Bottle from BevMo!. I like this, but am having a hard time justifying a rating over 3.5 for this. Hard to detect any aroma. Pours a cloudy copper color with a persistant light beige head. Complex flavor with sweet malty taste and grapefruit, with a bitter hop aftertaste. Goes down smooth for an IPA. I’m not a big IPA fan, but liked this.

Oct 1, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange color with a medium off-white soapy head and leaves bubbly lacing. Aroma is citrus hops, some earthiness, and a small floral characteristic. Tastes unlike most IPAs. Taste is mostly floral, with a malt and spicy hop backbone.

Sep 22, 2008 A very good IPA, and a hard one to find Northeast these days. Drying full bittreness, smooth, orange citrus. Aroma of c-hop but also a tad musty in there. Better as airs out. Dry aftertaste, must be high IBU.Lace webbing remains.

Sep 18, 2008 On tap at 99 Bottles in Santa Cruz. Poured into a pint glass. Copper color with an off-white head that leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is of citrus fruit and hop resin. Flavors of clean grapefruit and pine. Toasty malt profile, but hops run the show here. Good balance, medium bitterness. Surprisingly tasty beer from a mediocre brewery. Dry lingering finish.

Sep 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep, cloudy brown with a 2 cm tan long standing head. Aroma is sweet for the most part, a little floral. Initial flavor of sweet malts. Flavor ends on spice and hops, and the hops carry on for a while. Medium body, limited lacing, light carbonation, and a hint of alcohol. Overall a well done beer, even the female roommate likes it.
