GG (1613), NorCal, California, USA Aug 4, 2007 Another so-so beer from the fellas at Full Sail. Aroma is soapy, a bit of chlorine/pool water like character to it with some piney aroma to it. Appearance is a medium orange color, hazy, with a HUGE eruptive head with big foamy bubbles and the head kept (3-4 fingers thick) thru the beer. Mouthfeel was a slightly harsh, a bit overcarbonated (like drinking a lite Alka Seltzer). Flavor was very piney with little malt to keep it balanced. Overly dry in my opinion. Nothing I’d buy again. Decent effort though. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Aug 1, 2007 Bottle. Nice and puckering wet hops are all over this. Tight head retention and a mixed bag of grains to sweeten it out. Fuck balance, this shit is good. scottmc (167), Lakewood, Colorado, USA Jul 6, 2007 A good IPA with a good mix of hops present in the aroma and taste. A heavy body, much more then the regular IPA by Full Sail. A clean finish and not dry at all. Tejas (693), Dallas, Texas, USA Jun 24, 2007 Dark for an IPA. Malty too but still plenty hoppy w/ a dry palate. Reminds me of Great Divide Titan. Would drink again if bombers were here in Tejas. 1st Full Sail I’ve liked that wasn’t completely average. kramer (2407), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA May 26, 2007 22 oz bottle, via kyzr. Pours a clear light copper body under a thinnish fizzy beige head that left some light lacing. Aroma is citrusy grapefruity hops over a lightly malty base. Flavor was fairly balanced, meaning mostly that there wasn’t an abundance of either malt or hops in this one. Finished on the maltier side with some toasted and toffee notes. Mouthfeel was medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation and a slight stickiness on the finish. Your basic run of the mill quality IPA. davidflores99 (225), Long Beach, California, USA Apr 16, 2007 Pours a light orange color with a small head. Aroma was typical IPA, citrusy and hoppy, same as the taste. Nothing special about it, but still a decent IPA. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Apr 11, 2007 Pours a transparent copper orange with a spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of citrusy grapefruity hops and some toasty pale malt. Starts lightly sweet and malty with a touch of caramel and toasted grain balanced with a lot of grapefruity hops with a drier sticky, earthy finish. A decent IPA, but needs more malty sweeetness and more flavor hops. brianjames1 (322), Northridge, California, USA Apr 5, 2007 Big white froathy head on this one need to let it settle down for a while, lacking in the strong hoppy scent that most IPAs have, not as bitter as most IPA’s , subpar by far
