Sep 6, 2008 Really good solid IPA. Solid, sweet body. Hop profile is great, easy to drink, but good and bitter without being overpowering. Resinous, grapefruit. Easy to drink and enjoy, one of the top IPAs in my book.

Sep 6, 2008 Pours orange with thick white head. Aroma of floral hops. Taste of citrus and piney hops. Good hop bite. Would be a good session beer.

does not count  Sep 5, 2008 12oz bottle from Buehlers market.
Pours hazy orange color.
Aroma is of a nice fruity hoppy nature. Citrus grapefruit notes right off the bat.
Taste is absolutely wonderful bordering on amazing. In my humble opinion this is the quintessential american IPA. It’s not overly sweet by any means. The hop flavor is very fruity in the best possible way. The body is perfect as it is not too thin. I couldn’t think of any way to make this better. I’m hoping they will consider an imperial someday.

Sep 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours light amber with a small white head. Aroma is strong grapefruit hops with a slight sweet caramel scent. Flavor is grapefruit and floral hops mainly, again with hints of sweet caramel. Flavor could stand to be a little stronger. A pretty good IPA.
