I’m really getting sick of seeing these psychedelic labels (New Holland, Magic Hat, now Boulder, etc.). Oh well. The beer pours orange-copper. Good citric hops in the aroma, along with some spicy ones that recall classic English IPAs. Actually, it more readily recalls Smuttynose’s IPA. Very well balanced. The hops don’t leave a lingering bitterness, but seem full in the flavor. Points off for a touch of astringency.

Nov 28, 2008 the term ’floral’ sometimes gets thrown around on any beer that smells of hops. but as far as im concerned, there is a specific hop aroma character that defines that adjective -- and this is it! huge lacing as well. this has the real kind of freshness that you see in two hearted and real world class IPAs, i think this is actually underrated.

Oct 28, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear yellow with a one finger off white head. Aroma of malt and some resin. Flavor was very malty, with a faint bitter finish. Overall, this was a decent beer, but the flavor doesn’t stack up to other ipas.
