Bottle. Light golden colour. No head. Light grape fruit aroma. Low hop flavor and bitterness for this beer style. Kind of thin in all aspects.

smith4498 (2150) - Miami, Florida, USA - OCT 7, 2008
Pours clear dark golden color with white head. Floral hop aroma. Mild hop bitterness balanced well with sweet maltiness. Medium body with average carbonation. Nothing really stands out.

GMCC2181 (1251) - Newark, Delaware, USA - OCT 7, 2008
Bottle. Light orange in color, decent head and lacing. Average aroma of light hops. Taste was spicy hops... A little floral and grassy too. It was served a little too cold so the carbonation level seem a little high, but overall a decent ipa.

jmm635 (613) - Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 5, 2008
Golden color with a small white head. Aromas of floral hops and grass. Strong hoppy flavor with a crisp finish. I would drink it again, but I don’t have to.

KnutAlbert (4377) - Oslo, NORWAY - OCT 3, 2008
Bottle from a NYC deli. Resin aroma, resin flavour. But there is a fine body undernetath. It opens up into a more complex beer. Dusty hops, summer flowers, very refreshing.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Caramel malt aroma with some hops. Flavor is very similar, sweet caramel malt and subdued hops. Not bad.

A pretty good IPA.... thats all I really have to say. I wouldn’t be upset to drink this again nor would I make it a necessity to.

Dmalone102 (223) - Denver, Colorado, USA - SEP 25, 2008
Had in a bottle while in Jersey, although I believe it was purchased in PA. Good clarity, very light orange color with very little head. Floral hops in taste and aroma, pretty light in body. Easy to drink. Good IPA, although not remarkable.
