Zinister (892), Houston, Texas, USA Jun 14, 2008 Pretty orange amber pour with a frothy one finger head. Grapefruit and melon nose with soft hop aroams. Creamy mouthfeel with citrus hops up front. The middle of this beer has an odd flavor that I just can’t pick out. It’s sort of like it’s old hops...but not really. Finish is pithy bitterness. This isn’t a bad beer by any mean...but there are better IPAs out there. Not sure if there are better organic IPAs...
unclemattie (1662), Georgia, USA Oct 1, 2008 12oz bottle, 7.1% ABV. Orange color. Aroma of citrus hops on top of cotton candy sweetness. Flavor has a sharp lingering bitterness. Some sweet malt deep in the character of the beer. Mostly citrusy hop flavors. Higher ABV adds to the drier finish. A good recommendation for a Newbie. grimreeser (739), Minnesota, USA Sep 29, 2008 ABR 2008. Aroma is earthy and citrus hops. Flavor starts sweet and finishes with a lingering bitterness. topherh (278), Kearney, Missouri, USA Sep 23, 2008 Pours a copper color with an aroma of citrus hops and wet grain. Flavor is herbal and citrusy hops with a dry finish. Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Sep 23, 2008 Sedimented, though see-through orange ale covered by a healthy 1cm foam that mostly lingers. Needles and leaves take up most room in the aroma which lacks a bit of explosiveness, mostly staying away from fruitiness or flowery prowesses. Nonetheless has a pleasant earthy tang, though it approaches pencil shavings in the finish, producing a slice of astringency that pertubes the dryness. Fair medium body displays very active carbonation which remains refreshing thanks to the small size of the bubbles. Timid biscuity malts. It’s a far cry from their brilliant pilsner to my tastebuds, but it’s not a pint I would refuse. nearbeer (1334), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Sep 17, 2008 12 oz. Clear copper with a creamy head of a quarter inch that leaves frosty lace behind. Earthy vegetable, grain, citrus, molasses and oak aromas. Flavors are similar with some light citrus and resin. Medium body is smooth and dry. A bit underrated because it’s not your typical West Coast citrus-hop flavored bomb; more an earthy British-style IPA.
