JHunter (242), British Columbia, Canada Oct 15, 2009 pours a golden yellow colour with a thin head nice smooth cream hop aroma. taste very smooth citrusy hoppy on the palate pressboxjoe (69), , New Jersey, USA Oct 15, 2009 Bottle. Relatively pale. Woodsy, piney floral aroma. Lemony on the tongue, with a pronounced malt balance. Always interesting to come back to this one after trying a number of other IPAs. Subtly complex. While it may be relatively straightforward, I think that’s almost refreshing as so many brewers (including DFH) seem to be trying to knock our socks off with every beer. mcberko (124), British Columbia, Canada Oct 14, 2009 On tap at the Alibi Room - pours a hazy copper colour with a white head. Lots of hops in aroma and flavour with rich malts and a little sweetness. An excellent IPA. Elwood (676), Leesburg, Virginia, USA Oct 12, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Slightly hazy copper color with a light meringue like, white head. Great head retention and good lacing too.
Aroma: Big pine and earthy hop nose. Citrus notes help round things out. Smells like dry hopping to me. Definitely a nose you expect from a good IPA.
Flavor: Citrus hops dominate followed by earthy and pine notes. Rich malt notes help lend a little honey sweetness, but it is quickly subdued by all of the hop bitterness. Great flavor.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-rich mouthfeel and a long, bitter finish. A nice rounded mouthfeel.
Overall: A great IPA that everyone should try. The body is a little heavy so I could only session a few of these. Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Oct 11, 2009 Bottle from the Kroger on Lamar. Poured a medium orange with an off with head. Weak fruity aroma with a little hops on it. Wanted more of a full flavor, but it was a good, dry, hoppy taste. dwaggs2 (534), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA Oct 11, 2009 Bottle. Poured a dark amber orange color. Aroma was pines, and lots of hops. Very bitter aftertaste. Great beer dnstone (136), , New Jersey, USA Oct 10, 2009 Light malty hoppy aroma with excellent, lasting white head. Golden color. Real middle of the road, a good standard IPA. RR (26), Kentucky, USA Oct 10, 2009 Little Brother to the 90 Minute. Great Floral Aroma. Flavor is hoppy and of citrus. lighter orange in color. White head. Pretty safe beer. above average B+
