Bottle: Pours an opaque copper color with a tan head. Aroma, citrus, pine, caramel notes, some brown sugar. Flavor, caramel, a piny bitterness, big malty notes. Bottle was probably a bit past it’s prime, but still solid.

May 7, 2008 appears that this is being brewed again... crystal clear copper color with a thin off white head. floral hops hit the nose first... followed by citrus, light pine, brown sugar, sweet grains and some kind of fruitiness that i can’t place. surprisingly dry palate.. or not too sweet? flavors of wood, evergreen-y, tangerine pith and grainy sweetness. lightly bitter dry finish with a candy like aftertaste. medium body but it leaves a phlegmy texture in the back of my throat.

Apr 30, 2008 bottle from bevmo. Clear golden with a foamy white head. Citrus and mild pine aroma. Sweet slightly bitter taste. Not as good as when Green Flash brewed it.

Apr 29, 2008 22 oz. bottle from BevMo (Tucson) - Glad to see this beer is being brewed again. When Green Flash stopped brewing this I wasn’t sure when it would appear agian. Pours a hazy amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is big pine, citrus, and floral hops. Flavor is mostly hops with a touch of residual malt sweetness. Suprisingly, there is very little astringency to the aftertaste. Medium body. Alcohol isn’t overbearing. Overall, a decent 2IPA.

Apr 26, 2008 Orange pour with minimal fizzy white head. Good hoppy and citrus aroma. First drink was okay, almost sweet and some spicy hops. Finish was bitter and soapy tasting. I couldn’t get the soap flavor out of my mouth. It really ruined the rest of the experience, which wasn’t bad.
