Jun 12, 2008 Yum! This single hop series beer makes wonderful use of a wonderful hop! Fruity nutty and floral as sin. Lots of sweet and malty character, too. Perhaps a little sugary in the finish, but overall, a really nice beer.

May 4, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear body with just a slight orange tint to it. Tiny ring of white bubbles on top.
Smell: Handful of tropical fruits, grapefruit and papaya, served up in a light caramel sauce.
Taste: Caramel malts with just a hint of toast. More of the tropical fruits from the aroma displaying a nice juiciness. Fairly restrained medium bitterness. A touch citric on the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Not so enjoyable as an IPA, but it is pretty fun in terms of learning your hops and their various attributes and characteristics.

May 3, 2008 Pours a transparent deep golden bronze with a wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of grassy piny hops with a touch of lightly sweet pale malt. Body starts with a mild caramel malty sweetness and a decent mild hoppy character, but not that assertive in flavor. An ok IPA that might be better with a fresh hop profile.
