does not count  Jan 20, 2008 IPA is always my beer of choice. Barely Island Barfly has the best aroma and flavor of all that I have sampled.

Feb 24, 2008 Nice strong hoppy flavor. Pours a nice dark citrus colour, along with a good fresh aroma. Not too much bad to say with particular type, go out and buy one you hop-heads!

Jun 15, 2008 12 oz bottle into shaker. The aroma is dominated by floral and citrus hops while the flavor is mostly dominated by grapefruit hops. It is smooth and sweet with just the right bite. Medium bodied on the palate. Overall: Not much to say here except that this beer is underrated and delicious IMO.

Aug 24, 2007 Poured from a 12oz bottle into a shaker. This beer poured a dark brownish copper color with a foamy beige head that slowly faded. Some uneven, sticky lace was left around the glass. The aroma consisted of a big citrus/grapefruit presence followed up by a nice caramel malt backbone. The flavor was super hoppy, with sweet grapefruit flavors giving way to the roasted caramel, and finishing just slightly bitter. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with minimal carbonation. This is an excellent brew, done in the same vein as Alpha King. Very tasty, and vastly underappreciated.

Mar 6, 2007 Thanks to Hopdog for this one as part of Mystery Swap #2. Pours hazy medium copper with luscious 2-finger off-white head. Aroma of wet hops, tropical fruit (tangerine, grapefruit, honeydew, even cherry and berry notes), heavy black pepper. Tastes hoppy, with a firm caramel malt base, plus some fruity notes. It stays a bit sticky and on the sweet side, with more citrus as it warms. This one is very good. A tad more complexity and balance would have catapulted this one into the low to mid 4.0 pantheon.
