Commercial Description:
This one's a beauty; a rich and full bodied India Pale Ale with complex malt character blended with cascade and noble hops. The end result is a beer that satisfies the "hop head" out there and won't chase away the newcomer. Drink it. It's good.

Pours copper with a thich tan head. Mild fruity hop aroma, malts apparent. Hops are somewhat light on the taste for an IPA. What’s there has a mild earthiness. The finish has the malts encroaching on the hops. Decent, but there’s a lot better for the same price.

From can : Pours a clear, nice looking copper color, with a finger of white foamy head, that hangs around for a couple minutes. Lacing stick to the glass throughout the drink. Nose of hops, pinecones, and sweet malt. Taste is sweet and tangy, turning bitter toward the end. Pretty smooth going down. Im not really enjoying the aftertaste much, it is a bitter stale hop taste, that is hanging around far to long.

Can. Pours a clear copper with an inch of creamy white head. Ghost-like lacing lasts. Aroma is sweet malts with soft, citrusy hops. Good, but muted. Flavor is tangy malts, citrus, apricot, peach. Oily, soft, refreshing. Decent.

Can from Julio’s Liquor in Mass. Pours with a golden-amber body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s sweet, malty and floral with a slight bitterness, especially in the finiah. Medium bodied and slighty dry.

on tap @ mellowmushroom orlando. golden in color, small white head. very floral aroma, but not too overpowering as most IPA. pretty smooth. probably not as bitter as most IPA’s, but i kind of liked that. slight fruity flavor. overall a good beer.

nice and creamy head indeed. exceptionally inviting and appealing. moderately strong but pleasing hop character. the beer is creamy and mated well with a slightly sweet and nice straw malt accompanyment. perhaps a hag now but born and bred a lady. a touch of fruit and lipton type tea in the mix but certainly not overdone. quite a success, wish i had bought more. a tinge of metal in the burp and the pine hops stand out in the head which is surely worth quaffing!

From tap...It had a deep orange color w/ a thick creamy head. Nose was citrus and pine, as was the flavor. It was alos a bit sweet. The finish was only slightly bitter. I prefer a more "hoppy" experience in my IPAs, but overall this was a very drinkable beer.

Rich orange/amber, nice tan head. Nose is both bitter & fruity hops. Orange tea, caramel, dusty malt, a bit plasticy - like too hot of a fermentation. Some slight alcohol. Flavor is tea, bitterness, some caramel. Kind of flat (not in carbonation) too much bitterness. Nice fruit but its overwhelmed.
