Cloudy Red/Brown, beautifully unfiltered with a thin near white head. Sweet smelling of citrusy hops (oranges, peaches, lemons). Well carbonated. Nice hoppy flavor throughout, though it fades near the end of the glass.

Many thanks to rater Styles for recently sending me this, along with many other Awesome brews!
Pours with a large amount of unfiltered sediment in the bottom. The body is a dingy copper and the head sits fat and tall. The aroma beats the nose with a large dose of hops.. citrus oils, pine sap and wood chips. The flavor hits with a nice measure of caramel malt, a slight bready-ness and a bittering blast of grapefruit and lemon in the hearty dry finish.
The body is a bit thin, but G-Damn if this isn’t a drinkable beer!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Orange color with a great off-white head that smelled a little like grapefruit skin. The hops had lots of bite and the beer could have used a little more malt to give it a better balance. Bitter flavor not nasty but stayed on my tounge longer than even I liked. For hop heads only.

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2007 Rust colored, fluffy off-white head. Huge resinous character up front. Pine and malt. Plenty of zest in the background. Flavor is all citrus zest, fades to some toasted malt, caramel sweetness, finishes with pine and dusty malt. Mouthfeel is sticky thick. Glad I decided to check in on my rating.

UPDATED: AUG 25, 2005 Bottle: Great sweet grapefruit aroma. Pours a real hazy amber. Lots of sediment floating around. Has a creamy off-white head that is short lasting. A little light up front but very nice balanced citrus and piney hop finish. Is a little thinner than most IPA’s which seems to give it more of a creamy texture, but still thin none the less. Vastly underated at a 3.3. ***** Bought this use in trades. Had another for only the second time. Still good, but after having several more IPA’s, I wouldn’t say this deserves 4’s across the board anymore. Probably the first of many MI beer re-rates. ***** Much better on tap. Very similar to Two Hearted with a tad less hops. Bottle - 3.6 Tap 4.0
