you up for more freshies of this one in the future.

Nov 17, 2009 Pale golden pour. The nose is very, very tropical and fruity. Loads of bright, citrusy hops with a lovely mango/pineapple character. Very, very hoppy with a bit of rich light tropical fruit. A bit of sweet pale malt, but this is all about the hops. Very fresh and tasty with loads of sweet hops. It’s not really all that bitter, but it is a delicious, juicy hop bomb.
