Sep 23, 2008 Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye.
Pours a deep cloudy amber with white head. Aroma has nice hoppy, malty notes, with some citris, with a certain uniuqness quality I can not put my finger on....Flavor has a subtle sweetness with some malty notes with an obvious hoppy bitter. Mouthfeel is kinda watery with light-medium body. Overall, seemed like a kinda plain, good IPA......Nothing that stands out....

Sep 21, 2008 Poured orange/amber with a thich two-finger head and great lacing. Strong aroma of citrus hops. Hops also dominated the taste, with a gentle caramel flavor underneath. A bit of a watery mouthfeel, but great carbonation and a crisp clean hops aftertaste. The epitome of a West Coast IPA.

Sep 19, 2008 Pours an amber with thick white head. The nose is hops & a touch of citrus. Comes across the palate extremely hoppy initially. Finishes with a mild hop finish. Very well all around balanced IPA.

Sep 18, 2008 Golden hue with a decent head. Not much aroma I felt. It was citrus and piney hops, but it just had a bland sweet aroma to it, but nothing stood out, just an overwhelming bland factor. Flavor is an earthy piney hops that doesn’t seem to meld well. Mouthfeel is frighteningly thin and makes me sad.

Sep 16, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a clear burnt orange with a fluffy off white head that left some good lacing. A pretty big nose of floral hops and citrus, flavor was very hoppy and quite bitter.

Sep 15, 2008 22 oz. bomber, pours a burnt orange body with creamy, off-white head. Aroma of citrus and pine hops, orange, and grapefruit. Mouthfeel is thin. Flavor is initially watery up front with some caramel malt then turns to bitter, green and floral hops. Bitter grapefruit finish with a slightly astringent aftertaste.

Sep 15, 2008 Poured an effervescent golden with a tall frothy white head. Aroma of sweet orange and grapefruit, a bit of pine earthiness. Flavor is slightly sweet, lots of bitter grapefruit rind, pine needles, and earthiness, with a touch of a metallic character in the finish. Body feels okay but somewhat thin. Somewhat sweeter and cleaner, with sharper hops, and this would have been even better.

Sep 14, 2008 22 oz. pour. Clear amber with small sudsy off-white head that lasted throughout. Extremely effervescent. Light floral aroma that belies the hop kick from the first sip. Nice bite from hop bitterness that spreads throughout mouth quickly. Hints of orange peel and coriander. Solid IPA that’s perfect for summer refresher. Glad I got it before end of season.
