Bottle thanks to 17th floor. Clear amber with creamy head. Aroma is fresh hop citrus, mild sweet malt, big fresh hop IPA. Sweet but well balanced hop presence, citrus, pine, and grapefruit hops that really dry out the beer, resiny. Medium body that has a little creaminess and light carbonation. Very nice and fresh, I can really dig on this.

Pours a copper color from the bottle with a white head. Much lighter than their pale ale, which suprised me. Features tons of bitter hops, grapefruit, and pine. Not very ambitious at all, but fairly balanced and drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 scooterbub (533) - Lander, Wyoming, USA - DEC 7, 2008
Bottle. Pours a nice, clear amber with a decent, frothy beige head that lasts. Has a very nice hop and pine taste that is not overwhelming. Aroma is the same, but is rather prevalent and quite enjoyable. Refreshing, easy to drink and leaves me wanting more after each sip. For the price, this is a nice brew that is worth purchasing again.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 fidelis83 (1262) - Clinton, Iowa, USA - NOV 19, 2008
Pours crisp copper with a 1 finger almond colored head, good retention, somwhat sparse lacing. Aroma is absolutely huge on pine hops, a little grapefruit, some grass, has a sort of generally sweet note without much malt character to the nose. Flavor is just as huge on pine, some bitter grapefruit, malts are slightly biscuity and straw. Body is a little warm and thin, fairly dry. A great IPA if you are a big fan of pine hops.

Medium copper to amber colored body with a rocky, light khaki colored head. The aroma has strong grapefruit and some pine. There is also a dry woody note along with some sweet hard candy. The taste has bitter bread crust and some grapefruit. There is also a little bi of almond character. Nicely done.
