Jul 7, 2009 12 oz bottle from Mike. Wow, what a hop bomb. Aroma and flavor are similar with an amazing amount of pine and grapefruity hops, yet supported by enough bready malt to keep it interesting. Too bad it’s a seasonal cuz I’d like to enjoy this year ’round!

Jul 7, 2009 draft @ redlight redlight. Nice citrusy nose, a lot of tangerine on the nose. Pours blonde with a solid white head. Solid hop flavors, citrus with a sticky pine in the end, light and refreshing. Man these guys do hoppy so well!

Jul 6, 2009 hazy golden colored pour with a soapy white head and ladder-like rings of lace.
the aroma and flavor are a bit sweet and pretty much simply described as ’lagunitas’. citrus pine and grass mix with some pale malt and spice. it might be sad to be able to pigeonhole a brewery like that if the final product wasn’t so damn tasty!
medium bodied, crisp, clean and refreshing. 8/3/7/4/16/3.8

Jul 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear orange with a small, fizzy, white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, cereal), heavy hops (citrus, pine, grass), average yeast (earth, sweat) with notes of orange peel. Medium bodied, gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Jul 6, 2009 Weak and thin head. Bland flavor for an IPA. I like this brewer, but this was a below average IPA.

Jul 5, 2009 Bottle compliments of Buckeyeboy: Clear gold with a nicely, sustained white head. The aroma is astounding - an overflowing basket of apricots and grapefruit that got stuck in your nostrils. It is soft and seductive, makes you want to keep sniffing until your lungs explode. The taste is equally delicious - all fruity and bitter hops. This is basically an all around AWESOME IPA that I would be happy to drink for the rest of my life.

Clear light orange amber with a nice thick sandy head. Exquisite citrusy hop aroma. this to me is the definition of west coast hoppiness. Simply devine. Flavor is also very nice. Classic hoppiness with out some of the iIBU "baggage" that throws me off sometimes when overdone.
Modest lingering bitterness. Pretty light malt backbone. This is a HOPS "vehicle’
that fortunately for us, made a stop at my place tonight.
