Sep 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle pour yielded a heavily bitter IPA. This brew features a very dry floral aroma, but lacks the balance characterisic of typical imperial IPAs. However, the clarity, head retention and notable lacing illustrates the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail of this ale’s brewer. Flavor was dry and grapefruit like. Not as deep or complex as other IPAs in this class. Overall, this is an average quality IPA, one which could easily be enjoyed with some hot dogs at a summer picnic.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle from riversideAK. Shared with my buddy Taylor. Nice copper pour with a small off-white head. Nose is nicely balanced hop and malt profile. Flavor is similar. I have nothing bad to say about this beer. There were no off flavors from what I could tell and it tasted very well made. Not too intriguing to me overall, but a

Aug 6, 2008 hazy coppery brown pour with a nice creamy head - excellent fruity aroma with a citrusy ’kick’ - taste is of oranges/sweet grapefruit with a slight caramelized taste and lots of malt. Not a lot of bittering although it does leave a peppery aftertaste. The lingering aftertaste is similar to eating a hop infused fresh orange. The bittering agents could definitely stand to be more complex in this beer.

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours very nice, cloudy golden yellow with big dense head and great lacing. Noise is okay, hops, pin, a bit of malt and citrus. Taste is fruity and malty sweet, not what i want in an IPA really. finishes okay.

Jun 14, 2008 Its most impressive characteristic is, without doubt, its appearance. It all goes down hill from there. Nice 2-inch fluffy white head and burnt orange color. Decent carbonation. Flavor is overly bittered and lingers on the palate. There isn’t anything to add balance.

May 26, 2008 This one poured a copper colorwith a faint perfume and orange aroma. The flavor is rather malty for an IPA with just a hint of bitterness. Some oranges and lemons in the flavor. Overall nothing wrong with it but nothing to make you hoop and holler. I will also refrain from "dick" jokes
