Mar 3, 2009 I’ve had this beer on tap and in a bottle, so I I’ve experienced it in more ways than one. It’s definitely one of my favorite beers! I love enjoying it when I’m either at a bar, my home, watching a game, or enjoying some fantastic hot wings. The bitterness of hops creates a light citrus flavor that I find myself keeping coming back to.

Feb 28, 2009 Bottle at Joshs. For an IPA what a really great head that holds and great lacing. Nice balance of fragrant and bitter hops. finishes well.

Feb 28, 2009 pours with a tremendous amount of lacing, and thick at that. the aromas are amazing with light peach, heavy orange/citrus, and copious amounts of alpha and beta hoppage. the taste is intense - hops through the wazoo, piney, citrus-filled, and delightful orange peel. it’s soft on the palate, but pleasantly bitter yest smooth. kick ass - thanks mike!

Feb 27, 2009 Pours a light bronze color with a minimal off white head. Great hoppy aroma, pine and lemon, with some caramel sweetness. Wonderful, clean balanced flavor, big on the pine/resiny hops, but well balanced by the sweet malts. Medium/full body with a nice stickiness on the tongue and lips. Although it is a pretty big beer at 7%, I could easily see myself enjoying a couple of these in one sitting.

Feb 27, 2009 Have enjoyed this fine IPA many times, and only now decided to rate. On tap as special pour of the day at John’s Buffet, Winfield, IL. Clear and a golden/amber was the color, with an average, off white head that lasted, and showed some good lacing. The aroma is mainly sweet orange and other citrus. A little resin made up a secondary note in the nose. These, and some nice, supportive malt made up the flavor. A strong, favorable and lingering hop bitterness was also very obvious.

Feb 25, 2009 Almost no aroma! Wow. Once you get into this beer with your mouth ... the hops finally make an appearance. very bitter in the taste, But, the beer finishes clean. Great combo. Just wish for more hop aroma!

Feb 24, 2009 This was my first big west coast hoppy beer that I loved. Flowery hoppy aroma with a lemon tinge. Nice hazy golden amber. Classic hoppy bitter beer but not the whole package. Something in the aftertaste that does not draw me in. Good but not great.

Feb 23, 2009 Aroma clean lemony flowers, great body for s great IPA, medium head, pine throaty after taste... Great beer, refreshing given the amount of volume and weight on the middle tongue.
