nefarious (52), grand blanc, Michigan, USA Jun 18, 2008 one of my favorite session beers......all the requirements of a exceptional IPA Florals and citrus notes with hop bite and citrus pine finish. Give me more.
mansquito (645), Boston/Philadelphia, USA Oct 12, 2008 Pours a big beige head and has a coppery amber body. Really flowery and fruity aroma. Not as hoppy smelling as other IPAs and I think that is a good thing. This beer is not hop slaughter, but it still packs a moderate punch. Big flowery and fruity taste... aroma gives you a good hint. Somewhat bitter and pretty citrusy. Various discernible taste is a complex and quality IPA. beerbill (1321), Laurel, New York, USA Oct 9, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a moderate off-white head that lasted through to the end of the glass and left a layer of foam with each sip. Very pleasant aroma of pine, grapefruit, and malt. The flavor is malt up front, followed by some strong pine. Nice hops bite at the finish with some dryness at the end. Well balanced and enjoyable. LilBeerDoctor (640), East Setauket, New York, USA Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear deep orange/brown with a thick, foamy, creamy off-white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma of citrus, floral, a hint of bitter piney hops, and caramel malt. Flavor is fairly malty, nice caramel and brown sugar undertones. Nice citrusy finish. Not super hoppy, but I suspect that my bottle might not be super fresh. This is a tasty beer though! IHABrew (3), , New Jersey, USA does not count Oct 5, 2008 You know this brew is loaded with hops from the first smell. The hops pack quite a punch, but the malt balances things out making for a nice, easy to drink IPA. A great example of an American IPA. NaturalIce (92), originally from Michigan, New Jersey, USA Oct 4, 2008 12 oz bottle; Great beer. Aroma of floral hops. Hops and citrus flavor with that terrific bitter bite of an IPA. The finish outstanding as the bitterness quickly diminishes into a sweeter malt. I love IPA’s
