Jan 1, 2009 Beer pours copper with a slight white head and slight haze. Beer has a citrusy grapefruit hop aroma. Beer flavor has an excellent hop flavor that hangs on the palate throughout the swallow. There is a slight indication of malt presence, but very minor. Palate is very nice without having too much stickyness or dryness. Overall beer is a nice IPA and I would definatley have this again.

12 oz. best before Feb 24, 2009 sent as a bonus to me by acrdz. Pours a good looking hazy red hue with a well formed tan head. The hop definition on the nose is superb. It isn’t obnoxious, but an assertive, juicy, bittersweet grapefruit character is well imparted. A sweet caramel note is also present. The flavor delivers more bitterness than I thought and it’s so well portrayed in its clarity and cleanliness. Great citrus notes abound with a semi sewet, sticky malt body, and a dry, pitty finish. Flavors of berries and wood are also hinted at. This is a really good IPA.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. Nose is grapefruit, pine, citrus, touch of caramel. Initial taste of fruits, caramel, citrus. Mid palate to finish is medium hop balance with rhine bitterness. Flavor is rather poor, mouthfeel is too thin and oily. Balancing is slightly off. Good head retention and some spot lacing of the glass. Palate is average. Overall nothing special.

Dec 23, 2008 This one is malty like a MW IPA. Has that caramel malt profile that hits the back of your tongue. Too much diactyl and this would be a diactyl bomb, but it does not have any of that. Despite the caramel presence, this is a fairly dry IPA, even though the smell is very sweet. The hops are not too present in this one, though. Lacing is very nice. This one has a very citrusey finish. Aftertaste is a nice thick palate.

Dec 22, 2008 Poured a nuice amber color with an almost white head. Aroma was fairly sweet for an IPA caramel, and citrusy hops. Flavor was also caramel sweetness, some medicinal hop flavors and a nice bitter finish.
