beerbuzzmontreal (2909), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Aug 31, 2009 Clear golden pour with a thin white head. Pleasant aroma of coniferous, resinous hops. Interesting flavor of coniferous and resinous hops. The body is light and the carbonation is soft. Not bad, but forgettable. ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 31, 2009 Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. Notes of citrus, cardboard, and vinegar. Alcohol is obvious even though the beer is watery. Cavie (1318), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Aug 29, 2009 Bottle courtesy of thirdeye11. Light orange. Big hop response with a sour hop odor. Very hoppy with turns sour immediately. Not good, but oppressive. Not sure why I got such a different impression from others at the same tasting. Maybe it was the box of extreme warheads I shotgunned before coming in. Who knows BMan1113VR (2758), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Aug 28, 2009 Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. Pours with a hazy amber golden body and a white head. Aroma of herbal hops, papaya, and orange. Taste is caramel, a touch of alcohol, orange and a bit of spicy hops. Lightish bodied and low residual sugars. LtJudge (431), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Jul 1, 2009 Pours a golden yellow color with a small head. Great aromas of citrus and pinewith some malt backing. Fantastic piney hop flavor that is backed by citrus.A little thin on the body,but the flavor makes up for it. Sparky27 (1567), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jun 3, 2009 Bottle courtesy of cmr1517. Pours a hazy iced tea amber with a 2 finger dense off-white head that results in delicate lacing. The nose is ripe citrus and malt. The taste is caramel, ripe citrus and some tart grapefruit in the finish. Solid IPA – thanks Chris! JaBier (1130), Capital City, Ohio, USA Jun 1, 2009 Bottle shared by Dogbrick. Clear orange/copper color with a thin white head. Citrusy and spicy hop aroma (simcoe?) with a just a bit of malt. Flavor is about the same. Not bad. Dogbrick (2816), Columbus, Ohio, USA May 24, 2009 Pours a lightly cloudy copper-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Piney hops aroma with touches of grapefruit and malt. Medium body with moderately bitter hops, pine and malt flavors with citrus in the background. The finish is hoppy with a lingering bitterness. Straightforward and enjoyable IPA overall.
