I typically don’t enjoy IPA’s, however, this flavor was not a bitter as most IPA’s. It smells and looks good. Not as strong as I’d expect, but a good smell. The flavor was delicious, however, it clearly is not the flavor of an IPA. I really don’t enjoy how it stays on my tounge, it feels coated with bitterness. I was impressed with this beer from the standpoint that it tastes, smells, and looks good. However, it is not quite correct for an IPA. Also, it doesn’t sit on my palate well. Overall, a very good beginner’s IPA.

Jul 11, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. I think this was being served from the beer engine. Pour was dark amber with a good off white head. The aroma and flavor are both very strong with citrus hops. The flavor was even kind of gooey. Medium body with an appropriate amount of carbonation. Dry finish. Really a nice beer.

Jul 6, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy dark amber color with a dense beige head. The aroma is orange citrus, moderately sweet caramel malt, and a touch of pineapple. The flavor has a good bit of caramel malt to balance the citrusy hop bitterness. This one shows good balance and judging by the scores is a little underappreciated IMHO. Smooth and easy to drink with a medium/full body. A very solid IPA.

Jun 29, 2008 12oz bottle. Lots of malt, quite possibly lots of caramel malts because it comes off as overly sweet even with the large amount of resiny hops. The hop bitterness is there, but the flavor and aroma contribution seems minimal. Big mouthfeel, lots of carbonation. Not the way I like my IPA’s.

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.
