Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium off-white head that left light lacing. Aroma of caramel, citrus, resin and some grapefruit. Flavor was sweet and malty with creamy caramel, honey , citrus, pine, and had some floral notes with a bitter dry finish.

A very nice dark ruby color with half a finger of cream colored head. Smells of slightly funky floral, pine, orange. A fairly decent hop bite on first taste with a burst of the floral and a caramel like sweet with some citrus/pine and a malty backbone. A little more of the floral notes than I care for but overall a decent brew. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: MAR 28, 2013 Toasty and roasty malts, subtlely smoky, with grapefruit, and dry orange aromas. Clear ruby-bronze with moderately lasting, rocky, beige head foam. Dry, bitter, and with a nice touch of sweetness for balance. Medium bodied with average carbonation, and finishes with dry citrus fruit and caramel flavors lingering.

January 2013 bottle to pint glass. Pours an amber color like iced tea with a foamy tan head that settles into a creamy dollop. Aroma is perfect blend of floral hops, rich malt an citrus with the hops only barely dominate. Big hops flavor is immediately apparent but it settles into a rich almost creamy malt taste quickly and the bite of bitterness only comes at the end and lingers briefly. A slight spiciness comes out while drinking, as well as a little sweetness from the honey. A full mouthfeel that is surprisingly thick for an imp IPA. Definitely an IPA but the malts give it a mellow, rich quality that make it enjoyable for someone like me that is not a huge hop head. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

good deep amber brew almost orange with low aroma and good flavors of pine and them fresh malt and broomstraw. long finish of caramel malt and pine that is like pinesol at the end. layered taste and like wise head on the sides of glass.

Pours a hazy copper with a small head and decent lacing. Strong grapefruit aroma with some clove and honeyed biscuit smell. Sweet honey flavor with grapefruit pith taste and bitterness. A bit of booze flavor and warmth. Full smooth mouthfeel with moderate carbonation that finishes semi dry. The malt bill does balance it fairly well and I was surprised how thick it was for an IPA. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Grapefruity aroma. For being 10% easy and very tastey to drink. A little sweet to offset the hops which i like. Complex flavors, smooth finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks zvikar. Pours murky amber wih white ring. Sweet, honey cake, warm spices aroma, tastes sweetish and spicy. full body, smooth texture, sweet finish.

Pours a dark, hazy, opaque amber with a thin, tan head that stays. Excellent lacing. Subtle, balanced aroma suggesting a greater malt presence than is typical for the style. Light, gentle but thick mouthfeel. Taste is strongly sour rather than bitter, but not unpleasantly so. Inviting finish. Interesting beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for the Daystrom M-5

Bottle shared at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Murky amber. Aroma of stale hops, cookies and caramel. Sweetish malty flavor with caramel, a bit of honey and stale hops bitterness. Medium-bodied. Too old.
