12 oz. bottle at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured hazy copper with ridiculously fluffy head. TONS of lacing. Lots of sweet caramel in the flavor with a bitter finish. OK at best.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle sampled at NFB&WF ’08 at Martha Clara Vineyards. Pours a clear gold. Aroma of pine and not much else. Flavor is again mostly pine with a very weak malt backbone. Bitter, astringent finish, like sucking on the white pith of a grapefruit. Not very good.

Jun 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark amber body with an off white head. Aroma is sweet hoppiness some with some fruit. Flavor is strongly hoppy almost like copper. Not for me.

does not count  Jun 15, 2008 6/15/2008 - 12 oz bottle, pint glass. Poured large white head with piney aromas. Could have a fuller body and darker color. Overall a decent but not great IPA.

May 14, 2008 3/12/08 notes: bottle. Pours a light apricot color with a small white head. Medium body with a slightly oily texture. Aroma is of cascade hops, pine. Body is smooth, and there is a nice blend of hops that add complexity, balanced tastefully by malt flavors. I taste some orange fruitiness in the body as well. Definitely a quality brew, just nothing special. Flavors are a bit too mute, and I like hops to be a bit firmer in an IPA.
