Bottle from Stockertown Beverage, PA. Aroma strikes a chord with me as the grapefruit jumps out over some pine needles and some lemon fruits. On sip the dryness has a nice centennial hoppy bite along with some biscuit and a small layer of maltiness underneath. Even though the aroma rocks and the beer has a nice creamy texture, it doesn’t seem overly complex in regards to the flavor. But it makes for a solid enjoyable and highly drinkable brew.

Jul 26, 2008 Lakewood, Oh. - Rozi’s Wine and Liquor House - 12 oz bottle. Overall, a very good solid hoppy IPA. Grapefruit-like, citrusy aroma with good sprucey notes. Copper color appearance with an off-white frothy thick head with a lot of lacing. Hoppy flavor is prominent and balanced quite well - moreso than some other big west coasts IPAs. Stays strong to the finish - taste bud numbing like a good IPA should.

Jul 23, 2008 (Sampled 7-10-08) 12 oz. bottle poured into shaker- poured light burnt orange in color, semi transparent, medium carbonation, Semi tractor with trailer size off white head formed and laced heavily. Aroma of citrus, hops, and even more hops. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt is omnipresent, some sweetness was noted for half a second in the middle, but then the hops kicked down the door, drew their guns, and took no prisoners well beyond the finish! Despite the hop overload sensation, everything is very well balanced. One that I just mysteriously didn’t add to my have list...

Jul 23, 2008 BITTER with hops. I mean, man--this beer is just overloaded with hops and citrus. I’m thankful for the sample from their tap room, but would never buy a bottle--just not a fan.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours copper with nice head. Big smell, is it weird to say I smell bazooka bubble gum? Nice herbal flavor. Good all around beer.
