Feb 11, 2008 22 oz bottle. Orange-brown pour. Aroma is a mix of citrus, pine, and bitter hops. Simcoe and cascade are apparent. Taste is surprisingly lacking in citrus, and is entirely a bitter mouthfeel. There’s a brief moment right at the end where there’s a strange absence of taste, before a very bitter aftertaste.

Feb 7, 2008 Unclear golden of color with a white head. An aroma of hops and grapefruit. A flavor of malt, grapefruit and notes of sweet malt.

Feb 6, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper body under a one finger fizzy white head that faded to a wispy film. Nice intricate lacing. The nose is well balanced between great piney and citrusy hops and a toasted, lightly caramel malt profile. Hugely bitter and piney flavor slaps you awake with the first sip. The hops almost cross over into becoming ashy and menthol like, but stop short of being unpleasant. The malt really takes a back seat here, overall a fairly dry and crisp flavor. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. Very much on the dry side with some bitter long lingering hops. Overall, this was pretty good, but I think went a bit overboard with the bitterness to garner anything higher than a "good" score.

Feb 6, 2008 Bottle - Pours a hazy light amber with an ample rocky off white head. Aroma is apricots, doughy and yeasty with a toasted/caramel malt background. Flavor is sweet and hoppy up front with a light bitterness. Has a moderately hoppy middle with a grassy dry finish. Hop15 was more satisfying from a complexity and hop pov.

Feb 2, 2008 22 oz bottle. Slightly hazy golden orange body with a medium white head. Aroma is citrus, hay, spruce, grapefruit and malt. Flavor is medium malty and really bitter in a nice, harmonic way. Lots of flavors from the hops as in the aroma. A very nice American IPA.

Jan 30, 2008 Nice hoppy nose with a crisp finish. Not much complexity but satisfying. A good amount of malt flavor that is overpowered by the hops. Not as balanced as some IPA’s but worth a shot.
