timfoolery (361), California, USA Jun 29, 2008 Bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. This one held true to the West Coast IPA mantra. It had strong grapefruit hit on the palate early, while holding a limited smooth aftertaste. However, it lingered a bit too long for me to rate this higher. Overall, very good.
beerbuzzmontreal (2743), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Oct 6, 2008 Pours a cloudy peachy color with a thick, frothy offwhite head. Solid aroma of citrusy and green hops. Solid flavor of green, citrusy hops, some malt presence and bitterness in the end. The body is medium with a creamy texture and medium carbonation. alraicercsu (104), Ft.Collins, Colorado, USA Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice orange color with a good size white head. Smells of citrus and a little sweetness. Taste the same as the smell with hops hitting strong first. RedSox2004 (175), Pacific Palisades, California, USA 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. fredandboboflo (618), East Setauket, New York, USA 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. LilBeerDoctor (625), East Setauket, New York, USA 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?)
