Commercial Description:
This amber colored beer is creamy and delectable, probably our best India Pale Ale yet. Hops, hops and more hops will satisfy even the most extreme hop head.

Sampled on draught @ Kuhnhenn Brewing Company in Warren, Michigan. Amber color. Fantastic hop aromatics, piney and resiny with ruby red grapefruit, along with the malt, which smells sugary and sweet, caramel and honey laden. Big, bodacious, sugary caramel and toffee malt coating with a truly enjoyable onslaught of hop flavors. More piney and sprucey flavors than anything else, like taking a bite out of a jungle in Honduras. A wonderful IPA. Oh If I lived by Kuhnhenn this would surely be my growler of choice.

8/24/05 Re-rate: Special release at GTM. Cask version. Fresh hop, floral aroma that is slightly off (7). Dark orange in color, thick, with some floaties. Not a very nice head. Large bubble, frothy (cask-like) (4). Very nice flavor; for a cask it is very flavorful. A little tart with good hoppy mouthfeel (8). Palate (5). Overall (16). Ratings are very similar to my original, bottle version rating. 6/6/2005: Wow! I could smell the floral hoppiness of this brew before I even put my nose up to the glass. Some pine. Lovely. Murky amber in color; avg. sized off-white head. Mostly dimishing. Excellent lace. Initial mouthfeel is excellent. Piney spruce. Well balanced with sweetness. A really nice IPA. Eric Kuhnhenn clearly knows what he is doing. Gets a little thinner when it warms, but still very good.

Nice IPA. Not my favorite IPA, but very fun and drinkable. I like my hops to come out and smack me in the face. This one was a little softer than most. Overall a nice IPA

Tap. Medium amber in color. Nice white head leaves great lacing. Huge "C" hop aroma. Well balanced. Very citric and piney flavors. Long lasting hop finish. Very well done.

Clear amber with a small, off-white head that fades. The aroma is apricots, oranges and tangerines. The flavor is juicy hops, grapefruit, orange, apricot and caramel. Medium body with lively carbonation and a bitter end.

Cloudy amber color with a medium white head. Aroma is thick and citrusy with a nice helping of caramel malts. Flavor is heavy with citrusy and piney hops, plus some sweet malts. Really good all-around IPA

Poured a deep golden amber. Had this on tap at the brewery. Smelled of citrus, pine, tropical fruit and intense hops. Flavor was tropical fruits, piney hop smack, citrus. Everything came together quite well. Very refreshing. I really enjoyed this beer.

12 oz shaker at kuhnhenn. copper with a white head and nice lace. huge citru hops nose. flavour of hop juice with just enough malt to notice. the malt just barely hangs on the somewhat balance this hop bomb. very nice pint.
