CaptBier (239), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Jun 29, 2008 (12oz bottle) Hazy dark amber body with medium beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, caramel, some orange. Taste is moderately sweet, floral, some caramel, orange, light herbal, cherry. Light-medium body with light resin.
AllAboutStout (451), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Aug 16, 2008 Pours a light gold in color. Only a slight ring of head forms on the pour and is quickly gone. Smell is only slight floral hops. Taste is same as the smell. Slight hopping. Not a whole lot there. Your basic ale with just enough hops to notice. Very easy drinking, but not exciting. dchmela (686), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 16, 2008 Courtesy my buddy Steve. Pours a light copper with a thick white head. Big hop aroma, very earthy citrusy. Spicy bitter hop taste with a nice malt presence. Standard IPA, although I found it more west coast than British. DocLock (4083), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 22, 2008 Copper pour with off-white head. Nose is resiny hops, caramel malt, some fruit. Crisp flavor with hops balanced well by the malt. Not terribly complex or palate hefty, but fairly smooth. Suttree (2275), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jul 12, 2008 Called Bison Organic IPA (different beer?). Faintly cloudy orange, with a thin white head. Clean, soapy aroma. Clean, crisp stoney bitterness, some woodsy notes. Not a whole lot of malt character, not very complicated, but tasty. CelticBrew (450), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Jul 4, 2008 Pours medium/light copper from 12 oz bottle, formed little to no foamy head. Aroma of the usual, some hops, floral citrus and a bit of caramel. Flavour is of hoppy caramel burst of herbal delight. Pine resin sneaks through, Kinda got a topical fruit thing going too, ending a little dry. Overall decent IPA, but not what I would consider world class.
