Similar hopping schedule to Pliny (Simcoe, Columbus which is Tomohawk in this brew, Centennial) the only diference is Cascade... but you can taste the difference.
The point being "YOU CAN TASTE THE DIFFERENCE". This little dark horse is up there. I got 6 and will probably get 6 more... crack into it - you’ll see!

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Tap @ O’Briens. Poured clear copper-gold with a short white head. Moderate lacing. For a straight IPA, this was fantastic. Sometimes, you get the DIPA that calls itself an IPA, but this is jsut a well-done, big-hop single IPA. Crisp, fresh pink grapefruit, pine needles, orange peel, and mango in the nose. Sharp mouthfeel with a good amount of carbonation. No stickiness in the finish. The aroma follows through nicely in the taste. Grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, and that bite of resin. The caramel malt stays muted and does not turn this into a candied mess. Please sell more bottles of this in San Diego. harbuck76 (129), El Cajon, California, USA

Pours amber with medium white head that quickly disapears. aroma is grassy lemony,hints of grapefruit.has a nice malt backbone. I was not expecting it to be as sweet as it was . It does finish somewhat bitter. decent ipa very drinkable no hints of 7.5.abv. Moosington (28), Costa Mesa, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 17, 2009 Bomber from Hi-Time. Aroma is a sweet malty and pine/citrus combo, though not too heavy on the nose. Pours a nice vibrant golden color with a quickly dissipating small white head. Flavor follows aroma, excellent malty, spicy and citrus notes with a hop kick that stays with you. Excellent mouth feel, kinda full but still refreshing. Very nice output. craftbeerdesign (747), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 17, 2009 Honey colored. Strong, peaty, spicy hop aroma. Sweet malt backdrop to a powerful grassy hop taste, with a spicy, bready finish. Barely a bitter aftertaste. Awesome IPA. Could use more body.
