Beerded_one (1570), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 6, 2008 Sampled at 08 vt brewers fest. Pours a dark copper color with an off-white head. Aroma is piney with floral hops and some light citrus. Flavor is fruity with caramel, citrus and piney hops with a medium body and a semi dry finish. a decent ipa Haslinger (511), Syracuse, New York, USA Jul 28, 2008 on tap at the Lake Placid booth at the Empire BrewFest in Syracuse. Very piney hoppy aroma. Solid smelling, this smelled like a real IPA. The taste is a little less hoppy but still delicious. It got kind of dry toward the end I thought it was much higher ABV than 5% brentfeesh (896), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Jul 28, 2008 12oz bottle thanks to Secret Santa. Probably due to transit, but the brew poured a bit chunky (amber). Light citrus aroma (lemon) with a bit of grass and touch of sweet. Nice malt base in the flavor that lends it a bit of sweetness (caramel). Marshmallow came to mind at one point. The spice hops are dominant though with a touch of earthiness. Full bodied with a semi-dry finish. Fair for an English styled IPA. FROTHINGSLOSH (1465), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 13, 2008 This one came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright ruby-copper color with a small yellow-white head. The aroma was strong piney and fruity hops. The flavor was sweet, tart and lightly fruity with a mildly fruity and piney hop presence. The beer turned a bit dry towards the finish and the finish was long and tart. Nicely drinkable but nothing to seek out.

Definitely get the pine everyone else does.
