Draft sample at KBJ2010. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus and earthy hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft citrus. Medium to heavy bitter flavor with a medium to heavy bitter finish of moderate to long duration. My expectations where exceeded.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at the brewery, August 2006. Clear copper and amber colored body. Gum and sugar in the nose, very sweet smelling, with some artificial candy pineapple and mandarin orange notes. Crisp and syrupy all around, which is really nice. Drying into the finish. Flavors are not smack-you-in-the-face, but overall this IPA is still very tasty - good fruity notes with some cedar wood as well. Some weedy pecan and nutty cherry notes as the drink goes on. Good stuff.

Pours amber with a white head. Huge fragrant floral hop aroma. Flavor is extremely hoppy. Medium-bodied and quite dry palate.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask conditioned - Dark amber color. Large rocky off-white head. Mostly lasting and producing good lacing. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Heavy hop aroma of pine and grapefruit. Hints of light grain, pear, spice, and floral qualities. The heavy hop bitterness continues on towards the tastebuds. Little sweetness. Dry, moderate astringent, bitter finish. I've had hopper IPA's, but this one is weak either.

Orange creamy pour with off white head and lace. Apple like aroma with tones of citrus hops. Full malt, nice citrus/evergreen bitter. Full/medium bodied beer with just a tad aggressive carbonation. Very solid best beer I’ve ever had from here.

On tap at the brewpub. Solid clear amber orange with a light white head. Aroma of caramel, floral, pine hops. Taste is solid IPA, caramel base, lightly toasty, then lingering bitter floral and citrus hops.
