How come I’ve never seen this around Pgh before today? On tap at Fatheads, $8 for a draft. Pretty much looks like a ubiquitous pale lager except that it has a decent head. Yep, smells like a good IPA, floral and piney. Big bitter initial flavor roto-tilling that borders on IIPA territory. OOOH-WEEE. Bitter lasting linger which reminds me of chewing on green grapefruit rinds. Terrible nasty and offnesive, right on style. Soapy mouthcoating bitter medicine finish which ruins my taste buds for a half hour.

Nov 27, 2008 Moderately hoppy IPA that is pretty much typical in every way of the style. Pleasant and unobtrusive flavors of grapefruit and pine and a pleasant nose. More of an east coast style IPA than your typical Western Hop Bomb.

Nov 21, 2008 Lovely, lovely bitterness. Hazy orange pour with a small, evanescent head. Moderate lacing. Great grapefruit and pine nose. Taste comes on with an eye-opening punch of bitter flavor, followed by a caressing mouthfeel. Finish is bright and brassy.

Nov 1, 2008 Grapefruit citrusy aroma, along with the pour. A light lemon grapefruit color. Almost clear. Hits of pine malt with a kick of citrus hops at the end.

Oct 26, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bev4less. Pours a slightly cloudy copper color with a big off-white head that has good retention and plenty of lacing. The aroma is citrus and pine with a bit of vanilla. The flavor is biter hops forward with malty dough and apricots. The mouthfeel is full and smooth with a good malt backbone. The finish is medium in duration, semi-sweet rock candy with lingering biter hops. Overall: A very interesting IPA, much better than the ratings suggest. Recommended try.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle. Clear, golden pour with a medium size head. Aroma is a nice balance of sweet malt and grapefruit and piney hops. Plenty of sweet maltiness in the flavor as well a good amount of grapefruit. Has a bitter hop finish. Nice malty mouthfeel.
