spikester (435), Salem, Oregon, USA Apr 21, 2008 Pours copper-gold with a two-finger head, good amount of lacing. Aroma is piney and floral.
Taste is bitter citrus-piney hops fairly crisp. The malts are unable to balance the hop boldness but that is typical of an IPA.
Overall a very refreshing IPA though a bit high abv for much of a session.
JohnnyOS (625), Golden, Wisconsin, USA Oct 6, 2008 Poured flat with no head. Faint hoppy and citrus aroma with flat flavoring... bad bottle for sure. DTM (390), Winters, California, USA Oct 2, 2008 Bottle from Bottletrek in Eugene, OR. Overall this was a great brew, but I was expecting more from Dogfish. Tasted simiilar to most IPA’s and of course a step down from the 90 minute. If you want a really good IPA, go straight for the 90 don’t even bother with this one. Imperial-John (98), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Sep 30, 2008 Clear golden with very white foamy head that disappears. Hoppy orange, grapefruit aroma. Full bodied orange and pine taste with a bitter orange aftertaste. Very easy drinking. Ported (61), Ontario, Canada Sep 30, 2008 Transparent orange, with a small white head. nicely carbonated, good amount of hops, and slight citrus notes. Very well balanced, crisp bitter finish. I can drink these all night. yumyum (58), barrie, Ontario, Canada Sep 28, 2008 this is my favourite ipa to date. Has characteristic hoppiness but maintains a very balanced and drinkable brew. Also some citrusy notes in the flavour. Very easy drinking with a nice smooth finish. Very good easy drinking brew
