Bottle courtesy of emacgee. Thanks man!
Pours a dark hazy amber with a light offwhite head. Smell is fresh, bright malt, and citrusy, fruity hops. Taste is really nice and fruity with citrusy sweet hops. Very drinkable and a good semi-rich body with nice refreshing carbonation. Nice crisp bitterness. This is a very underrated IPA, I think, and a classic example of what I want in the style. Thanks again for this one!

Copper pour with airy white head. Grapefruit and citrus on the nose. Similar flavor profile, just a little to thin.

swoopjones (3258) - Buffalo, New York, USA - APR 13, 2008
Bottle. Average IPA. Copper amber colored with aroma of citrusy grapefruit hops & caramel malt. Decent bitterness but a little light IMO. Not bad but theres way better out there

polomagnifico (845) - Saginaw, Michigan, USA - FEB 12, 2008
12oz bottle. Aroma is citrus and fruity hops. Clear medium amber body with an average sized off-white head that lasted and left good lace. Flavor is classic IPA but kind of weak. Palate is smooth and watery. A good refreshing IPA.

CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - JAN 11, 2008
Pours a transparent copper amber with a nicely-lacing wispy white head. Aroma of sweet caramel and lightly toasted malt with a decent amount of grapefruity hops. Starts with nice sweetness and an earthy grapefruity hop balance toward a slightly grainy finish. A pretty good and balanced IPA.

Red amber with thin creamy head and nice lacing skim. Nice citrus, pine, grapefruit aroma and flavor. Not bad at all.

aubreya (676) - Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA - NOV 23, 2007
The color was a medium orange. The head was creamy, fizzy, and off-white. The aroma was light hops and citris. The flavor was hoppy and a little bitter in the back of the throat. The aroma and flavor were both lacking some. The palate was average and the finish, clean.

My daily IPA. Smooth, moderate level of hops for an IPA. Not too sweet and not too bitter. Slightly citrusy, very refreshing.
