Apr 19, 2008 Bottle pours a darker gold color with a thin tan head. Head dissipates quickly. Has a nice hop aroma to it that smells like subtle pine. A hint of sweetness is apparent also. Has a light mouthfeel that leads to a good sweet caramel like taste upfront with a citrus finish. Nice brew.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle courtesy of fiver29. Pours a crystal clear dark golden color with a two finger head that disappeared quickly. Nose is pretty mild. Malt with some pine and citrus. Palate is mild also with some malt and a slightly bitter resin aftertaste. Best by date is 5/25/08, so maybe some of the hop bite has left. An ok brew that I’m grateful for the chance to try – thanks John!

Apr 15, 2008 Pours golden, with a nice light head that lasts for most of the beer. Aroma is piney cascade hops. Flavor is of fresh hops and a thin malt. A very good craft beer, but just nothing I’m too excited with. Of course I rated it right after Bells Hopslam, so probably not a good way to do it. Worth a purchase thought to be sure.

Mar 25, 2008 On tap at the Bag of Nails, Delaware, Ohio. Nice looking amber beer, ample head and a fairly lively carbonation. There’s a crisp floral nose to this one - not much spice or citrus, but it’s appealing nonetheless. It drinks like more of a highly hopped amber to me, with big chewy malts dominating the mouthfeel and the flavor. All in all, nice and enjoyable.

Mar 5, 2008 A nice IPA with a different flavor than some other IPAs. It isnt as strong as some other beers in the same category, but overall very enjoyable and a nice introduction to the category.
