Shonkers (3), Ohio, USA does not count Sep 10, 2009 Bottle dispensed, this nectar is my "go-to brew", a daily vice that permits me joyous relief from the drudgery of life. Pine, citrus--these smells, already well-described by my rating predecessors here waft to my overly large nostrils. Taste matches the heady aroma, and washes away any doubt of this beer’s intrinsic value, and its impeccable reputation. For those poor souls who cannot obtain this gem, I weep for thee. TampaBrew (749), Tampa, Florida, USA Sep 7, 2009 POurs orange. Nose is loads of citrus and sweet malts. Flavor is big citrus hops, bitter hop bite, caramel malt and some pine. I really like this IPA. oelhunden (12), skibby, Denmark Sep 7, 2009 Another fantastic american IPA , nuts, citrus, licorice, - i’l find that beer again jport4087 (73), Pennsylvania, USA Sep 7, 2009 Many bottles...really good IPA. The taste was very fresh, but not overpowering, like with most IPA’s. KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan Sep 7, 2009 Draught at Murphy’s Law in Rochester. Big citrus-pine nose. Very good malt, with rich caramel and perfect sweetness. Great hops. Possibly THE perfect session beer. thirdeye11 (416), Texas, USA Sep 7, 2009 ( 12oz bottle dated 5/15/09) pours opaque yellow, nice head and great lacing. Nose of pine and citrus hops. Taste is citrus hops, light touch of pine, and the sweetness is very well balanced. In fact this is as well balanced as an IPA gets and I can drink it all night. A huge statement since I’m not huge on hops. jzzbassman (838), New Albany, Mississippi, USA Sep 6, 2009 Brassy pour with a big foamy head. Fresh hop aroma with a fresh pine scent. Malty and citric, better balanced than the 90min that I love, with some earthy notes. patrickfannon (274), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 4, 2009 Updated: Oct 4, 2009Draft. Pours deep, clear amber. Thick, frothy, beautiful white head. Brilliant lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, grapes, spice, and hops. Full body with a sugary, refreshing finish. Great local IPA.
