Dec 7, 2008 bottle - Pours amber orange with a two finger head. The aroma is of citrus hops. The flavor has a little sweet caramel malt up front followed by intense citrus hops. It has the expected long, hopped finish. Good.

Dec 6, 2008 lots of lace on the glass and a dry hoppy taste. Had on tap at the Sport restaurant in Fisher Plaza. Slightly above average.

Nov 29, 2008 12oz. bottle, best before Jan. ’09. Freshly citric aroma, lightly sweet and floral with notes of grapefruit, pine and faint caramel. Standard, maybe, but appealing nonetheless. Mostly clear dark amber color with a lasting, foamy head. Flavor is fairly malty and sweet to start, more caramel and light brown sugar sweetness, turning hoppier and fruity, more citrus detected here, and finishing clean with a nice punch of bitterness. Smooth, creamy palate, soft effervescence, body is medium-full. Decently balanced, actually pretty tasty.

Nov 18, 2008 12oz. bottle, best by 11/11/08 with thanks to bitbucket for one of many, many bonus beers from our trade! Pours a cloudy orange amber with a chunky three finger foamy tan head, excellent lacing and good retention. Aroma is pine/resin, light cirtus and a minimal whiff of caramel. Flavor is more fruity and floral, with only the slightest pine pushed to the background. Moderate hops bite that lingers a bit on the palate. Clean and easy drinking; nothing outstanding, but a decent IPA. Thanks again Bob!

Oct 30, 2008 Light bubbly head on amber. Aroma is very light; mellon and hops. Surprising strong nice hop flavour. LIght body with a touch of alcohol and a nice hop flavour.

Oct 27, 2008 Pours a reddish clear orange with a small off-white froth. Super resiny/piney aroma, fresh tree-sap, pine needles, ginger, botanicals and tea leaves. Unfortunately all those aromatics don’t work as well on the tongue. Taste of green tea/tea leaves, oily, resin, piney, and light honey sweetness. Quite floral, not terrible sweet with lots of bitterness. Oiley mouthful, medium/full with very smooth light carbonation. Well made, but too hard to drink being so floral.
