DeadGuyFrank (316), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA Feb 17, 2008 Delicious, tasty, kick in the butt Columbus and Cascade infused IPA!! Nice cabonation, good fluffly white head, nice off amber misty golden in a pint glass. One of the fine IPA available, highly recommended.
17thfloor (561), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 5, 2008 Pours a clear orange with few bubbles and a small bubbly off-white froth. Big piney, grapefruit and rich caramel malty aroma. Big grapefruit flavor, sweet rich malt that overwhelms the initial salty piney hop flavor. These California IPA’s are all starting to taste the same to me... but this one has some nice balance to it and depth. A little touch of honey and some melon juiciness come out later.
Great palate, medium glassy body, slight stickiness and unobtrusive gentle carbonation, the fresh hops sting the mouth a tad a la dreadnaught . robforbes (587), Bremerton, Washington, USA Jul 3, 2008 purchased at wine a little in port orchard, washington.
pours a somewhat hazy orange-yellow with a large white bubbley head, good lacing.
smell of hops, caramel, citrus, pine.
taste is grapefruit, touch of caramel, some pine, citrus, very bitter, sweet malt. CelticBrew (417), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Jul 2, 2008 22 oz bomber- Poured medium, hazy gold. Formed nice size foamy head, aroma of piney hops, sweet malts, citrus flowers. Flavour is of a clean tasting IPA, slight grapefruit hints, hops, and malted goodness. Extremely quaffable, would love to try on tap. darn1207 (171), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jul 1, 2008 12oz bottle from marino’s, toledo - thanks to K’s mom. cloudy gold pour with a medium bright white fluffy head. strong lacing. the aroma is fantastic - flowers, perfume, citrus hops. taste is sweet citrus malt balanced perfectly with tons of hops. smooth bitter finish and smooth palate. very very drinkable. top notch brew.
