Nov 9, 2009 Pours a clear orange/gold white slightly off-white head. I had this side by side with the SPA, and this aroma was more muted, hops and cirus. The flavor was more pungent hop bitterness, sharp citris and grapefruit, pine, and some bready malt. Fresh and clean IPA.

Nov 9, 2009 The look is bright orange colored, nice off white colored head, and clear. The smell is really nice, fresh, citrus, hops, caramel, and pine. The smell is bursting out. The taste is caramel, pine, hops, some bitterness, nice.

Nov 8, 2009 huge aroma of hops that manifests as strong lemon and fresh cut kentucky blue. appearance is light for style, straw yellow with a very light haze. flavor is huge lemon and subtle tangerine sweetness punctuated with a turtlehead of bready malts. this is deciedly not fresh, 45 days old minimum...but i wonder if that wonderful bready note (and subsequent balance) would have existed in its freshest capacity?

Nov 7, 2009 Clear gold with a dense taupe head. Aroma and taste are clean and citrusy with tangerine notes and simcoe character. Finish is clean with relatively brisk carbonation. $6/pint

Nov 3, 2009 Pours a thick golden yellow color, very cloudy appearance. There are also lots of bubbles, a thick white head and a good amount of lacing. Aroma is floral hops, grapefruit and malt. The taste is grapefruit, citrus, and lots of hops. Great IPA from Port.

Oct 31, 2009 pours a golden color with a huge white head on it...great retention and lacing. very lively looking with lots of co2 bubbles. aromas has some pilsner malt, a bit biscuity, and some subtle citrus and spicy hops. flavor has loads of spicy hops up front with a touch of grapefruit towards the end. slightly oily mouthfeel with a very bitter lingering grapefruit finish.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle courtesy of LilBeerDoctor when we met up at Captain Lawrence to swap our mysteries a bit early. Thanks Margaret. Pours a hazy golden orange with a huge yellowed white head. Great big citrus and musky pine and earthy hops. A bit thin, a touch sweet. Finishes with a long drawn out quinine bitterness. Very tasty.
