Tastes like a Stone IPA clone, not bad but I think I need to try it again....Lots of citrus hops.

Draft Pours a light orange with a huge head, though the girl who was serving had no clue how to pour a beer, so the head is probably overstated. Big citrusy wet-hop like aroma with some pine and resin notes. Taste is citrus and resin hops with an almost cheeselike character. Sticky and full bodied.

Bottle… First Annual Treasure Coast Beer Festival 2008… Hazy, light golden ale with a large, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Citrusy, peppery, perfumy hop aroma with a rumor of dry leather. Medium-bodied and caustic with modest carbonation. Mostly bitter, perfumy and fruity flavor. Crisp, dry finish.

Cask, BSF at the GBBF. Copper, fine white head. Salty, smokey seaweed aroma. Brisky salty bitterness, chewy hops, like chewing on the actual hop cones. Fairly dry hay finish. If you drank this with a cold and couldn’t really taste or smell, this would seem refreshing and the alcohol soft and well-hidden. But smelling and tasting...it’s a mess. I’m amazed a brewer this good makes something this dire and uninspired. Or maybe it just travels really poorly.

Slight cloudy, amber body with some patches on the surface. Very hoppy smell and taste with the richness of sappy mandarine oranges. Pine bitter ending. Full bodied. Tasty stuff (Third pint, gravicask at Bières Sans frontieres Bar at GBBF, 05.08.2008).

Good, full bodied beer. Nce thick palate. Full of citrus hops, wish it was a little sharper on my tounge, still extremely enjoyable.
