Dec 22, 2008 Bottle from a BIF from thewimperoo - thanks! Pours amber with an off white, tan pillowy head. Not a very noticeable nose, slight malt and hops. I get a lot of apricot across the palate. Finish is dry and crisp. Good beer.

Dec 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slight amber, off white head. Aroma is citrus, malt and hops. Flavor is more of the , though the malt notes are a little more pronounced than the hops. Nice finish, doesnt linger long on the tongue.

Dec 2, 2008 Bottle. Almost like a Wets Coast IPA. Very strong hops aromas. Flavors of hops, pine and some grapefruit. In the finish some malts and sweetness comes through making it more well rounded than a hop bomb. Nicely done.

Dec 1, 2008 This one poured light orange with a sustained head. The caramel malt does come through and is balanced with the resinous hop flavor and aroma. A good solid thirst quencher in the IPA mold.

Nov 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours orange/amber with a huge white head. Aroma is very piney and citrusy, with some malt presence. Flavor is nice and hoppy with a good malt balance, but it finishes surprisingly thin. Still pretty good overall.

Nov 18, 2008 Updated: Dec 27, 200812oz bottle. Deep toffee orange-brown color, looks filtered. Foamy head, fresh stuff. Strong but not astringent orange citrus hop aroma. Rich and malty with a solid hop assault. Really captures a lot of the IIPA characteristics without the high alcohol. Excellent beer. Second time through and I find it to have more English IPA qualities, nice watery body with a pleasant earth hoppyness.

Oct 30, 2008 Nice hop aroma, with the caramel backbone supporting it. Pours a clear, nice reddish amber, with a cap of off white head. Nicely balanced, not quite as hoppy as the aroma led me to believe. Very nicely balanced, and easy to drink. Nothing extraordinary, but a solid beer.

Oct 25, 2008 12oz bottle. this one sat around for too long and is defl one on my re-rate list....biscuity caramel malt with little to no head at all...flavors continued along the same line but there was some hop presence due to a light bitterness towards the finish. good mouthfeel overall....just need to try this one fresh instead of 8 months old.
