Mar 15, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a thick long lasting head with plenty of lacing, over a cloudy body with extensive sediment both in the glass and the bottom of the bottle.....nose heavy with pine, resin, and grapefruit with minimal earlyflorality, but very late honey as it warms....tastes very slightly of sweetness early but this is rapidly blasted by heavy and lingering hop bitterness with long lingering grapefruit tones....mouth feel is good carbonation fine. Since others have indicated the ale was clear, I wonder if the bottle had been mishandled.

Mar 12, 2009 22oz bottle: poured cloudy orange with a small off white head. Citrusy hop aroma with a bit of pine. Flavor is hoppy of course with moderate sweetness, citrus and pine notes. Mild caramel. Finishes bitter. Mild carbonation. Good.

Mar 9, 2009 Poured from a 22oz bomber and served in a shaker. This poured a heavily hazed amber with a thick, bubbly head of beige foam. Good retention and lacing. The aroma was loaded with tangerine and pine cones. Some light caramel in the background. The flavor was full of bright citrus (tangerine and oranges), grapefruit, and light caramel. The mouthfeel was slightly resiny and medium-bodied. Light carbonation. A solid IPA.

Mar 9, 2009 Pours a a very clear amber color, very thin white head that quickly fades to a beer with very low carbonation. Aroma is very strong pine with subtle citrus and grass hops notes mixed with a more moderate malt note. Flavor is very bitter overall with pine notes hitting first and moving slowly into a citrus and floral flavor with light malt in the finish. The flavors meld fairly good but at the end of the tasting seem to impart a semi-watery flavor to the beer. Overall the IPA was good but I think there are better brews by this brewery as well as others in this style.

Poured clear copper color with a large frothy off-white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hop and small sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy citrus bittersweet flavor with a moderate to heavy bittersweet finish of medium to long duration.
This a standout brew.

Mar 5, 2009 Updated: Mar 18, 2009Pour from a 22oz is light amber hazy with a quick settling off white head. Prodigious lacing. Smells of Pine and grapefruit with a slight alcohol presents. Feels soft and inviting coating the mouth nicely. Initial tastes are quick, caramel candy and sugar (like a Belgium strong). Then the hops kicks in. This beer is nicely balanced with hops which linger and linger and linger. Terrific!

Mar 3, 2009 Pours a very slightly hazy peach gold with a tall, pillowy chunk peach-beige head that has great retention and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is citrus and pine, some caramel, toffee, toasted nuts, some sweet grain and some light herbal notes. Flavor is burnt sugar and grapefruit up front, straw, biscuit, a little caramel, blood orange, pine and more citrus come in toward the end along with a large dose of bitter and some herbal hops for the finish. Palate is medium thin, and slick at first leading to a crisp but somewhat overly drying finish, carbonation level seems pretty low. Overall a pretty good IPA.
