Sep 4, 2009 Bottle courtesy of thirdeye11. Clear red orange pour. Big hops on the smell. Also a fair mix of sweet red scents. Smooth upfront with almost a coffee taste? Interesting. Almost no hop taste with the large aroma. Mainly malty and sour taste.

Sep 1, 2009 Draught at the NYS Wine and Culinary Center. Nice red-orange tinted amber with a fine head. Big cascade aroma, nice rounded caramel malt flavor. Very earthy, with big cascade flavor and a bit of chocolate. Very strong bitterness throughout, especially at the finish. A bit too highly carbonated, at least this time. Nice.

Sep 1, 2009 Dark and cloudy, with a good sized head. The aroma of pine and citrus from the hops hits you before the pour is finished. The bitterness comes on fast, but fades quickly, to a medium/heavy, sweet amber ale. Dryer than expected in the finish.

Sep 1, 2009 Bottle at Dayton Ale Fest. Pours a nice amber with a thin white head. Aroma is strong with hops, citrus, and sweet malts. Notes of grapefruit, pine, floral hops, and grass stand out. On the palate, it is a little chewy. The flavor is a little maltifer than I expected, bringing out a bit of carmel and biscuit aromas. It finishes nice and bitter. Overall, a pretty good beer, however maltier than an IPA should be.

Aug 30, 2009 Pours a hazy dark ruby red/copper color with a one finger frothy off-white head that slowly receeds into a lasting cap that coats the pint with soapy rings of lacing.
Hoppy piney floral aroma with a hint of rye and a nice caramel biscuity malt backbone.
Very bitter and hop forward with a strong resinous piney hop mouthfeel. Caramel malt backbone with some biscuit notes and a slight touch of rye. The strong bitterness of the hops lasts throughout lingering over the malt backbone into a resinous bone dry piney hop finish.
