Unbelievable IPA. huge huge citrus hop aroma contered with a peppery spicy initial flavor. Smooth almost silky malt and light malt texture. Perfect mouth and perfect finish

Extra special thanks to Indiana Red for this tasty morsel. This is, without a doubt, the best IPA I have ever had. The perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness makes this one a must drink. Highly recommended!

UPDATED: JUL 8, 2009 1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle. Pours amber color with a head that dissipates quickly. Aroma: Pine and a hint of citrus. Flavor: Very hoppy, but not over-powering, with a hint of orange peel.

Looks, smells, and tastes like a Hefeweizen (Wheat Beer). Seriously. Did my bottle get mislabeled?

An IPA that doesn’t take no for an answer. Pine and resin off the top after pouring a dark amber with a large, lively, soapy head. Full on the tongue with a medium body and lots of hops to tickle your palate. Subtle on the malt, which is fine as this is for a true hophead. Easily one of the best IPAs I have ever had.

Gorgeous copper color, nice malty flavors meld perfectly with the hops, bitter with citrusy overtones, very well done IPA, easy to drink and extremely enjoyable!

22 oz bottle. Nice tangerine color with a sticky thick head. Aroma of citrus, pine and hops. The taste is malty sweetness nicely balanced out by the resinous hop juice. Had this with pizza at one of the best pizza places in New York and was blown away. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied and the finish is silky smooth.

Wow. Great hop-from-the-vine aroma. A lot of beers with great aroma from elysian. After the other beers so far I expected a hoppier IPA. A nice hop finish, but in reality on par for a SoCal IPA. The avatar is more interesting. A nice bitter finish though.
