12 oz bottle from a beer club shipment. Outstanding head with a smooth sheen of lacing atop a slightly murky copper color. Really huge aroma of grain, caramel, piney hops. Tasting notes say that there are only Amarillo hops in this, and the one hop profile really stands out. Harmon brewing here in Tacoma, Washington has been showcasing some "One-Hop Wonders" for a while, and the results, like this one, are fascinating. Really sticky sweet hop bite, tinged with citrus on the back of the tongue. Very nice!

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.

Apr 22, 2008 Beer of the Month Club: Served at cellar temperature. Poured from the bottle into a standard pint glass. Pour yielded a clear, copper-brown body with a medium off-white head. Good hop nose, without being overbearing. Big body with slight sweetness, quickly giving way to the warmth of the alcohol and a strong woody bitterness. I like the flavor of this IPA, it has a number of level, which make for a complex tasting experience. This is the second style that I have sampled from Lake Placid and overall have been generally impressed. Nice IPA.

Apr 18, 2008 Mmm... a tasty IPA! Exactly what I think an IPA should be. Bold and bitter, with a fruity citrusy, piney punch. Deep orange amber in color with a frothy white head. Thick and syrupy, especially so considering the ABV.

Apr 12, 2008 Dark copper color......slightly hazy. Fluffy white head. Mellow floral aroma......not overpowering. Very balanced front, yet still there is a noticeable hop flavor......extremely smooth mouthfeel for an IPA. Tangy hop taste in the back with a long bitter finish. This beer is very complex and seems to have qualities of many different styles.
