Jan 30, 2009 Pours a clear golden-orange color with a head greater than one inch which is very frothy and white. Aroma is very strong of bitter Columbus hops and very light notes of citrus but barely detectable. The beer has a very smooth flavor containing a great citrus and grass hops flavor which meshes well with the light sweet malty flavor. The beer leaves an awesome lacing on the glass and has great carbonation which really brings the aroma to the nose. After the flavor has been lingering in your mouth after a sip, it starts to taste a bit salty. Overall a fantastic IPA for the price and a very well balanced beer.

Jan 29, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy orange witha 1 finger creamy eggshell head that has good retention. Aroma is caramel and toasty malts, floral hops and citrus hops that smell alot like a freshly peeled mandarin orange. Flavor is toffee, then caramel and toast Saltine cracker comes in soon after with a little straw note and big citrus hops, some of the orange notes come through but much less pronounced than the aroma. Finish is grainy and citrusy, fairly bitter but it seems lower than 69 IBU. Palate is medium to thin and creamy, feels heavier than it really is, not bad but I like a little more bite.

Jan 25, 2009 Updated: Feb 19, 2009Appearance: Clear; good retention on an off-white frothy head; good color--golden reddish orange
Aroma: subtle malt in the background via white bread, slightly cookie-ish quality; hops are represented in a very floral, perfume, herb quality; possibly some light, white fruit providing a supporting role; however, also does have an apple cider-like quality which loses it points
Flavor: Pretty good balance; the malt definitely makes its presence known; less fault on the tongue compared to on the nose; basically a sound IPA flavor but nothing spectacular; second tasting brings too much apple cider
Palate: Probably the best part of the beer; perfect IPA texture; smooth and suave with nothing to astringent

Jan 24, 2009 Growler filled at Bellport Beer and Cold Soda. Pours a slightly hazed golden orange with a thin-moderate linen white head that fades to a film at mid-glass which lingers to the end, leaving very nice lace all the way to the bottom of the glass. Pleasant aroma of grapefruit and pine. I was very happy that the flavor is actually fruitier and more flavorful than the aroma suggests with lots of grapefruit. The malt base is sufficient to support the hops. Bitter at the finish but not excessive and again, is more about the grapefruit fruit flavor. I’m glad I have a full growler, I’ll be enjoying this one throughout the day!
