Oct 4, 2008 Golden orange color with a nice head and good lacing. Citrusy hops aroma with some caramel in the background. Flavors match the aromas; strong hops notes up front, characterized by wheat and grass, with a caramel sweetness that balanced things out beautifully. Medium to full bodied, medium carbonation, and a crisp, clean finish. My first sample from this brewer, and it’s clear these guys are serious about their craft.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of citrus, some pine, some raspberry. Flavor has lots of juicy hop flavor, low bitterness until a touch at the finish. Good beer.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of grapefruit, sweet citrusy hops, and some light fruits (raisin). Flavor is quite sweet for an IPA. Sweet fruit, raisin, grapefruit, with a slight bitter finish. Decent beer, ok IPA. I wish there was a little bit more hops (perhaps my bottle was slightly aged?)

Oct 3, 2008 On tap at Stone Bistro. Pours a orange/yellow with white head. Bitter hops, grapefruit, orange peel, caramel malt, floral hops, and a little bit of pepper. Good, but a pretty standard IPA

Oct 1, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a frothy white head that quickly goes to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is caramel malt, melon and spicy peppery hops.
The flavor is sweet sugary malts and fruits (melon and a little banana) followed by a resiny salty tarry (almost plasticy) hop finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with some sharp carbonation.
Overall, a decent IPA. I didn’t care too much for the hop profiles. Very similar to the Hop 15 from what I recall.

nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Sep 28, 2008 Updated: Jan 25, 200922 oz Bottle. Poured a clear orange/gold color with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma was pine and citrus. The flavor had an amazing amount of hops, with pine, citrus and a lingering bitter finish, but lacked a solid malt base to add balance. The palate was above average, with good carbonation, a slick, sticky mouthfeel and a medium body.
