Oct 4, 2007 Hazy with a soapy looking head. Very fruity aroma with delicate floral notes, some bubblegum and some mint. Heavy, sweet, and resinous. Decent hop flavors but muddled. I get some DMS also. If this is 78 IBU’s, it is not apparent. I wouldn’t call this massively hoppy though. I would like to try his on tap, closer to the brewery for a better perspective.

Oct 4, 2007 Bottle. Citric aroma. Little caramel notes. One good thing is there isn’t a lingering bitter aftertaste. I think they are playing it safe with this one. It is pretty much pedestrian as far as I am concerned. That having been said, it is still really good.

Sep 28, 2007 Big sticky caramelly hoppiness. Mangp and other rich tropical fruits. Sticky resin up front and transitioning to fruit in the back. That caramel malt has a much lower profile than in the aroma, but it is solidly there to add a candy like sweetness to the beer, but still sit far behind the hops. Big orange flavor, like an ogange sunkist candy. Big affertive bitterness in the finish punctuating and adding great texture to the palate. Complex, explosive and drinkable. Pretty damn good IPA.

Sep 28, 2007 Looks fairly average, pale amber with a medium head and some lacing. Lots of citrus hops in the nose of this beer. You can really taste all the varieties of hops in this one. There’s plenty of aromatic citrus, dry grass, and resiny pine. The thick gooey mouthfeel is a welcome relief from the intensity of the hops. Finish is long and dryingly bitter.

Sep 27, 2007 Pours a clouded amber brown with a nice light tan head that sticks around. Nose is of hops, sap, and a touch of citrus. Hops are dominant though. Flavor is very woody with a firm hop tone. Standard hop character that stays very consistent and smooth and never waivers. Feel is thick with a good carbonation on there and a nice liquid feel. Extremely drinkable. Well crafted, smooth, and even. It’s not showy, but it doesn’t have to be.
I have been looking forward to trying something from these guys, and I am glad to finally get the chance. Well worth it.

Sep 23, 2007 Dusty peach. Huge citrus in the nose, grapefruit. Thick palate, quite creamy, big mouthfeel. Nice fruitiness up front, tart and citric, malty balance. Bit bready. Quite good.

Sep 22, 2007 22oz bottle acquired in trade. The pour is a bright melon orange with a thin white patchy film on top. Aroma is a very attractive resiny alpha hop. Flavor is fresh bitter and resiny. Full flavor piles bitterness on the tongue. Perhaps as this warms, more of the flavors will emerge. After a while the aroma is still nice but limited to bitter resiny hops. The flavor is still straight bitterness. This beer could really use some malt.
