Jul 28, 2008 22 oz. bottle - pours clear and a vibrant copper; foaming white head settles quickly; a stale bitterness on the nose; drinks with a bitter kick too and very dry; not much body and the bitterness overwhelms just about everything else; a one-dimensional IPA

Jul 28, 2008 Copper color with a large head. Grainy aroma. A bit of pine and grapefuit. Very grainy taste. Almost astringently bitter, but not a hoppy bitter, more like bad and dusty grain.

Jul 25, 2008 perfume. Taste is a soapy & floral hoppiness, a little on the brash side followed by a light caramel sweetness.
douglas88 (1557), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Jul 25, 2008 Bottle from the Utah State Store. Pours a copper color with a medium white head. The aroma is full of a nice caramel malt and bitter hop notes. The taste was quite smooth; a bitter up front grapefruit with a easy caramel and malty body. Easygoing and quite nice.
Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
Jul 24, 2008 Purchased a single 22-oz bomber from Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a semi-clear, pale orange amber brew with a decent and long lasting off-white head that has some nice retention and sticky lacing. Aroma of both grassy and flowery hops, some caramel and dry malt, plus some grapefruit zest. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of multi-grain and caramel malt, flowery and grassy hops with some herbal spice and apricots. Finish is semi-sweet with a mild bitterness. Not your typical over the IPA but still has a nice mild bitter finish.
