2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: APR 2, 2012 I had this on tap at Elevator’s Brewery and Drought Haus on 3/7/12. It Pours a clear copper with a small white head. There is a aroma of hops but it is not very strong. The taste is medium in bitterness. It has a medium body with a quick bitter finish. This is nothing special. I am not sure if it was the batch I got but it was had almost no aroma and there was not much to the beer at all.
Had this again from the bottle on 4/2/12 and it had a much better hops aroma of herbs and flowers. I was more of an amber color than copper. It is a bit more bitter from the bottle. Other than those two things this beer still is not that good.

12oz bottle. Stated ABV is 7.6%. Totally hazy amber color, lots of particles inside the body and at the bottom of the glass. Minimal white head, some lace. Moderate carbonation, decent texture. Some viscosity. Lots of particles inside the body and at the bottom of the glass. Fresh fruit-punch-like hop aroma. Mild sort of tangy sweet taste. Solid malt balance. A decent IPA, that’s on the bigger side.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 ounce bottle. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a slightly hazy amber color with about a half inch off-white head. Head retention is decent, and there’s a lot of lacing left behind on the glass. Aroma is nice, it smells like citrusy hops, caramel malt and a bit of floral hops. It tastes like pine and citrusy hops (tropical fruit, grapefruit) and caramel malt. There’s also a lingering bitter hoppy finish. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a bit creamy and has moderate carbonation. I think it’s a decent enough brew. It’s not the first time I’ve had this, and it probably won’t be the last. Worth a try.

Great color,the aroma was hoppy, taste was crisp/nice mouth feel. It was great on tap at the Elevator Pub in downtown Columbus,Ohio. The bottled beer was fresh tasting, carbonation/head retention was good

Dark gold pour and a rocky head. The aroma is a little mixed - some sea breezes, a little lemon, and sweet hops. A plenty sweet IPA with some orange peel and pine. Very nice.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Dublin/Columbus. Pours a clear copper with a medium creamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of floral and minty hops, caramel malts and a bit of tea. The taste is earthy, herbal hops, tea, caramel malts and grain. Medium bodied. A little weird, but pretty decent.
