COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A medium-bodied, golden IPA that gets in your face from first sweet sip to crisp, dry finish with the exotic tropical fruit flavors and aromas of New Zealand Motueka hops. With just enough malt character to keep the aggressive hop presence in check, and an unruly 7.5% abv, this brew was seemingly born to kick ass. And RAZE HELL!

willblake (2627) - Bel Air, Maryland, USA - FEB 14, 2009
20090207 Tap at Bel Air location. Pale amber, pretty light for an IPA. Other than color, this fits the standard brewpub IPA mold. Clean, mild, simple. Nice pithy finish.

riversideAK (5458) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - DEC 31, 2008
Growler from Beachbum25. Thanks. Bright gold pour with a nice fluffy lasting head and super sticky icky lacing. A really nice looking beer IMO. The aroma is of toasted caramel malts, some bread, and hops in the form of earth, citrus, and wood. Nice toasted malts, a touch of sweetness, all rounded out with nice earthy hops, citrus skins and wood. The carbonation is light and the beer drinks very smoothly. Quite good for session drinking.

this is the beer that replaced my beloved Venom. it’s not bad, but it’s a little weak for an IPA. More like an APA. pours light orange amber with a white head. lots of lacing. malty, hoppy aroma. spicy hops. taste is malt and hops. pretty straightforward.
