MatSciGuy (629), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA Apr 23, 2008 [bottle] shared by skyview. Poured a dark gold with a large off white head that lasts. Aroma is floral hops with some grapefruit character. Very bitter, dry finish. OSLO (825), Perth, Australia Apr 18, 2008 [Bottle, thanks Skyview!] Pours hazy orange with an off-white head. Aroma is big on fruity tropical smelling hops--mainly pineapple. There is pineapple in the taste as well, but also citrus and a light bitterness. Medium mouthfeel and smooth. Lingering bitterness in the finish. A solid IPA. BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Apr 18, 2008 Many thanks to skyview for sharing. Massive grapefruit aroma wafts from a huge rocky head. Light orange color. Bitter citrus hop flavor. badgerben (3586), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Apr 18, 2008 Thanks to Skyview! Copper color with a large head. Very citrusy hop aroma. Plenty of bitter and acidic hop flavor. Lots of citrus and orange. Smooth finish. Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Apr 17, 2008 Poured from a 22 oz. bottle; deep transparent amber. Grapefruit, biscuit, caramel, brown sugar aroma; no astringency over top heavy sweetness, just a pleasant balance of bitter fruit acidity and syrupy malt. Flavors are spicy and bitter; sharp pineapple and smooth green spices, mandarin orange, citrus rinds, honeydew. Forceful bitterness, not pushy. Some black tea, grass and jasmine tea in the somewhat vegetally bitter mid palate. Crispy, thin to medium bodied mouthfeel. Dry, semisweet finish with fresh grass, and dry malt, giving way to wild honey in a long finish. Pleasant, highly drinkable rendition; very clean, relaxed and comfortable. Thanks for sharing, Bob! blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Apr 16, 2008 22 0z. bottle, large head that recedes to soap, a little too piney and medicinal for me, but good overall Dough77 (771), Aurora, Illinois, USA Apr 11, 2008 Nice drinking IPA. Bitter from a good citrusy hop, some maltiness backbone but its not overly potent. Very drinkable. gator2683 (133), Anchorage, Alaska, USA Apr 11, 2008 aroma is citrus and a little pine. not extremely hoppy, steady bitterness. not a fan of ipas but this is one of the better ones i have tried
