BBB63 (3681), La Porte, Indiana, USA Apr 27, 2008 Bottle and served in standard pint glass: Clean coppery golden hue with a fading but lasting frothy head which left very good lace upon the glass. The aroma has notes of aromatic, citric, resiny, spicy and leafy hops along with some biscuity pale malts and a hint of chalky yeast esters. The taste is pretty much straight forward hop bitterness and acidity with just a hint of malt in the background. The finish is hop spicy and a bit astringent. There is also a note of the 8% alcohol found within. The mouth feel is aggressive and biting, lively and metallic. A good IPA that delivers on the promise of hop bitterness.

Aroma and taste of toffee, citrus and fruit. Dry earthy finish. mgumby10 (1502), West Palm Beach, Florida, USA Jul 13, 2008 Courtesy Odeed. Pours a clear light orange color, with a small white head. Smells of some big grapefruit hops, very piney, with a crispness about it. The flavor was also very crisp and sharp, with a big hop character and a nice hop bitterness to it. Prety juicy grapefruit citrus was also quite evident. Nice and crisp IPA, full flavored with a great palate. Another quality brew from a quality brewer.
