UPDATED: APR 6, 2013 32oz growler, filled less than a week ago. Mostly clear orange-amber color. Minimal white head around the edge, but it leaves decent lace. Toasty, bready malt aroma up front, not much caramel though. Tastes like there’s a touch of rye in there, hint of toffee. Biscuity malt, yes. Earthy hop, light spruce, herbal.. Medium-plus body. Good lighter carbonation, pretty crisp. Nice moderate bitter taste, light sweet. I liked this one, solid, interesting IPA

On tap at the brewery, it pours a deep amber into the glass with a 3-finger eggshell head that retains, leaving slathering lace. The nose is piney and dank. Flavors are very interesting, with caramel, lots of All-Spice, toasted biscuit malt and generous hopping. Well-balanced and active on the palate, this is a unique take on the IPA and is appreciated. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Awesomely hopped and ballanced beer. Has great body and laces the glass all the way down. Love the citrus like flavor.
