afireinside96 (817), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 17, 2008 Bottle shared by The Captain. Thanks Mark. Pours amber-orange with a creamy white head. Smells of citrus and pine. Sweet earthy pine flavor with a bit of citrus. Nice but a tad too sweet for an IPA. mcc5468 (102), USA Jun 13, 2008 Aroma is slight citrus. Hoppy dryness in the taste but the taste does not equal the feel. Flavor is good. A decent IPA. Haslinger (640), Syracuse, New York, USA Jun 12, 2008 Bottle from the Party Pack. I like this one the best. I thought it was a very good IPA tasty but I thought the hops were a bit weak. Would buy again biggmike (480), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA Jun 9, 2008 Poured a nice reddish/golden color with generous white head. Aroma is citrusy piney and floral. Flavor is pretty much the same. Hops dominate but this is not the bitterest of IPA’s. I could have used more hops, but it was a well-balanced and pleasing representation of the style. Nice beer. craftbeerdesign (731), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Jun 7, 2008 sample on 6/5/08, rating from notes. pours a deep golden with white head. brilliant hop character and aroma. Garrett Oliver can really brew... especially in the English style. the citrus hops take control for the most part... a solid clean IPA. kieleszd (83), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Jun 6, 2008 Great hop character followed by citrus. Evenly balanced, alcohol is disguised. Overall on the light side for an IPA it complemented an order of nan and Bhun very effectively. Geuzelambix (110), København, Denmark Jun 3, 2008 Nice summery beer with an acidic feeling and clear bitterness. I didn’t serve it justice by drinking it out of the bottle, but it was nevertheless a pleasure - a tad oily in the afterpalate. Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Jun 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber body with off white head. Aroma is hoppy; pine, citrus, green earthy. Flavor is that very hoppy, dunno the ibus on this but its got a big bitter finish. Decent.
