hoooraybeer (47), Cranford, New Jersey, USA Apr 18, 2008 Pours with a thick creamy head. Aroma is not strong. There is very little floral tones in the aroma or flavor. Mouthfeel is very full and the lacing shows it. There is a hint of cinnamon with the grapefruit flavors. It is much the same as Smuttynose IPA with less floral, citrus and about the same mouthfeel, but it is clear without the floculation that Smutty has. It’s very drinkable - not too complex. I’d defintely do it again.
faroeviking (4589), Faroese Autonomous Beer Republic, Denmark Dec 3, 2008 Botella. Deep golden orange colour. Nice hoppy piney and fruity aroma. Good filling mouthfeel. The flavour has a good fruitiness with good bitter hops, pine and a good pleasant mild sweetness. Dry long lasting hoppy fruity finish. dchmela (833), Orlando, Florida, USA Dec 1, 2008 Pours a dark hazy gold with a thick rocky head. Big citrus pine and grassy aroma. Nice malty body balancing it all out, very nice chewy taste. Bitter citrus grassy pine flavor. Really big flavorful IPA with nice chewy Cascade and Simcoe style hops. Very good. haggis03a3 (108), Piedmont, California, USA Dec 1, 2008 On tap. Orange color with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor was dominated by hops from start to finish. Wonderful citrus and floral hops. Barley any malt came through; thus unbalanced. RIXbeer (102), USA Nov 28, 2008 Peach juice. Hazy thick orange with a thin white head. Fades into a thick ring along the edges. A very sharp grapefruit and citrus punch with a strong pininess. A very forceful and persistent hop flavor. Pretty spicy and has a strong punch of hops. A tiny bit watery in the end but it helps balance the hops. A very drinkable IPA and one that I really do appreciate for what it is. However the ABV will actually shock you. It creeps up on you. DSG (997), Yuvalim, Israel Nov 27, 2008 (10/13/08) Draught at Map Room in Chicago. Hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma of flowery hops and citrus. Bitter hoppy flavor with nice citric tones. Rounded-mouthfeel. Great and refreshing.
