pepsican (884), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA Nov 30, 2007 Pours amber with little head. Hops and sweet malts in the nose. Tastes of hops, citrus, and caramel. Kind of odd with the caramel, but in a good way. Finished dry and bittersweet. Different but good. Tmoney99 (4659), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Nov 29, 2007 Bottle trade from shigadeyo. Poured a hazy copper color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus and fruit aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Solid bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good complex brew. bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Nov 23, 2007 Bottle, thanks to after4ever. Pours a hazy copper with a lacy off-white head. Medium body. Sweet caramel, citrus, peach nose. The taste echoes these notes. Lingering finish. kseecs16 (865), Naperville, Illinois, USA Nov 16, 2007 Bottle. Poured a beautiful dark amber with a thick off-white head, nice lacing. Floral cascade hops dominate the aroma with their sweetness. A slap of full sweet hops up front with a balanced bitterness. Fairly sweet tasting all around. Great creamy full body, bitterness lingers. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Nov 11, 2007 12-oz. Thanks, Pantanap! Pours dark cloudy with loose sudsy head. Light strings of lace. Big peach and caramel nose. Watery body. Peachy, tangy, caramelly mid-palate. Sour acidic hop finish. Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Nov 6, 2007 Courtesy of Gillard. Pours a clear copper with nice tan head. Big aroma with grapefruit hops and an even flow of sweet caramelized maltiness. Grapefruit hops hit in the flavor first followed by roasty malts and caramel malts. There’s a mild toffee note that draws toward butterscotch. Nice mix of malts and hops. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA Oct 28, 2007 Nice IPA. Solid body, malt has presence. Spicy hops, citrus. Clean finish. A little peppery on the hops, but very nice balance overall. Tasty. madcow75 (425), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA Oct 27, 2007 Bottle. Pours very hazy amber with almost no head. Aroma of citrus, pepper and earthy malt. Rich hop taste with a big malt background, taste like oats after the hops up front. Nice and earthy aftertaste. Interesting take on the IPA, I’m used to the west coast hop bombs, this is nice and balanced. Good stuff.
