WakeandBake (422), Greenville, Michigan, USA Aug 11, 2009 Bottle.

Medium body , clean crisp mouthfeel , very drinkable , a quality IPA from GLB they never seem to disappoint . popephred (193), Plainfield, Illinois, USA Aug 9, 2009 Poured from the bottle. Pour produced a golden amber body with a large head of off-white foam with decent lacing. Aroma had strong floral and citrus notes, with moderate hops. Flavor was bitter (as expected), and the body was smooth and medium, with a slight sweet finish. This had a decent hops profile but certainly not on the level of an IPA. It’s a good ale, one that I would drink again. LtDan (471), LA - Originally from South NJ!, California, USA Aug 9, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear yet yeasty amber gold with a decent, 1/4 inch of dense off white foam.
Aroma: Light, equal amounts of citrus, grass, melon, and honey.
Taste: Sweet caramel malt and brown sugar notes to start it off. Citrus (lemon and orange) and melon and a very modest level of bitterness in the finish that is almost trumped by the malt bill. A bit of bitterness lingers, which I am grateful for, as this beer would otherwise be on the sweet side.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied. Border-lining on sticky.
Overall: Solid, can’t say anything bad about it. Might be better suited in the Pale Ale bucket rather than the IPA one. cooncat (1), USA does not count Aug 8, 2009 Well balanced IPA, with maltiness balanced by citrus hops, and a hint of a white pepper bite. Refreshing and very drinkable. italianjohn (338), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 4, 2009 Dark amber/light copper pour very little white head ... citrus aroma not overly hoppy more on the citrusy side. Has a nice dry hop and ends with a spicy tart flavor. kseecs16 (865), Naperville, Illinois, USA Jul 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours an orange amber with a creamy off-white head that leaves some spotty lacing.
