Oct 27, 2008 Brewed in the USA !!! (KSBF) Pours a amber / copper color with a dissipating white head. The aroma is very hoppy with a hint of spices. The taste is full of hops and grapefruit. The mouthfeel is kind of dry, but very enjoyable. :)

Oct 27, 2008 My first impression of this beer was the toffee in the nose. Second was the fresh cascade hop in the nose. Then the beautiful clear ruby red color. The off white head stays and is persistant, with nice lace. IN the aroma is a little hop spice but not peppery, caramel, some toasted malts, and of coarse citrus. THe flavor is the same. Mouthfeel is smooth and a dry finish.

Oct 17, 2008 Bottle via sampler pack. Woudn’t call it monstrously hoppy. Nose has a decent ammnt of resinous hops but not overwhelming. Pours a deeper brown /amber with a tight light tan head. Steady carbonation. Body is powerful upfront but wanes in the center and hops out for finish. Alcohol peeks out from the sweet malty body. Not a hop bomb but more of a hop pipe bomb.

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle from the Foodery in Philadelphia. Clear deep copper under a short dusky tan head. Strong grapefruit and pine resin aroma. Big caramel body with plenty of bright grapefruit and orange zest hops. Shades of vanilla and toffee as well. Silky texture and a nice, dry and mildly bitter finish. A well-balanced IPA that can stand up to a few of the West Coast hop bombs (just for a round or two but that says something).

Oct 10, 2008 KSBF 08 - Amber/copper color. Bold and assertive on the nose and palate…just what an IPA is supposed to be. Tons of cascade hop flavor and caramel malt. Yummy grapefruit. It is what I thought it was!

Oct 8, 2008 12 oz bottle thanks to FlacoAlto. Lots of carmel and hop aromas. Citrus and mango too. Flavors were toned down a bit like a finely aged IPA. Good Stuff.
