12 oz bottle. Poured copper with thin white head on presentation. Decent malty backbone with a citrus finish. Meh, nothing special.

Pours orangey-copper amber with an eggshell head that lasts a bit before giving way to lingering carbonation. Tastes of mild citrus, spruce and soap. Dry, but loses 0.2 points for a slightly weird aftertaste. Almost closer to an APA than IPA. Christmas 2007; Cleveland Ohio.

12oz. bottle poured into a glass. very thin head as im pouring right now. has a redish amber appearance. smells kinda exotic, very faint fruity smell. upon the taste it is quite fruity flavored but not over powered. its kinda dry after taste. very deliscious overall. this is one of the few Great lakes i havent tried(untill right now). would recommend this definatly. but in only 20 so what do i know ;)

12oz bottle from my Secret Santa. Light citrus, cut grass and some sweeter toffee malt on the nose. Restrained mango and apricot notes as well. Pours light copper with a thin but creamy white head. Dry on the palate with some earthy bitterness. Tempered citrus notes on the sides of the tongue. Medium bodied but creamy. Finishes with a lingering light bitterness.

Hops are very muted here. Was expecting a little more character. Clear golden caramel color. Faint resiny, piney aroma. Flavor is bitter on the back end and light bodied. Not a lot going on for me with this one. Glad I had a chance to try it though.

Light copper, clear. Small off-white head. Pleasant citrusy, flowery aroma. Hoppy, bitter flavor. Light on the malt but enough to keep the hops in check. Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeety good.

Bottle from the First Houston Tasting
Pours a lively gold with an aroma of faint pancake syrup. Flavor is hops lite, with a sublte hint of grapefruit, pine, and orange. Average mouthfeel. Great APA, emphasis on the first A in APA.

Bottle at Hop Leaf, Chicago
Light amber color. The aroma is a bit eggy, but it has a nice malt and caramel flavor, crispy, with a good hopping. Very good.
