Jul 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a medium to pale amber, with a thick, frothy, marshmallowy white head, suggestions of green, phenomenal lacing, perhaps one of the most gorgeous beers I’ve sen so far. Nose is pine and citrus, grapefruit and orange rind, pretty, mildly floral, lovely. Palate is more of the same, al of the pine/spruce shades, as well as every description of citrus, and the flowers translate over as well. Could be ever so slightly maltier, but his is really my only complaint. Gorgeous, wondrous nectar.

Jul 27, 2009 Tap: Pours orange color with what was probably a nice head, but my beer failed to retain by the time I returned from the bathroom. Citrus and hops are all over the aroma. Rather strong hopping, but not way over the top. Well-balanced overall. Don’t know if this is one of the best IPAs ever, but it certainly did not disappoint me, as this brewery has never done.

Jul 27, 2009 Aroma is full of piney hops, with oily nail polish-like alcohol aroma, and some strong citrus. The beer is a medium, mostly clean medium golden color, with a thin collared ring head, which is whited in color. The beer leaves a nice bit of lacing. The flavor contains nicely balanced strong hops and malt bodies, some alcohol, and a little strong citrus, likely grapefruit. The beer also has a decent amount of oilyness as well. Racer also has a nice fullmouth feel with initial sting of hops effervescencen, middle body feel is the malts, and finishing with a hoppy lingering ending.

Jul 26, 2009 Bottle from Jessup plaza. Poured a nice orangeish color with a nice white head. Aroma is tons of grapefruit hops and some mild sweetness. Taste is sweet up front but then dominated by hops through out the rest of the drink. This one is nice.

Jul 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear orange with thin white head, heavy lace left behind. Pine, flowers, and hops in the nose, very mellow and balanced. Seems to go from sweet, to bitter, back to sweet flavor. Caramel, hops, sweet malt, a touch of candy sugar taste. Very crisp and dry, well balanced and smoother than I would expect an IPA of the abv. Solid.

Jul 21, 2009 Bouteille 660 ml, acheté le 9 juillet 2009 au Charles Street Liquors (Boston). Ambrée cuivrée, petit collet avec un peu de dentelle. Arome d’houblon tangearine, bien amère. Goût d’agrume légé, houblon bien amère avec une touche d’orange, bonne finission amère plaissant. Une sorte d’IPA que j’aime!

Jul 21, 2009 Pours copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is somewhat sweet and fruity, with just a hint of piny hops. Flavor follows the aroma well, though somewhat floral, but just a bit watery. Palate is medium and fruity/bitter-sweet.
