drjay44 (757), Salida, Colorado, USA Jan 15, 2009 Updated: May 9, 200912 oz. bottle. Pours a thin lasting head with good lacing, over a clear golden body....nose of grapefruit, not floral, not resin, some yeast...tastes initially of malts then milder hop bitterness, with grapefruit tones dominating, then final lingering hop bitterness...mouth feel is medium. Quite delicious, an excellent example of the milder "East Coast" style of IPA. mikalooch (158), , New Jersey, USA Jan 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden with a nice white head, nice lacing. Nice hop aroma with underlying citrus. Very smooth, hops with pine and orange. Medium amount of carbonation, nice texture. Very drinkable and enjoyable, a staple in my house. nj4christ (26), Columbus, New Jersey, USA Jan 14, 2009 Smooth and drinkable, it pours a golden caramel with a slight white head. Nice aroma. A quite good IPA. rbrazell (57), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jan 13, 2009 Pours a clear gold with a small white head. Hops and citrus through the nose and taste. Very good IPA. Smooth and drinkable. scoth (266), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Jan 11, 2009 Pours clear golden, with a thin white head, pretty good lacing. Smells of pine, grapefruit and grass. Medium-thin body, crisp. A little bit of apple and caramel sweetness covered in big pine and citrus, medium bitterness, with a mild bitter aftertaste. Very well balanced and drinkable. jeff789 (357), Pennsylvania, USA Jan 10, 2009 There is a certain earthiness that dogfish head attains with this IPA that is unique... To me, there is only a handful of IPA’s that i’ve tried that actually have a relative uniqueness within the style... The flavors of the hops, and the way the hops seem to be more present towards the end of the sip as opposed to the initial sip are quite interesting... The flavor ranks up there with the best but with its own twist... This is a bit of a love it or hate it beer from my perspective... I Love It... RedBeardPT (1), , Texas, USA does not count Jan 10, 2009 Pours a nice, clear golden color with a good hop aroma and taste. Nice clean finish, very good IPA. zer0crew (55), Duluth, Minnesota, USA Jan 8, 2009 Updated: Jan 18, 200912 oz bottle. Pours a bright carmel color with a slight head. Nice aroma. All in all a great smelling, pretty good tasting IPA.
