Aug 6, 2008 Color is a nice golden brown, carbonation looks good with a light head. Aroma is a strong malt scent with good back tones of hops. Taste is full of flavor almost a Pale Ale. It starts off with a creamy body full of a roasted malt feel, this goes down easy. The finish is also full of flavor with a light bitterness and a good floral hop flavor part of which they claim comes from the hemp seeds. I rate this beer as VERY GOOD, it fits the description on the label very well and is one of the best full flavored brews I’ve had.

Aug 4, 2008 Poured from the 22 oz bottle, this dark orange hoppy ale retains the same light and bright citrus character that mirrors the bright label.
I dont’ agree with the commerical description that of how powerfully hoppy this IPA suggests it is.
It’s a hoppy ale but a light one.
Very tasty

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear golden color with a thick, fluffy off-white head that stuck around well. Aroma of spicy, floral hops with some undertones of citrus fruit. Lightly tart, citric entry leads into a spicy, lightly piny hop hit with moderate bitterness and undertones of citrus fruits and light caramel. It is a bit thin on the palate, but not too bad. Overall, a solid IPA, but nothing that really stands out or sets it apart, even from the rest of Full Sail’s line-up.

Aug 3, 2008 Much thanks to stefanje for this beer. Pours a cheddar orange (Kaggie97) with a nice head and good lacing. Nose is very much citrus with a spicy hop aroma. Oranges, grapefruit, mango, papaya and pine as well. Flavor is very hoppy with a strong grapefruit presence. Finishes with a citrus, spice bitterness. Very nice. Thanks stefan!

Aug 3, 2008 Pours clear, with a glowing orange-amber color. A small, frothy, cream colored head fades to a thin film, with some nice spiderweb lacing sticking to the glass. The aroma shows a sharp citrus theme, with grapefruit being the dominant varietal. There’s some pine resin in there as well, but the citrus is more prominent. A caramel malt background provides some sweetness, though it’s definitely on the bitter side of balanced overall. Flavors follow suit, again very hoppy, with grapefruit leading the charge. Medium-plus bodied and semi-dry, the malts counter a mild astringency that develops, keeping things drinkable. A very nice IPA overall, and great for the summertime months.
