This brew is courtesy of my bro,FootBalm.What better way to end such a nice warm day then to do a short IPA marathon.Nice aroma of grapefruit and pine.The flavor comes off real well as grapefruit and hops,a slight buttery thing going on there but mostly in how it coats the pallate.Very nice brew and well worth trying a few more some time.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Goldtwins. Medium copperish amber in color. Nice white head fades to a film and leaves nice lacing. Floral and citric hop aromas. Body is light, decent carbonation. Slight hints of sweet caramel, big hop flavors and bitterness. Decent IPA, needs a bit more malt and body.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured a clear gold with a thin white head. Big aroma off citrus and pine with sweet malt underneath. Malty sweet moving to a piney hop flavor and a bitter but sweet finish. Light to medium body and silky. Good balance. I would love to have this as a session beer.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear bright golden with a thin, lightly lacing white head. Aroma has a nice piney hoppy presence and subtle pale maltiness. Starts smei-sweet, turning more bitter toward a thin, but hoppy finish. Nicely balanced, crisp and enjoyable, a good IPA. Thanks goldtwins!
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
No coments on the appearance as I swilled straight from the bottle. The floral aroma came thru nicely. Malt wise, there seemed to be some toffee, to go with the taste of pineapple and honeydew - interesting combination. Long, adictive leafy bitter finish.

I had never even heard of this brewery until I saw this beer. It poured a light amberish gold with a thick white head. Hoppy aroma with light citrus fruits. Medium bodied mouthfeel. Lots of orange, lemon, and pine on the tongue. Nice dry bitter finish. A good IPA. My first in a while.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: OCT 27, 2005 tap 3/8/05. On tap on the Waterfront Bar in NYC. Poured a medium white head with busting aromas of fruits with a slight grass hint. Off-reddish amber color. Seemed to be full bodied but finished thin and clean. Although its an IPA the hops are very mild but their presence its what makes this beer so good. A dry finish and very good balance of hops and flavor.
