Jun 28, 2008 Big thanks to Eyedrinkale for bringing a few of these out. Orange golden beer with little head. Aroma is very hoppy. Loaded with pine and orange citrus. Bright and fresh and very tasty. Lean-bodied and dry with a nice chewy resiny spicy hoppiness. Sweet, rich and grapefruity. Delicious.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle shared by EDA at Joe’s. Lots of Christmasy hops in the aroma, light caramel malt. Powerful, out of balance bitter winter hops in the flavor. Very bitter and intense overall. This is one of those IPAs that to me sits precariously between IPA and IIPA... a bad place to be if you ask me. The hops are too much for a normal IPA, but would be fine for a IIPA but would need more malt to back them up.

Jun 26, 2008 Jeez thanks again EDA for another nice find! Mike really must have the best cellar of anyone i know. Pours a skunky hempy earhty aromatic character. A hazy amber body with a rocky head. Lots of skunk and hempy greens. Awesome IPA. How much different from the W.Coast IPA i dunno. Thanks Mike.

Jun 23, 2008 Damn Mike brought the thunder to Joe’s gathering. Aroma is light dry grapefruit, not bittered skins but more like the sweet pink center (but as mentioned dried). Taste is similar again not bitter, with some leafiness and a hint of tea hopiness. Medium body and easy to drink.

Jun 22, 2008 great name, great beer. aroma of pine and grass a bit woodsy but in a sweet way. pithy and refreshingly light in body. dry unlike the aroma and with a carbonation to stand up the the pungent well hoped ipa.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle: Orange pour with good clarity and a thin off-white head. Extremely piny aroma. Basically smells like their IPA. Orange citrus and fresh piny hops. Pretty light mouthfeel. Piny flavor- oily resins with a blood orange character. Hardly any malt detectable, with a long bitter finish. Just another "hop juice" IPA, with no subtleties. Quenches a hop craving.

Jun 21, 2008 12 oz bottle. Aroma is a beautiful fruitty peach and grassy hops. Flavor is close to the West Coast IPA, which I think is one of the best. Stinky hops are a mouthful of heaven. Bravo!
