Dec 31, 2007 12oz. bottle. Pours a clear, dark amber color with a light, white head that dissipates quickly. Heavy aromas of hops, citrus fruit, and some hints of malt. Flavor is of bitter hops, caramel, and some citrus with a sour finish. Mouthfeel is light and smooth. Not bad, but nothing to yell about.

Dec 30, 2007 Bitter hops, but lacking ultimate bite. Kind of subdued. Malts here and there but nothing noticable. Adds a tender sweetness to it. Kind of softens it out though. If this brew was going to East India, it might barely make it on the ship ride over.

Dec 28, 2007 IPA poured from bottle was a light copper color with a white head. Aroma of citrus hops. Taste is very bitter and hoppy. Malt backing doesn’t quite stand up and makes for a lack of balance. The mouthfeel is also a little thin. Overall, a decent IPA, but not the greatest.

Dec 28, 2007 Pours copper with a good sized head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is mostly citrus hops and some malt sweetness. Mouth feel is medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation. Flavor is a good mix of sweet malt and bitter hops with a touch of alcohol. This went very well with BBQ brisket.

Dec 27, 2007 Draft. A pretty decent IPA and comparable to all the rest. Not too much bitterness.

Dec 23, 2007 Looks pretty nice with a copper body a thick white head. Powerful flowery hop aroma... pine is there most definitely. This is an easy to drink beer that has some bitterness, but not too much. Flowery hops are there right on the top. It is different from your standard IPA as many people have said, and in some ways I might prefer this more subdued style (i.e. not hopmurder).

Dec 21, 2007 Pours a golden brown with a half inch frothy head. Aromas of citrus and pine. Crisp, spicy, hop influenced flavor but the alcohol tends to linger. A little sweet and not overly bitter. A good brew, and if you like IPA’s you should def give it a go.

Dec 18, 2007 12 oz bottle, pours a clear dark brown color with copious head. Aroma is hoppy but perhaps the smell of alcohol was too overpowering. Taste, like the smell, was again very crisp and refreshing but tasted a little too much like rubbing alcohol. Palate was very agreeable for an IPA. I liked the regular lager better, but overall a good brew.
