Bottle. Pours cloudy golden, with big white head with minimal retention. Aroma is sweet, honey with a bit of pepper, light yeast, definite alcohol. Moderately high carbonation. Flavor is complex: honey sweetness, big bready malt quality, balanced by a subtle dry hoppiness, with evident alcohol throughout. Finish is bready malt, yeasty, with a subtle hoppiness. Good beer, but could use a few months in the cellar.

Jul 18, 2008 wow. this is a beer that I could smell all day long and never even taste. purs a nice head, but qiockly dissipates. taste is slightly tart with orange and other light fruits. This is amazingly good. I think the bottle I have is about 6 mos old, not sure if that helped to mellow things out.

Jul 16, 2008 A Sim rate (tap at Heartland Brewery, Union Square): It’s that infectious kind of hops aroma that just jumps out at you! It’s fresh summer. It’s cut grass. Very nice head and lacing. It’s everything an IPA should be. Malty and so freshly hoppy. Delicate after an initial serious assault. Very impressed.

Jul 11, 2008 Very, very impressive beer. Pours a brilliant hazy gold, with a head that doesn’t last long at all. Lots of citrus on the nose. Taste is so smooth and drinkable and not very carbonated. Definite tastes of citrus, dominated by grapefruit, and other zests. perhaps a little bit of vanilla lingers in the after taste. Will buy again very soon!

Jul 10, 2008 I don’t know where to begin... Beautiful pour; hazy golden and perfect white creamy head. The carbonation lasts throughout the entire beer and is plentiful. I can’t seem to figure out the aroma but there is definitely alot going on. I’ll plaigarize the commericial description as the the beer has a "palate of unusual depth." It seems to last and last and last and...

Jul 9, 2008 Lightly hazy and straw colored with a small head. Mildly sweet aroma, floral with some marshmallow and a hint of spiciness, perhaps clove. Sweet and thick with flavors of orange, malt and black pepper. Noticeable hops. Lingering, flavorful finish.
