argo0 (6144), Washington DC, USA Sep 5, 2007 (22oz bottle) Lightly-hazed amber body with medium off-white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, light spice. Taste is medium sweet, orange, floral, some grapefruit, spice. Medium body, light resin. The hoppiness is evident, but lower alpha acidity hops result in a beer that isn’t especially bitter for the style. Still, quite yummy. bierkoning (4691), La Tropica, Netherlands Feb 18, 2008 Bottle from dkachur, shared @ jbrus’s place. Aroma has grapefruit, is slightly perfumed. Oily hopbitter flavor with grapefruit, pineapple and leaves. Soft but longish grassy hopbitter finish. Good! CaptainCougar (4624), Rockville, Maryland, USA May 24, 2008 Pours a transparent bright copper orange with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh piny grassy hops with a decent balance of sweet pale malt. Body starts with decent fullness and fresh resiny hops balanced with good malty sweetness. Finishes crisp and bittersweet with some sticky hop flavors. A nice IPA. hopdog (4524), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA May 22, 2007 22oz bottle acquired in trade with The_Beer_God (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, floral, and lightly earthy. Tastes of citrus (grapefruit), light caramel and had the same earthiness to it. Started in a honey sweetness and ended in a light bitter grapefruit finish. Thinner body.
