Jul 27, 2006 22 oz bomber Nose of hops, but not as much as the Hopsicle (My favorite IPA); hazy amber-gold with a small white head; flavor malty hops with some citrus notes, and a nice, hoppy finish. Underrated IPA!

Pours a murky and slightly unattractive shade of yellow brown with a whipped egg-white head. The aroma is a huge (but inviting) resinous blast of pine forest cut with plentiful green apple. The flavor is deeply bitter right from the get-go, strong aggressive bitter hops in high density more or less overwhelming the malt backbone. The bitterness hits early in the flavor profile and sticks around long; one complaint is that on the long end the bitterness seems to go toward soapy.
This beer is absolutely loaded with hop flavor, and I’m impressed by that. The pieces don’t all fall together in perfection, but this is both an interesting IPA and a darn nice IPA nonetheless.

Jul 13, 2006 Updated: Dec 24, 2006Poured a nice cloudy gold color with big, long-lasting slightly off-white head that left medium lacing. Big nose of malts and hops, with distinct citrus overtones. Flavor is much the same as the nose except there is a more spicy aspect. Really clean mouthfeel and decent finish. Good balance, and overall a quality IPA.

Jun 21, 2006 Well, it sure looks purdy (cloudy straw color with substantial, foamy head) - kind of a light aroma of dandilions and grapefruit - a little bit of sweetness up front, followed by a very bitter citrus taste, giving the beers overall taste experience like that of eating a grapefruit with sugar sprinkled on it - weak in the finish - not all that great.

Jun 21, 2006 A fairly mild IPA, in fact, it could simply be called a pale ale instead. Very frothy, big-bubbled head over a cloudy orange body. Much too carbonated for me taste, really. It bursts in your mouth and kind of takes away from the whole enjoyment. The body is a tad too thin and watery in the finish as well, but its OK for such a warm evening as this. Strangely creamy for an IPA as well. Pleasantly balanced hop types, gently malted.

Jun 17, 2006 A good IPA. It’s not up to Hopsickle standards, but this was $2.99 a bomber at BevMo and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Obviously, these folks make some much better ales, but I have no regrets on slugging this one down. I’ll continue to buy it at this price. Best Of Show in the "Under $3" category.
