May 7, 2008 Bottle: Amber pour with a slightly fizzy tan head. Earthy hop nose. Slightly sweet with some bready malt back notes. Decent texture, although it leans towards watery. The flavor has some toasted caramel notes along with a flowery character. Starts on the sweeter side- also slightly buttery; then it’s followed by a late/abrupt bitterness in the finish. Not very balanced, also homogeneous.

May 4, 2008 Pours amber into a shaker. Fluffy off-white head recedes to skim surface. Slight resin and pine aromas. Thin with english hops from front to back. Not a hop bomb.

May 3, 2008 Dark orange color, thin head. Pine forest aroma. Resiny palate, chewy, bitter, hits you right away with the hoppiness. Classic IPA.

May 1, 2008 On tap at Blind Tiger in NYC. Pours golden with a off-white head. The aroma has citric and tropical hops and small amount of malt. Medium body with normal carbonation for the style. The flavor has aroma traits, but mixes in some soapiness. Overall this is a pretty generic IPA that is just okay.

Apr 28, 2008 A fair IPA from Magic Hat. It’s actually quite good but since the IPA market is so packed with many far better examples, even a brew that is generally good is relatively not so good.
