Nice thick taupe head. Pretty and deep amber color. Flowery and fruity nose. Aroma hints that there will be malts. Not too much hops in the taste but enough. Kinda strange for an IPA, but definitely something damn tasty. Great aftertaste which is something I typically find IPAs to lack. Bit tart. Slightly fruity. Badass little beer.

Bottle. Pours orange/red with a sticky off white head. Aroma is initially floral hops with some sweet citrus fruits lying underneath and a light caramel note. Medium body. Flavor starts with mostly sweet orange and lightly sweet caramel before moving to a more grassy and bitter finish. Very nice, an interesting take on the style

Bottle. Pours a shining copper body with a ridiculously massive white head and lasting lace. The aroma has some pear skins, light apricot, and followed by some citrusy hops and sweet malt. The flavour is piney and "green", it’s not overly hoppy so the caramel sweetness makes quick work to achieve balance. This stuff is pretty solid and drinkable.

12 ounce bottle from Beers of the World, Rochester NY (June 2007). Sampled at cellar temperature from a Unibroue glass. It pours out a faintly cloudy dark copper-bronze with an immense lasting creamy buff head that leaves thick chunks of lacing….mild citrusy hops struggle against a bit of butterscotch, and succeed overall; some nice toasty, woody notes help as well ….a bit syrupy and dull/flat in the body, despite decent carbonation ….bitter throughout, but not dynamic in any way, moderate sweetness in the middle, bit of honey and maple….dry and dull, slightly chalky to finish....rather mediocre IPA but drinkable enough and certainly containing no major flaws.
