May 13, 2008 on tap at big rock, this ipa starts with a nice nose and generally pleasing run of the milll citrusy ipa character, takes a mildly bad turn with an unpleasant & unrefined hop finish... ok... but they have better beers on tap

Jun 8, 2005 Tap: dark golden/amber in color with decent head. Nice lacing. Nice citrus and floral hop aroma. Initial flavor is all sweet malt, turns to citrus hops and finishes with a big bitter hop bite. Takes a hit in appearance and plalate though.

May 8, 2005 Tap. Orange amber colored with a nice white head. Good lacing. Nice fresh hoppy aroma, very floral with some citrus. Nice malt balance. Initial sweetness with a fairly quick hop buildup. A very respectible IPA.

May 4, 2005 New recipe and new batch at 7.2%. Lightly hazed orange, thin creamy white head. Awesome fresh hop nose of white grapefruit, pineapple, and light earthy pine, with soft notes of sweet malt lying underneath the surface. Flavor was hoppy grapefruit bitterness right up front, slightly earthy, with only minor hints of the malt coming through. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry, bitter finish. Just a bit too one sided for my liking, but still a good hopheads delight....
