May 27, 2008 1 pt .9 fluid oz. bottle: Clear copper pour with little head left after a few minutes. Hops from start to finish, the nose is robust with rosey perfume, candied oranges and rindy grapefruit. A little bit of time opens up the caramel and toffee malts, which do a substantial job of balancing the hoppiness. Bitter is the best way to describe the body, chinook city would be another. After the initial feeling of taking a bite out of an under ripened grapefruit skin subsides, I notice a lot of orange and peach hoppiness and a nice amount of sweet malt as well. A nice IPA, but the bitterness is through the roof. Tame it back and this would be a solid IPA. Of course, I think you could score a sixer of Alpha King or Green Flash IPA for about the same price as this one bottle and be just as happy.

May 21, 2008 Murky orange color. A lot of bitter grapefruit and piney hops up front with some caramel maltiness in the middle then bitter, dry and hoppy in the finish. Nice amount of hops but also quite a bit of malts to make this IPA well balanced. It’s expensive but also quite good.

May 19, 2008 Bottle from Julio’s Liqour in Mass. Pours with an orange-amber body topped by a thin to medium thick, quickly disappearing head with some lacing. It’s sweet and malty with lots of grapefruity and piney hop notes as well as a peachy fruity note. Medium bodied, smooth and slightly warming down deep.

May 17, 2008 Copper colored with light orange head. A lot of bitterness dominates the impression, but it misses something more...
