May 4, 2007 Updated: Aug 20, 2007My Bottom Line:
Pine resins, plush oranges and peachy caramel achieve lip-licking balance in this gorgeous pint of healthily unfiltered coniferous American-style IPA.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-Foam towers above the muddy fiery orange red.
-The frothy carbonation lifts the well-extracted maltiness.
-This is very drinkable, very flavorful but never aggressive.
-Bready yeast accompanies the peppery pine needles in the back.
-Caramel builds into toffee once the beer ages a bit, as hops take a step back. This is still a mighty fine IPA after a year.

Apr 29, 2007 Bottle shared at DLD while waiting in line in front of some generous Danes - Pours amber with a fair tan head. Aroma of floral and pine over some caramel malts. Flavor included much pine a little grapefruit, caramel, and some spice. Good light palate with ample carbonation. Quite tasty...

Apr 27, 2007 Thanks to thewolf for this one. Drank in a tulip. Thick brown hazy /murky poor with a nice foamy light brown head. Aromas of ginger, caramel, very hoppy, floral, pine... lots of spices... Creamy thick, long lasting bitterness, peppery with a nice dry finish. Full bodied, nicely carbonated. Flavors are preaty much the same... almost fuller. This beers character reminds me a little of an Orval. I love it!

Apr 17, 2007 Expecting more from this beer! Way too carbonated... hazy amber, massive head - typical US ’C’ hop aromas - good, but no cigar! but 3.5 isn’t bad!

Apr 10, 2007 skortila poured a very cloudy wannabe-orange beige color with a big frothy off-white head. Cloudy strokes of yeast swirled down to the bottom of the glass, a Dutch sky was nothing compared to this view. Aroma of cascade hop, slightly fruity and yeasty (what a surprise). Very soft, fruity and bit yeasty taste, but not very bitter as most other IPAs I’ve had. Soft bitter palate. Nice balance. I like this one very much!

Apr 10, 2007 Aroma is floral, hoppy and fruity. Cloudy, brown-orange coloured with an off-white, medium head. Taste is just moderate bitter, yeasty, sweet and fruity (grapefruits). Very smooth palate for the style. Enjoyable.
