allfreej (358), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jun 27, 2008 Bottled. Poured gold, with a dense, off-white head. The beer had a clean, floral nose, with grapefruite tones. The flavor was grapefruit, sweet malt, and a bit of floral hops. The finish was a nice amount of hop bitterness without being harsh. The alcohol content really didn’t come through in the finish. A very clean tasting, refreshing IPA. Beerman6686 (1263), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 26, 2008 Pours a nice orange color with a small off white head. Aroma is of a lot of citrusy hops. Flavor is much the same, very bitter with a nice earthy pine flavor as well. railcat1 (578), Orlando, Florida, USA Jun 25, 2008 This was a good IPA that poured a orange/amber color with a nice citrus flavor and aroma that had a nice small head to it overall not bad and easy to drink.CHEERS! NachlamSie (1630), Tennessee, USA Jun 24, 2008 Bottle best before July 13, 2008. Pours a fairly clear dark gold with a small white head. Aroma sports some tasty grapefruit, melon, pine needles, though it is a bit milder than I’d like. I’d say the hops are more assertive in the flavor. This is rather dry and crisp with plenty of resinous quality. A sting of pine hits my palate, then pineapple/melon sweetness with hints of tea. This is a pretty competent IPA. Given the price and the fact that there is at least a date stamp on the bottles, I’d buy this again. 502Flavors (617), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jun 22, 2008 12 oz bottle into pint glass. Pours an honey brown with an orange hue and a big fluffy white head that holds well and leaves great lacing. Nice gentle carbonation. Hop aroma is mostly citrus with some floral notes. Some sweet light malt aroma lies behind hops. Very flavorful hops body without a super intense bite. The flavor is less citrusy and floral and more piney. It is soft and medium bodied on the palate with perfect amount of carbonation. Overall: good and refreshing hop aroma and flavor. Odyn (205), New York, USA Jun 18, 2008 Good IPA that is sharp and spicy on the tongue. Finishes mostly clean, with lingering hints of malt and floral to balance it out. Not one of my favorite styles, but this is a good representation. islay (470), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Jun 16, 2008 Approximately 4 oz. pour, on tap at the brewpub in Ohio City on 6-13-08. Pours a clear, light amber with a small amount of beige head. Light, floral, hoppy aroma. Buttery, very sweet, floral taste. Really tasty, double IPA-like flavors. Medium to full body. Sharpness on the tongue. This is a good beer, better than my score may indicate. sleepylopes (313), New York, USA Jun 14, 2008 big hop nose which you gotta love. the hops hit you on the pallate and give way from bitter to citric floral goodness. decent bit of malt to soupport such a well hopped ipa. crisp and drinkable, as long as they are kept fairly cold.
