Oct 31, 2007 Tap... Poured an unfiltered burnt orange with a thin white head. I typically like the look of unfiltered beers, but the head diminished so quickly to nothing I had to rate its appearance lower. Sharp, hop and grain aroma. Great texture in the mouth and a punch of hops with a very earthy/piney presence. Tasted great.

Jan 9, 2006 Whew, this was a big one. A virtual smorghasbord of hops! This has the maltiness to back it up though. This is a very well made and solid IPA. Big citrus aroma, deep and rich in character, with some sweet breads, maltballs and grapefruits. Yum!
