clear copper, frothy cream head, nice scattered lace, citrus hop aroma, very creamy body, lots of great hop flavor with good citrus character, good balancing malt with a touch of sweetness, light bitter finish, it’s all about the hop flavor making a great drinkable IPA

Aug 10, 2007 (growler, thanks Schutzenliesel) Hazy amber body topped by medium off-white head, nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/floral, some peach, caramel. Taste is mild sweet, grapefruit/pine. Dry finish. Medium body, light acidity, some resin.

Apr 11, 2007 Smapled from a growler: Transparent copper orange pour has a thin froth of wispy white head. Aroma of orangy citrus hops and a touch of sweet caramel malt. Body starts slightly caramely malty sweet with a black peppery hoppy character and some citrusy flavor hops. Not sure if I like the black peppery hoppy flavor, but otherwise a pretty decent IPA.

Aug 9, 2007 Sampled from a growler. I liked this one. Very fruity and floral nose, with notes of grapefruit, a general fruit cocktail aroma which is kind of like pears, pineapple and marachino cherries. It’s also slightly grassy in the nose, almost like Amarillo hops, but it’s also a little bit dank and I don’t usually get that from Amarillo. Semi-dry taste, starchy as well, with some nicely bitter grassy hop flavors, crisp and snappy hops, with some sweet and resinous apple flavors in the finish. Well-made.

Apr 11, 2007 growler. Poured a hazed copper color with a medium off-white head. Earthy and floral hops. Some yeasty notes. Malty base. Sweet malty flavor wiht a light citrusy hop middle to finish. Long dry moderately bitter finish. Actually very dry.
