Feb 14, 2009 Golden orange with non-lasting thick white top. Smells of lemon, honey, almonds, and grains. Tastes of maple, bread, and light citrus, mid-of-the-road bite to lasting honey conclusion, refreshing and smooth. Little on the safe side. "Aggressive-style" is more like a double IPA.

Feb 12, 2009 Pours an amberish gold with a thing white head and visibly sediment. Big hoppy aroma and bitter. Taste is hops up frunt, grapefruit. More bitter than sweet as an IPA goes. Very balanced and a tasty IPA.

Feb 12, 2009 On tap at Home Grown. Poured a light clear copper with a very minimal head that still left great lacing throughout. The aroma had a strong bitterness from the hops with floral over tones. Taste has a strong hop bitterness through to the finish. Along with citrus, bread and a slight malt sweetness to help balance things. Light bodied and smooth with gentle carbonation. A good hoppy IPA.

Feb 9, 2009 On tap at the Map Room in Chicago. Pours a beautiful deep orange with a creamy off-white head. Great lacing. Huge citrus and piney hops aroma with grapefruit, orange peel, pine resin. Taste is perfectly balanced and crisp with powerful grapefruit and floral hops being balanced by the malt where this beer is refreshing and clean rather than a bitterness overload. Sharp, citric finish. Awesome.

Feb 8, 2009 Pours a cloudy apple juice color with a copper hue. Has an off white, biege, head with lots of carbonation and yeast suspension. Lots of florals with some pine and grapefruit also has a hint of sweet malt smell.
An excellent oily flavor of pink grapefruit and pine hops with a medium bodied background of caramel malt. The palate is smooth throughout with a soft carbonation and a covered alcohol warming.
Been in my mix for a long time.

Feb 7, 2009 Dark orange color with a creamy off-white head. Nice hoppy aroma with a little grapefruit tartness. The taste was nothing unexpected, in fact, a little disappointing. Nice carbonation on the tongue. I’m a little let-down after noticing all the awards.
