kmweaver (3045) - Santa Rosa, USA - OCT 15, 2008
Draft @ Great Basin. Pours a bright, clear golden-orange color; off-white head with creamy fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of soft orange and citrus bitterness; reserved at first, but with a very nice orange Jell-O like note at the core. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy orange hoppiness and basic candy sugar at the core, but predominantly orange hoppiness: solid, resiny, bitter, and juicy; very minimal astringency. Tasty IPA. Medium finish: orange bitterness and a sugary malt sweetness; ends dry.

phaleslu (3544) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - MAY 12, 2012
Draft at Burger Bar. Pours a slightly clouded gold with a small cream white head. Light aroma- citrus, straw, sweet malts and some grassy hops. Flavor improves on that, with citrusy hops, tropical fruits, sweet malts, and resin. Light-medium bodied, with a resinous mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Good IPAD for a hot day.

Dark gold pour with a medium head. Aroma of caramel and pine. Biscuity malt and caramel flavour, light piney hop. Inoffensive overall. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

BOLTZ7555 (2017) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - MAR 4, 2012
Sampled at Burger Bar, LV. Dark copper penny pour with a whispy white head that left a spot or two inside the glass. Not a lot of hoppiness here. Instead, I’m find toffee, caramel, brown sugar, and even a hint of vanilla. Not a good representation of the style but still enjoyed it.

hayduke (2534) - Eureka, California, USA - DEC 31, 2011
From a 12 oz bottle, the poured a clear amber color with a nice white head and good lacing rings. Nose of citrus and floral hops, on caramel malts. Medium in body and smooth in moutthfeel. Flavor is full of both floral and citrus hops and the finish is dry and softly bitter. Very flavorful and easy drinking IPA..

douglas88 (3686) - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - DEC 4, 2011
12 ounce bottle thanks to Dallas. Pours a clear copper color with a small white head. A sweet nose of biscuit and honey. A light flavor with pungent ripe fruits, dry apples, metal, biscuit. Not very good, comes across as closer to a Pale Lager than a IPA. Drinkable, some bitterness in the finish which is more oxidation and metal.

12 oz bottle
There was earthy, malty, toffee, caramel, nutty notes, I feel this was a bit oxidized and that really detracted form the overall experience with this beer.

Smells alright, could use more hops. Surprisingly not all that hoppy in flavor either. Seems more like a pale. A bit creamy. Good not great.

ApisAles (1228) - Greenbelt, Maryland, USA - JUL 1, 2011
On tap. Bright light orange pour with a thin white head. Aroma is biscuity malt and light hops. Flavor is light citrus. A bit high on the bitter side. Not bad but a little unbalanced.
