Aug 13, 2009 Pours a dark orange with a large white head. The head laces down the glass. Looks as good as an IPA can. Aroma is very floral. Notes of orange, grapefruit, pine, resin, and icing sugar. Tastes very piney. Notes of citrus, caramel, tangerine, nice bitterness that lingers for a long time in between sips. Just a touch thin... but a great beer. Thanks for picking this one up for me savvy!

Aug 11, 2009 Bright orange color, hazy, nice head. Smells like citrus and hops. The taste is hardcore citrus with a nice bitterness. The mouthfeel is nice. This is a pleasure to drink and the price is fair at $10 per sixer or $4.50 for a bomber. This is a fantastic IPA as far as my palate is concerned.

does not count  Aug 11, 2009 Slightly bitter IPA. Quite good for somebody who is typically not an IPA fan.

Aug 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours out a slightly cloudy light copper color with a big fluffy slightly off white head. Aroma is mainly citrus hops, some grain and other light fruity notes. Taste is balanced, maybe a little too balanced for my liking, citrus hops, grainy malts, some sweet fruit notes and a lingering dry finish. I’m not sure if its the hop variety used or what it is, but I’ve had this a few times now, and don’t get me wrong its a good IPA, but I didn’t flip over it certainly not 3 beers below Furious on the "IPA Hierarchy".

Aug 7, 2009 Hazy orange-amber, very minor white head. Nose is somewhat weak, caramel and grain with light tea, pineapple, and orange. Flavor stronger, some pine and caramel in addition to lots of grainy biscuit and sweet fruit. Alcohol comes heavy with warmth. Slightly salty, moderate body with moderate carbonation. Overall, pretty moderate.

Aug 6, 2009 It’s a beautiful thing to behold in the class, amber/orange, perfect clarity, thinnish off-white head. If the head was thicker and more persistent, it would get a perfect 5 for appearance. Pungent columbus hops are the first thing to hit the nose, followed by barley-sugar malt. The flavour follows this, with a candied orange taste - almost like Cointreau. The finish is a perfect balance between the sweet malt and the bitter hops, but I get the feeling there’s little in the way of bittering hops here - tastes like all the hop flavour comes from late hop additions. Tasty, but just slightly off the mind blowing experience I was expecting.

Aug 4, 2009 Bottle: pint glass: Damn good IPA... pours a dark honey/ amber leaving a very thin ring of off white head. The nose is obviously hoppy yet noticeable sweet fruits are available. The taste is even more complex: bitter hops, a spicy quality, the ABV is noticeable but not overpowering, some minor wheat notes... I had some tiny floaties. Very well balanced.

Aug 2, 2009 Nice hop aroma. Hoppy without overdoing it. Nice malt backbone to balance things out.
