Very nice aroma, but the flavor disappoints. Very piney, rather flat, one-dimensional hop flavor. Pass.

Pours out a light brown color with a thick white head. Smell is hoppy, grassy, and grapefruits. Taste is dry, very dry, after drinking, its gone. Its interesting, but I am glad I got a 6 to send out so others can try it. Not really something I will revisit.

Clear copper color with a medium head. Not an incredible ammount of hop in the aroma, but it is easily detectable. Flavor is bitter with a nice mouthfeel and enuff maltiness to balance things out. Nothing overwhelming about this beer but a good beer for sittin on the porch watching the sun go down.

Light gold/copper color with medium sized white head. Aroma is full of citrusy, resiny hops, probably cascasde. Flavor has malt notes, fairly present hops, with a dry finish and a stiff but not overwhelming bitterness.

Every brewpub IPA i’ve had out here has a strange dryness to it. This is no exception, however the use of c-hops is a welcome addition here. Brillaint deep copper beer. Rocky lasting head. Nose is aromatic. Perfumey hops that get choked out by a milky, dry malt. Haystacks and hops...interesting combo. Flavors reflect this with a pronounced and very carbonated dryness. All in all this beer was decent but nothing to write home about.

Aroma of grapefruit & other citrus. Good hoppy flavors with a hint of spice and decent balance of malts. Finish is dry.

Citrusy hops is I all I smell. Cloudy orange with firm thumb thick head. Fore is a bit of biscuity malt then all bitter puckering hops. It’s really not overdone though and I imagine most hop heads would want more IBU’s. To me it’s solid, but lacks some of the body and floral and intense citrus notes of the IPA’s I do like. Still a solid beer.

UPDATED: OCT 30, 2005 The hops kick you in the face, and you feel it long afterward. Way too hoppy. Would be very refreshing otherwise, with citrus flavors and light, refreshing feel. If not for the kung-fu hops. Very pretty dark golden color though. I’m not much of an IPA guy, so if you consider yourself Mr. Hoppy Hoppenstein, you may get more out of this.

On tap at the brewery. This beer has a darker, more amber color than most IPAs. The aroma is strong of pine and citrus fruit. Taste is very hoppy and bitter with no other underlying flavors besides grapefruit. Eventhough I could taste the malt a bit, I thought this beer was way too hoppy. I expected some bitterness from this IPA, but the extreme bitterness and dryness was left in my mouth long after finishing the beer. There are much better IPAs out there.
