Mar 10, 2009 Poured from 12oz bottle into pint glass:
Aroma - Grassy, lemon, and golden malt
Appearance - Golden amber in color. 2 finger white head that dissipated more quickly than expected. Spotty lacing on glass.
Flavor - Nice malty taste at first, quickly followed by subtle lemon and orange citrus, a bit of grapefruit.
Palate - Light to medium mouthfeel. Just the right amount of natural carbonation. Slight hop bite on the finish.
Overall - I’m kind of new to this style. Most are too hoppy for my current taste. However, I find this very palateable would make a good session brew as well as an introduction to IPA for other newbies like me.

Feb 28, 2009 Poured kind of a hazy golden color. With a White 3 finger head.
Smell clean hops, maybe even a little bit of biscut also. Taste is mildly sweet up front, then finished a bit bitter in the end. Wonderful all around though, has a real nice bitterness to it, but it doesnt linger around the whole time which is nice. Also picking up some kind of spices in there too, not sure what it might be though. I think its just as hoppy as most IPAs that I have had, but the bitterness doesnt linger as long. Really great meshing of flavors in this one! will definatly be picking this one up again. This is something I could drink all day and not get tired of.

Feb 22, 2009 On draft from shaker glass. Medium off-white head with good lacing through the finish. Deep golden color. Nice hoppy aroma. Actually better aroma than the Stone IPA I had earlier from a 22 oz. bottle into tulip. Dry, bitter, flavorful to the finish. I would definitely have again if given the opportunity. Above average IPA IMO - Cheers!

Feb 18, 2009 (35.5cl bottle) Cloudy, bright orange colour with a blond, mid-sized foamy head. Light to moderately sweet aroma with an aromatic and fruit-accented dash of hops with notes of lime, oranges and piney spice. Very bitter flavour, well-blended with citrus-fruity hoppy notes and a subtle pale malty sweetness. Dry and bitter finish with a lasting fruity aftertaste. Not overly complex but a very aromatic and refreshing IPA (18.II.09).

Jan 27, 2009 Solid IPA but nothing special. Smells hoppy, tastes hoppy, Cascade mostly. Appearance and mouthfeel are very standard. Good to satisfy a hop craving if anything.

Jan 24, 2009 Very drinkable IPA. Golden pour with caramel aroma. Solid malt and fruit backbone with a nice hop finish--not as strong in hop profile as many IPA’s but a Good beer.

Jan 23, 2009 A beautiful amber color flows from the bottle with a tight white head. A hoppy, fruity aroma greets the nose, and a tart crisp, fruit is quickly overcome by an astringent hop presence on the palate. The hop bitterness does not dominate, but rather complements the malt and fruit taste of the brew. This ale is crisp and satisfying.
