Mar 1, 2009 Thin white head that left good lacing. Somewhat cloudy golden color. Strong piney aroma with hops and a sweet undertone. Piney, spicey, hop and citrus flavor with sweet honey flavors working their way through Smooth medium body with a biting bitter finish that stays. Very impressive just not my style.

Mar 1, 2009 2008 Bottle - Thanks motortoddhead! - Pours a thick orange with a lasting medium off white head...aroma is in your face fruit, sweet malt...flavour is a great balance of grapefruit, pine, caramel malt, a bit spicy...a terrific balance and is just delicious...this is perfect for spring or fall, before it gets too hot out or too cold...

Mar 1, 2009 This is just a wonderful drinking experience. Nice looking golden orange color. Aroma is not big and offers floral and citrus. Perfectly balanced with plenty of sweetness to even out the tart hops. Caramel, grass, floral, citrus flavors. So nice in the mouth, too. Well done Bells!

Mar 1, 2009 Pours out pale amber with thick creamy head. Smells of sweet pine. Taste is sweet and hoppy. Citrus notes and lots of bitter hops. Nice sweetness with a great bite. Tasty IPA.

Mar 1, 2009 12 oz bottle thanks to Acknud for just totally stoking me these on a return shipper. It’s got a funky pungent quality on the nose, almost hinting at the sulfer edge. If it were some other style I’d be worried. The lace just keeps replentishing itself. Hoppy, creamy, hints of sugar or grapefruit. Just lovely.

does not count  Feb 28, 2009 This is an absolute dream beer !! I wish we could get more IPA’s made like this. The aroma is a hop lover’s paradise with an amazing fruit bouquet shining through. The potency of this beer is well hidden behind all the hop goodness and citrus flavors. Not much head present in either draft or bottle I’ve noticed, but the flavor and smell take up this slack. Please put this on year round Larry !!

Feb 28, 2009 Bottle. Poured a pale honey color. Strong but not overpowering aroma of grapefruit. Big full flavor, definitely a DIPA but incredibly well-balanced and easy to drink. GREAT example of American hops. Medium bodied. With an ABV of 10%, the alcohol is barely noticeable. Possibly my new favorite IPA.

Feb 26, 2009 Light amber color, almost like honey.Not much head. Nose is sweet with a strong punch of piny citrus hops. Medium carbonation. rather thick on the palate. Great hop flavor, but a little too much sweetness from the added honey. The high alcohol contnet is noticable. A deliciously decadent beer.
