Nov 27, 2009 Pours light orange with an enormous white, frothy head. Looks incredible. You can smell the alcohol through the aromas of citrus. The flavor is heavier on citrus than hops to me. Very dry, alcoholic, and bitter on the finish.

Nov 26, 2009 12oz bottle. Nice clear bright golden with a good head. Hot hop pine aroma. Palate is all hot, pepper hops. Lacks some malt sweetness and weight to give it balance. Drinkable enough but Im not seeing what all the fanfare and hype is all about...

Nov 23, 2009 Bottle. Poured amber with a white head that laced nicely. Aroma was a nice combination of grapefruit and earthy notes. The flavor had the same notes with the earthy notes taking more of a dominate position.

Nov 23, 2009 Bottle. Pour is lighter than most of its ilk, nice carbonation bubbles and small white head. Nose is grapefruit and a little straw and earthiness. Flavor is all grapefruit bitterness. Certainly a beer for hopheads (in which I would include myself), and well-made, but I find it really one-dimensional and not very interesting.

Nov 21, 2009 12 oz bottle from John’s - Beautiful copper color with a nice 1/2" creamy head. Tastes as good at it looks. This is what an IPA should be.
