Had this with Amanda on our way home from Cali when we stopped in Peoria Illinois. Nose of heavy spice and citrus. The brew is copper. The mostly diminishing white frothy head leaves fair lace. Wow! They are not fucking around with this one. Almost like a double IPA. Heavy duty boys here. The bitter front has a heavy acidic middle. The finish is spicy and bitter. The medium dry body is dry and very lively, the finish is very astringent.

Aug 15, 2008 Sampled on draught, pours a clear orange/copper colour with a decent head and noticeable resinous lacing. Mildly hoppy, earty and astringent. Carries a soft floral hop aroma. Finishes clean and refreshing.

Aug 10, 2008 Had on tap at Granite City in Orland Park. Pours dark copper with light off-white head. Aroma os floral hops, citurs and pine. Flavor is hops and citrus with pine and malt. Brew is a little watery but refreshing and drinkability is good with low abv. Would be brew of choice if I were to go back.

Jul 31, 2008 Draught from Granite City in East Peoria, IL. Too dark to see color, but it was served draught with a nice head. Strong hop aroma and a perfect blend of hops and grapefruit in the mouth. My first IPA where I could really pick out the grapefruit aroma and flavor. I’ll bump up the overall score for that.
