phildorsey (42), Fort Lewis, Washington, USA Oct 17, 2009 1 pint 6 oz. Bottle. Pours hazy amber; a small frothy head looms for a short period. The aroma is citrusy but light to the nose. Hop flavors control the palate and the taste is very fizzy, but the finish is somewhat bitter. A classic IPA caesar (3020), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands Oct 16, 2009 Bottled. Clear golden color, short head. Hoppy aroma. Bitter taste. Nothing special, just a regular IPA. Decent stuff. neepsntatties (283), Portland, Oregon, USA Oct 15, 2009 On tap at the Elysian Fields pub. Colour... lightly golden-orange. Nose... fairly grape-fruity with some malt. Palate... burst of grapefruit up front, crisp, fresh and a long hoppy finish. skortila (2879), Bunnik, Netherlands Oct 15, 2009 Bottle@UDRM. Tnx JBrus! Aroma has citric hops. Slightly hazy, orange coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste is bitter, little sweet. Citric hops again. Medium body. Descent beer. Ober (1165), Bommelerwaard, Netherlands Oct 13, 2009 Bottle @ tasting by jbrus. A little hazy amber colored beer, with a thick white head. The aroma of fruits and hop. It’s biter and sweet. The taste is dry bitter, fruity like citrus, with a little flowers. The aftertaste is bitter and a little dry. ben4321 (957), Rockville, Maryland, USA Oct 11, 2009 Location: Location: 22 oz bottle

Overall Impression:
This is a pretty decent IPA, not the greatest beer I’ve ever tried, but a pretty darn good example of the style. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.
jbrus (4835), Delft, Netherlands Oct 11, 2009 Bottle@UDRM. Very nice IPA. Not too complex, nor overwhelming or one-dimensional hop as many US brewers tend to do. This is balanced and easy going. Yet still flavourful. zach8270 (2051), Henrietta, New York, USA Oct 7, 2009 (bottle - 22 oz) Lightly hazy amber pour with a white head. Aroma has some slight fruity notes along with some very nice and floral hops. Flavor begins with a citrusy and flowery taste, moving smoothly to a rather dry and very lightly bitter middle. Finishes dry and bitter, but not overpoweringly so.
