footbalm (1218), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Feb 4, 2005 pours a deep amber with no head.Nose is an awesome smack of floral ,perfumy hops and "holy" grapefruit.I can’t help but love the aroma of a good IPA.Has a nice bitterness but the malts and the piney hops dominate.good feel on the tongue. hopdog (5535), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 30, 2005 2004 bottle. Poured a amber color with a larger off white head. Aromas and tastes of grapefruit and citrus. Started of lightly sweet and ended with a nice moderately bitter kick. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Jan 20, 2005 2004 bottle. A big, beautiful resin nose comes from a hazy orange elixar. A nice bitter grapefruit sweetness is right up front then comes more hops to buckle the tongue some more. Great stuff. slimweebs (139), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Jan 19, 2005 Yummy! Nice and fruity... has a very citrusy flavor to it. Smooth finish, with a nice hoppy kick! Nicely balanced, and looks good in a glass. One of the better IPA’s I’ve had. Bonus points for a sweet name. qdog (201), Cleveland, Mississippi, USA Jan 8, 2005 Bottle thanks to wohlfs, medium off white head, orangish amber color slightly cloudy, aroma of citrusy fruits, hops, taste of hops and citric acid, slightly bitter aftertaste. fairly smooth...i like it. Pailhead (2572), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Jan 5, 2005 Updated: Jan 6, 2005Bottle: Aroma is all citrus hops. Smells more like an IIPA than an IPA. Pours a hazy, borderline cloudy, reddish-orange with a white head that lasts a minute or so. Light caramel malt up front quickly overtaken by a big grapefruit hop finish. Overall a well balanced IPA but just a slight tad more malt wouldn’t hurt. Thanks wolhfs. SpringsLicker (2041), Tennessee, USA Dec 30, 2004 Thanks to Bück Dich for this one!
The head on this was large and sticky, white and lasted all the way.
Well balanced aroma of pine and citrus.
The aromas replayed again in the flavor, with the malt and hop bitterness going back and forth with the slight bitterness winning out overall. The body could have been a bit more solid to suit my liking, but this is a good everyday IPA. ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA Dec 19, 2004 flowery, piney, citrus nose; sweet, quick front with a grapejuice, hop-wallup that lingers forever and is a bit astringent; too unbalanced for my taste
