Jul 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trtade with ditmier. Pours a hazy golden amber with a large off-white head that lasted through mid-glass and laced the glass from top to bottom. Very bright aroma of fresh grapefruit with a few caramel notes as well. The flavor is less fruity and concentrates more on the bitterness. Decent caramel backbone. Bitter finish that does not linger.

Jul 4, 2009 Pours clear orange-amber, with a medium-thin beige head, very fine, lasting lacing. Grapefruit, pine, apricot, and caramel aromas. Medium body, velvety and mildly dry. Flavors of grass, pine, with more apricot. The hops character is fairly subtle and complex. The Medium-strong bitter finish.

Jul 3, 2009 Light grassy hop nose, low scumy head, hazy amber. Sweet light caramel malt, big hop end but rounded that fills the mouth. Great west coast IPA.

Jun 17, 2009 Bottle from Sun Devil. Pours a dark shade of amber with a soapy tan head -- looks great. Smells of citrus zest and caramel. Tastes of both with additional notes of dates, flour, malt, brown sugar, and bitter hops on the mid-palate. Quite nice.

Jun 17, 2009 Pours ordinary amber with generous, meringue-like jiggly head that retains a thin layer down through the pint. Nose is very fruity with some candyish aromas in there too. On the palate there’s a balance of sweet caramel malt with sharp citrusy hop flavors. Mouthfeel is nice and creamy. Very drinkable.

Jun 16, 2009 bottle- thanks to Shelby!
Pours a clear burnished copper color, thin off white head that clears fast to leave a thin layer. Aroma on the muted side that delivers as advertised- earthy citrus grapefruits and oranges with some hints of pine needles in the background, and some smooth caramel sweetness. Nose is pleasant, if not especially unique or exciting. Flavor starts with earthy, resinous bitterness on a tamed scale. Hop profile shows less citrus than the nose, with much more earthy floral notes and resins; some orange and lemon citrus notes as well. Malt balance shows through with smooth, dry, semisweet caramel and biscuits. Flavor follows the nose- solid and good, but nothing especially unique. Palate is thick, full, and clean with a smooth finish and even carbonation. Overall a good, solid IPA, nothing to get too excited over but would regularly show up in my fridge if I could get it in MA.

Jun 10, 2009 Coppery amber, smells a nice balance of hops and sweetness. Taste is nice hops, light grapefruit bitterness, middle taste is, I swear, exactly like those big orange ’Circus Peanut’ candies. Really interesting. Finish is nice bitter, not overpowering, not too watery. Nice, solid IPA.
