mattmc1973 (105), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Jun 3, 2008 22oz bottle, pours clear orange/amber with a foamy, creamy off-white head that lasts and leaves some nice lacing. Aroma of pine, caramel malt, and citrus hops...very nice aroma. Taste was a bit sweet, citrusy, and hoppy. Not as hoppy as I expected, which I’m OK with, as I’m not a huge hop-head. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery, not as rich as I expected. Quenching, though. Overall, a very good IPA.
