Bottle. Orange/amber color, the hops are evident. It has just enough spice, and is a little sweet with a slight bitter aftertaste. It goes down easier than most IPAs. Very good.

Orange in color with a lacy sort of head. Nice hoppy smell with fruits and floral present. Weaker than I like in a IPA but very drinkable.

Another wondefully hoppy aroma from these guys with a slight bit of caramel it seems. Flavor has a strong hop character, a bitter finish with a little noticeable alcohl, but quite good all around.

Bottle, courtesy decaturstevo. Pours clear bright coppery amber with a thin, but surprisingly lacy white head. Lots of aroma as soon as I cracked this one: grapefruit, caramel, fruit, flowers, alcohol. Big medium body, bordering on chewy. Lots of sweetness in the taste - so much that it postpones the finish until the layer of sugar clears from my tongue. Citrus-infused caramel taste. Flowers, pine and grapefruit on the exit. Final score: Hop 3, Malt 3. I figured the hops would have pulled out the win on their home court.

bottle from ucusty. BB jan/08. pours orange/amber with a off white head. aroma is all hops with grapefruit, caramel malt and pine thrown in. flavor reminds me of carrot cake....spices, grapefruit/orange, grass and some piney alcohol. leaves a very perfumey grapefruit aftertaste. medium body and carbonation.

Nice brew. You can tell it’s triple hopped. The aroma of citrus right at opening. Taste is brisk with a citrus bitter finish.

This really is an exceptionally clean, crisp IPA, with a very clean after taste. Only for real hop lovers, though. Had this originally at the Buffalo Brewfest in 2007.
