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

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%

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.

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.
