Milky apricot body with a creamy white head. Fresh grapefruit hop aroma. Flavor is also fresh and hoppy – citrus, fir tree. Slightly bitter finish.

Jan 5, 2008 Draft at the Alehouse. Pours very cloudy pale yellow/orange color with a bright white head. Looks like a wheat beer. The aroma on this is spectacular but a little subdued. It’s delicious but could use just a tad more strength. Citrusy hops, mostly of the peach variety shine through with a decent malt background. Taste is hoppy, significantly bitter, with a tingly mouthfeel. The citrus fruitiness makes its way to the taste as well. Nice and juicy. A fine IPA.

Dec 27, 2007 Appearance: Pours a hazy, pale orange body topped with a thin, white ring of bubbles.
Smell: Aromatic hop scent of citric-smelling citrus and pine needles.
Taste: Scant pale maltiness quickly turns to hops with flavors of grapefruit rinds and resinous pine along with a resounding bitterness. Dry finish with a long, lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A solid IPA with a sharp, snappy hop bitterness.

Dec 27, 2007 Hazy orange yellow color with a light head. The aroma is lovely. Lots of fruity hops (orange and tangerine are dominant with maybe a touch of grapefruit.) with a sweet undertone. The taste does not disappoint. Grapefruit hops with hints of orange. The malt backbone is not quite enough for me but it is there and does give you a nice pallet on which to play with the hops. Towards the finish you switch from fruit to a strong pine presence that lingers and really dries out your pallet. Full body with a nice dry finish. Very good, very hoppy!
