22oz bottle by means of megamaltman... pours a semi-hazy yet somewhat transparent medium amber brown with a moderate white soapy head... aroma of some pretty grassy and earthy hops and to a lesser extent citrusy but very light .... flavors were less enticing with an emphasis on a grassy, earthy, light citric hops in addition to a little herbal tea. bitterness was somewhat lacking although some came through, albeit barely, in the finish....would love to try it on tap but for now i consider it a pass.

Thanks to SuzyGreenberg. Fruity and light body. Piney flavor without an overbearing hops sense. Some decent malts in the background of the taste. Tasty finish.

Bottle with thanks to MrBunn for sharing. Orangey dirty pour. Heavy nose of pine and grapefruit. Flavor is resiny and a bit like biting a grapefruit peel. Very bitter, but a little thinner than I would expect.

On tap at Diamond Knot, June 2008. Attractive, somewhat cloudy golden with a white, frothy head. Pleasant grapefruit/cascade hop nose of moderate intensity. Flavor is heavy on the side of grapefruit, citrus/orange with a simple, pale malt base. Ample yet smooth bitterness level. Not much pine hop character. Medium to slightly light bodied with moderate carbonation. Very drinkable. I had very high hopes for this one and came away slightly disppointed but overall, still a very good IPA.

Bottle Trade with Scrizz. Pours a cloudy amber with a good off white head. The head deminishes slowly. Has a good hoppy aroma of citrus, pine, a little malts, and some floral. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is plenty hoppy with a mild bitterness. Has a medium body and a resiny texture. Has a decent finish with a good aftertaste. This is a tasty beer.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of hops, light pine, light grapefruit, and slight tropical fruit. Poured amber in color with a small, creamy, dense, rocky, off-white head that lasted throughout. Hazy. Not sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is medium to heavily bitter. Tastes of hops, pine, light caramel malt, and slight resin. Medium body. Dry texture. Average carbonation. Hoppy, slight caramel malt, and pine finish is dry.
