Pours a slightly cloudy orange-yellow with a large, foamy white head. Aroma is a mild mix of grainy malt and bright, citrus hops. Flavor follows suit, but the grainy malt is starting to fight for the front seat. A bit thin, and not especially flavorful. Still, pleasantly light bodied with a nice hoppy citrus flavor atop a basic pale malt foundation. Good.

Dark orange with a slight haze and a short top. Great lacing. Malt heavy earthen aoma. Light sweet, light bitter flavor. Near english style with the malt still dominating. Medium body, soft carbonation, oily texture, and a light bitter finish.

Draft - Hippy nose with some caramel. Clear gold with rich long lasting head. Creamy cask like mouth feel. Piny taste a little too bitter but nice malts that balance taste.

Very hoppy orange citrusy aroma. Pours orange with a fluffy head. Taste isnt super bitter and a bit sweet. Very enjoyable beer. Bit of a weird finish though

at the brewpub. light amber with modest white head. mild scent of pine, with caramel. thin tasting, with pine, lemon, oak. vague finish.

Caramel and toasted malts up front some oranges tangerines and leafy hops or veggies or both. Interesting. Pours golden amber w a thin head. Flavors of toasted malts caramel light oranges and vegetal leafy hops. Lingering leafy green taste. "Meh," (Jon, 2008).

At Silver Mountian brew fest. Nice yellow orange color. Big foamy head. Nose is light hops and grass. Very light on tongue, not a ton of hop kick but not that bad.

Bottle: Cloudy gold with a small white ring head. Citrusy aroma of light hops and flavors with perfume and lemon grass. Kind of a sweet aftertaste. I guess if you name your beer "Cyclops" and it has a gnarly dude on the front with one eye and two hook teeth coming out over his lips, it should probably kick your butt. This doesn’t do that, but it does go for the balanced flavor they were aiming for by using 5 hop varieties. It’s not bad, I just thought it was going to be way more "in your face."

Bottle, shared at RBAG Summer Session 2012. Hazy amber orange with a spare off-white head. No lace. Aroma is quite resinous, leaning toward harsh. Caramel malts sit behind slightly medicinal hops, with an astringently bitter finish. Just okay.

Solid, piney IPA with a nice malty middle. Slight breadiness mentioned by others doesn’t detract. It’s murky. I don’t care. Wow. People really hate the East Side, huh?
