Mar 3, 2009 Again I have to preempt by saying I am not a big IPA fan. This was ridiculously hoppy. Would recommend for the hop heads.

Mar 2, 2009 10oz Snifter via draft. Pours a deep brown with a very small ivory head. Nose is one of American hops. Flavor is initially bitter on the palate, but balanced by character malts. The finish is dry. This is an example that leaves the ready for another sip immediately after the swallow. Excellent.

Mar 2, 2009 Updated: Jun 5, 2009Bright clear bronze, very clear in fact, impressive in contrast with the bright sticky white head and heavy clingy lacing. Abundant dried pineapple aroma and a creamy biscuit base. That bready character comes out more in the sip but is dominated by the fruity juicy hops. More doughy biscuit in the finish.

Feb 28, 2009 Updated: Mar 1, 2009Very average all the way. Lite aroma of bread and yeast. Clear amber with a nice head. Flavor is oddly metallic. Not nearly hoppy enough for an IPA. Nothing special. By the looks of other reviews, I might have gotten a bad bottle. I’ll try to find another and rerate.

Feb 26, 2009 Pours a pale orange color with a substantial thick off-white head. Aroma is fruit juice and spice. Thick rich sweet malt and caramel taste along with grapefruit juice, hop resin and fresh bread dough. Very good; I thought this would be more hoppy, and I’m glad it’s not. Alcohol isn’t evident at all, not even some warmth after the swallow. Excellent effort.

Feb 22, 2009 Bottle. Thin-headed and orange, this beer’s aromas are like a fruit basket of citrusy hops. Pineapple and grapefruit are the main draws (maybe mango?), but I can pick out some sweet caramel like malt in the background. Hops are a punch to the face as soon as liquid hits lips... and they are sharper than in the nose. Grapefruit and pine come out strong at first, but then malt and sweeter fruits pick up the trail and manage to drive this home. Finish is kind of boozy with quite a bit of pineapple sweetness. This is pretty good, but it is very sweet...

does not count  Feb 21, 2009 Just released 12oz. bottle. Rich, some what sweet malty character. A bit sticky, with citrus, pine hop throgh the mid palate. Alcohol is well hidden.

Feb 20, 2009 Tasted from a super fresh bottle. Nice heavy, fruity herbal aroma. The flavor? This tastes just like pineapple soda! It’s uncanny. Hints of dried mango as well
