Sep 22, 2006 Bottled and in a pint glass. Mild amber with a thick white head. Seemed kind of dark for an IPA. Hoppy nose and flavor, but not over-powering. Would’ve been better colder than I had.

Sep 20, 2006 Found this one bottled in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Excellent specimin of the variety. Bright amber pour with a thick, off white head, very nice floral nose with roses and caramel, lots of apple, orange and bold hoppiness throughout. Finishes strong and clean. Outstanding.

Sep 14, 2006 Updated: Sep 15, 2006Trade courtesy of Monger! Pours a soft, tannish head with large-bubble clusters and slight retention; murky golden-amber appearance underneath. Plenty of hop presence in the nose, predominantly floral, with some light citrus. Bitterness is very well-balanced by the malt presence; plenty of carbonation, pleasant floral hop bitterness that’s engaging without being over-the-top bitter; slightly weaker mouthfeel than one might like. Still, very drinkable and engaging beer.

Aug 28, 2006 Sweet malts below bitter citrus and perfume provide an enjoyable balance of aromas and flavors. Clear copper pour with moderate off-whtie head. The nose is filled with grapefruit and floral aromas nicely mixed. The malts are a bit subdued in the aroma, but certainly show themselves in the flavor in the form of sweet caramel. The hops evoke flavors of grapefruit, pine. The English floral hops were nicely blended so as not to overpower with a perfumey taste. The body is medium to thick with a sticky, dry finish. Moderate bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite enjoyable.
