Sep 4, 2008 Pours a hazy gold. An offwhite head with decent lacing. Smells of hops and mild fruits. Had a very significant pine flavor which resulted in a not so unpleasant bitter after taste. Overall a well crafted beer.
SHANER4 (370), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
Sep 4, 2008 Poured a nice golden amber color with medium head. Aroma is very nice, fresh hops and citrus. Tasted pine, grapefruit and finished bitter. I think Bear Republic over did it with the hops and did not balance the beer with proper malt. Not a bad brew but too much pine taste.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle. Nice aroma with hints of straw, hay, and some grains. Head was a bit lacking but color was very nice for IPA. Nice flavor that has a wonderful bitter taste toward the end. Very nice beer and good balance.

Sep 3, 2008 (22 oz. bottle from Kappy’s) Lots of hops...Pours slightly cloudy goldish amber. Big puffy, lumpy, foamy off-white head. Aroma of big biting hops, pine and grapefruit and some sweat with some lighter caramel and vanilla underneath. Mouthfeel is nice and smooth, with a nice bit of heft, almost chewy for an IPA. Lots of foamy rings and patches of lacing. Flavor is heavy hops - heavy bitterness with lots grapefruit and pine. Quite biting. Pretty good malt presence as well, with some vanilla and more subtle caramel underneath. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Didn’t really get any fruity or flowery notes. Didn’t realize the ABV was so big in this - this really seems like a big IPA to me.
