Feb 19, 2009 Not bad, but unremarkable. By no means a bad IPA, but not better than Samuel Smith’s by a long shot. Certainly not worth the $10 I paid for it. I wouldn’t discourage anyone from getting it, but don’t expect a religious experience or anything.

Feb 16, 2009 Dark copper red in color with a large, cream colored head. Aroma is of strong hops and grass. Taste is hoppy and citrusy with a "mouth-full -of-grass" sort of flavor.

Feb 15, 2009 bottle: pours a good clean amber colour with a huge white pithy head. arima is a good clean hop aroma with plenty of citrus and awesome malt, slight floral and hint of honey. flavour is well balanced with plenty of malt then a smooth hop flavour and just a touchof bitterness. just fantastic balalnce.

Feb 15, 2009 750ml bottle corked and caged courtesy of theisti. Pours a nice looking light amber orange with a thick lively head that leaves behind a great lacing. Nose is well balanced with grapefruit, apricot, and resiny pine hops. Taste is just as balanced with just the right amount of malt coming trough, for me. This is a wonderful IPA; thanks for sending this my way Tim!

Feb 15, 2009 Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange color with a off white head. Smelles of citrus and caramel. Tastes similar but with some pine notes.

Feb 14, 2009 Quite a hopped-up brew. Aroma is mainly citrus and apricots. Flavor is solid citrus with some notes of pine. Caramel malt provides some underlying balance, although for an IPA this is pretty hopped. Bitterness is moderate in the finish. The dry-hopping really brings out the hop character. Mouthfeel is a bit over carbonated for an IPA, but overall a great beer.

Feb 11, 2009 750 mL bottle poured into shaker- poured slightly turbid copper orange color, thick and hearty tan head formed, bubbled away slowly, and laced very nicely along the sides of the glass. Aroma of pine, malt, and a note of peaches. Hits the mouth with a low-medium body, malt is present but wish it was just a touch more powerful, some light bitterness in the middle, finish is solid- a little dry, but it closes nicely. The label and brew reminds me of Bluegrass Homewrecker Double IPA that I had last summer. Ahh, those were the days...
