Surprised to find this at a small, local strip mall liquor store. One six pack all alone among the mass. The aroma of hops and citrus leapt to my nose as watched the enticing light amber colored brew fill a large bowl wine glass. All thought of patience fled as I took a quick sip. I was amazed when the flavor perfectly matched the anticipation. I suppose this means it was well balanced. Great hop and fruit flavor without the higher level alcohol taste I had prepared to taste.

Jul 18, 2008 Smells strongly of sour grapefruit hops with musty alcohol notes. Taste is strong sour citrus hops with slight alcohol bite. Hides the alcohol well. Very tasty IIPA

Jul 17, 2008 I have recently been turned on to IPA beers and have enjoyed some. This beer did not blow me away but I did enjoy it.

Jul 16, 2008 Pours a hazy orange ruby with a thin, soapy head. Odor of light fruits, prune, and some syrupy malts. Lots of bitter hops in the flavor, which I like. Not much of a malt taste to it, just bitter hops from the beginning to the aftertaste. Just what I want from my DIPAs.

Jul 11, 2008 (On tap at Flying Saucer in Austin on July 11, 2008 with Jen) Orange-amber color with steady carbonation and a frothy white head and awesome lacing. Aroma is sweet, floral, and spicy. Flavor bitter and yet sweet… I think Breckenridge was trying to make this an enjoyable drink for non-hop heads. Syrupy. It’s bitter, coats the tongue, but then... the sweetness subdues any painful aftertaste. Without the sweetness it would have been fine, in my opinion, but it would help with any hop aftershock and it does give this beer character. Delicious, really...

Jul 5, 2008 Big nose, lovely floral overtones, great bitternes, fine balance, great finish. The hopping was very well done.
