May 29, 2006 Clear amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, earthy, some grapefruit, light caramel. Taste is milde sweet, earthy, some grapefruit, quite bitter. Smooth medium body. Needs more balancing malt.

Jun 4, 2008 Tasted at Noogfest 4.0 (2008). This IPA pours a medium copper color from the growler. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is citrusy hops and some malt. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are citrusy and grapefruity. A touch on the sweet side, but a very drinkable IPA. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Jun 20, 2008 Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a hazy light orange color with a thin white head that ebbs slowly. Thin sheet of lacing on the glass. Aroma of piney hops and earthy malt. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with hops and pine flavors and just a hint of malt in the background. The finish is hoppy with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Overall this is a slightly above average, kind of one-note IPA.

Dec 31, 2004 Cloudy amber with a great head and lacing. The aroma is nicely hoppy with backing from the sweet malt. Mandarin oranges and orange blossoms top off the hop character with more bitter aroma lurking underneath. The flavor is fairly sweet malt, almost two sweet with a lingering bitterness in the finish. The alcohol lurks underneath the slightly toasted bread malt and there’s that strained yeast flavor that characterizes many double IPAs and barleywines, but seems out of place in a beer at only 7% abv. If they’d dry this beer out some, it’d be awesome, but the sweetness is holding it back.
