Sampled on draft at Humperdinks in Arlington, Tx. Quite a pedestrian IPA. Could benefit from a more bitter flavor profile. The hops used in this ale are quite piney and herbal - not my favorite for the style, but flavor hops are certainly present for those wanting a hop fix. A decent beer.

Dec 13, 2008 From The Ram in Salem, Oregon. A growler fill. Pours a clear copper with a one finger off-white head. Good amount of lacing in the top half.
Aroma is floral hops.
Taste is citrus bitter hops with a decided grapefruit-orange flavor. The malts are decidedly in the background but sufficient for the style. Mouthfeel is good, fruity bitter finish. Drinkability is good but no abv to judge how many you could drink.

Oct 16, 2008 Red amber pour with off-white head. Roast and citrus on the nose. Flavor has a nice orange zest hit that is followed up by a hint of roasted malt. Medium body with some bite on the end.

Sep 22, 2008 It wasn’t a world beating IPA, but its better than 16% in my opinion.
It was among the best that Humperdinks had to offer.
I thought there was enough balance, but it was certainly hop-light for an IPA.

Aug 9, 2008 Tap at westminster brewpub. A nice red color with some decent aromas. A well balanced easy drinking IPA. Not bad, not great.
