grimreeser (795), Minnesota, USA Aug 21, 2008 Pours a nice orange amber with a good sized head. Solid hop aroma, good bitterness. Solid IPA. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Aug 20, 2008 A great tasting brew shared on several occasions with BrotherBrando. Pours a hazey lazy orange colour, vibrant and deep with a full white floraly hopped head. Aroma is very pleasent, straight to the flow- up in your nose enticing you with a mixture of tropical fruit and fresh hops plopping off the vine. Taste is full on the palate, full of astringent hop character, soft pine and grapefruit. Thanks pal :) PolakPorter (82), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 15, 2008 Nice and hoppy. Not the most unique brew. It tends to blend into the crowd of great American IPAs. Still, it’s tasty with a great hopbite that queefs bitterness round the nether-regions of the tongue. Good brew to be sure, though I enjoyed the Burning River a tad bit more. Forsurely worthy of a tryington. Jah. HighlanderOne (538), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA Aug 9, 2008 Poured from bottle 8/2008. Orange/amber, thin white head. Hops in aroma, but not as dominant as I would have thought. Not to worry - flavor is loaded with hops. Excellent blend with spice and floral notes galore. Malt gives a creamy feel. Nice finish. Another impressive IPA made in the USA. beerchugger (286), Colorado, USA Aug 9, 2008 A sample on tap at the brewery. It pours a nice golden color and the head laces the glass nicely. This beer is nicely hoppy and the taste lingers. The flavor is balanced well and this is one of the better IPAs I’ve had. Arnie (272), Chicagoland, IL, Illinois, USA Jul 28, 2008 On tap in a sampler at GLB in Cleveland. A darker golden than the Burning River, a bit more medicine-y nose and stronger hops as well. White head clings thickly to the glass. PorterPounder (3133), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jul 27, 2008 Cleveland, Oh. -on tap at the brewpub. Has a fresh floral and light spruce aroma - quite clean and refreshing. Light, off white, but spongy head on a dark orangish pour. Pleasant, thick mouthfeel. Tart, grapefruity citrusy hoppy flavor. Malt makes a quick presence in the form of a little bit of back end nutty flavor - but overall the flavor leans more to the hoppy end. Not overbearing, but wakes your tastebuds up nonetheless. Good solid brewpub IPA. GMCC2181 (848), Bear, Delaware, USA Jul 22, 2008 Bottle from stfun, thanks Josh! Golden yellow in color. Good lacing. Perfume fragrence of grapefruit and hops. Taste is the same, strong acid bitterness. I wish it was a little more balanced... Meduim texture, still easy to drink. Not bad or good just an ok IPA. Thanks josh.
