Jan 24, 2008 This is not a bad IPA. Cloudy amber, nice head. Smells really good. Hops like crazy. Upfront and a really long lasting citrus almost metalic aftertaste. Not quite enough as far as malt sweetness, but still enough body to satisfy. I like it, not really something I would buy again. Definitely original taste, but nothing spectacular. Got to try as many as I can tho.

Jan 21, 2008 HInt of grapefruit and plenty of happy hop aroma. Poured with small but respectable head into a tulip glass. Pretty-looking in the glass. This Inversion IPA is malt-heavier than most. I didn’t get the crisp release of hops; rather a more malty sweet aftertaste with lingering hop metallic tones on the cheeks. Malt and hop interplay isn’t totally in sync. It’s worth drinking again, but perhaps my expectation and anticipation were too far ahead. Certainly respectable.

Jan 18, 2008 Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear orange-amber with an average size off-white head. Nice aroma of resiny hops backed by caramel malt and some citrus fruit thrown in. Flavour’s the same, resiny hops backed by caramel malt, some citrus and a good bitter finish. Medium bodied. A pretty good IPA.

Jan 12, 2008 Dark amber with nice thick, creamy head and sticky lacing.
Aroma and flavor is citrus and pine and hops.
Good medium powered IPA with a good citrus finish.
Not bad!

Jan 11, 2008 Updated: Aug 9, 2008Poured a hazy amber. Nice big head an heavy lacing. Hops are abundant from the nose to the finish. Hops are nicely blended with the malt. My original rating was poor. Either the IPA got better or I am in a whole different place.

Jan 6, 2008 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry and Blankboy, Harry’s bottle. Last beer of a really nice 14 beer Friday night just hanging out, thanks for having us over Blankboy! Dark orange, medium white head. Nice hop aroma, but lots of malt there too! Huge hop taste! Pronounced because of the wonderful light malt body. Great linger. Huge flavour at this alcohol, another solid IPA.

Jan 4, 2008 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, my bottle. Clear amber, average head. Light roast malt backing, and tons of hops- crisp and thorough. The taste is even more bitter, grapefruit pith and floral acidic notes. Light body, solid bitterness and astringency, not too boozy. Great drinkin’ IPA.

Jan 4, 2008 Has an interesting peach element to the aroma. Good malt balance. Finish is unique, (not sure if that’s good or not), it’s like a prickly pineyness. Weird.
