(12oz bottle) Crystal clear light amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, some straw, caramel, light grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, pine, grassy, some caramel, somewhat astringent. Light-medium body with a little bit of alcohol sneaking through. Not "miserable" by any means, but certainly subpar.

Jul 16, 2008 Clear orange in color with a small off white head. Aroma: floral and light citrus, with some grain, light honey and some crystal malts. Taste is mild floral and citrus hops, with grain and crystal malts/caramel. Body is alright for the 6.5 ABV but the hop character is nowhere near assertive enough. Ugh, clean, no flaws that I could pick up but not something I would revisit in a bottle.

Jul 11, 2008 Poured a clear deep gold with a small white head. The aroma is fairly floral with just a little sweet almost sugary caramel malt sticking out. Some citrus under that. The hop flavor is earthy with some citrus. Cereal and caramel notes. Light bodied with a dry liight but long bitterness.

Jul 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours gold with an off white head. Grassy and floral hop aroma. Medium body. Flavor starts with a quick hint at sweet caramel, but quickly move to a grassy/floral hop bitterness that lasts for quite awhile. It’s drinkable.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle: Aroma is a mixture of oranges, hay, caramel, light fruit, and the slightest hint of grapefruit hops. The aromas do not mesh too well. It pours a transparent amber wtih a moderate creamy orange-tinged white head that leaves behind some nice webbing for lacing. The flavor starts with caramel and orange flavors with a very mild grapefruit hopped finish. There are more hops in the aftertaste than the actual flavor. Light-medium bodied with soft carbonation and slightly creamy mouthfeel. Not bad, but a pretty ordinary IPA.

Jun 26, 2008 Had this at the Harrisburg brewfest. Quite a yellow color, not much off-white head. Aroma was mostly pine resin, not much citrus. Very long finish. Was very dry and crisp mouthfeel. Overall a decent IPA, but not outstanding.
