DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Jul 19, 2008 Updated: Mar 28, 2009Bottle. Very pleasing IPA. Uniformly good in aroma, appearance and flavor. Intensely citrusy, mainly grapefruit. Moderate head. Great from start to finish. Absolutely a favorite. Grievously and outrageously underrated on this site. kpresley77 (133), Jackson, Georgia, USA Jul 18, 2008 Bottle pours clear golden with little to no head. Aroma is some pine and sweet citrus hops. First taste is sweet followed by pine hops flavor. A slight hops burn follows but it does not linger. 502Flavors (617), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jul 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle into shaker. Nice honey amberish brown pour with a descent slightly off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit hops; sweet juicy and refreshing. Flavor throws me off a bit though - not what the aroma might suggest. It was sweet and a bit funky (musty) with mostly a strange and unbalanced malt hop presence. Not very bitter. Medium bodied on the palate with soft carbonation. Overall: pretty good, but might as well go for the 90, even though it costs a bit more. AndyReynolds (280), Wilder, Kentucky, USA Jul 16, 2008 An awesome IPA, pours a golden tan with a thick white head. Tastes very hoppy with pine and citrus hints, has a little malty flavor in the after taste. A great everyday beer for a hophead. alebrewer (121), Mentor, Ohio, USA Jul 16, 2008 Great drinkable IPA not as bitter as the 90. great balance between malt and hops. gkao007 (26), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA Jul 16, 2008 Piney, strong bitter hops with malty undertones. 5 second finish. Leaves slight dryness on palate urging you to take another sip. Surprisingly paired very well with Chinese food. Especially General Tso’s Chicken. (no joke) BiddleBrau (303), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Jul 15, 2008 Updated: Feb 11, 2009Pours clear golden with thin white head. Huge orange blossom bouquet. Hops hit you from the get-go but finish with little after taste, melding with the malt that hangs in the background. This is not a heavy feeling beer, really well balanced and full of clean flavor. MuttyD (93), Cambridge, USA Jul 15, 2008 One of the best everyday drinkable beers I’ve ever tried. Hoppy/floral aroma. Perfect balance of malt and bitterness. Smooth finish.
