detroiter (957), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA Feb 11, 2007 Pours a slightly hazy copper color, with an inch of nearly white foam. Good lacing througout the glass. The aroma is full of candied peach and mild hops.
The malt is light toffee and mildly fruity. It blends into a pronounced pine/citrus hop bitterness. The aftertaste is full of that same pine/citrus. Not quite medium body and smoothly carbonated. I would have liked some more malt, but still this beer is nicely drinkable obisbeer (554), Madrid, Spain Jan 25, 2005 From Growler: Nice amber orange with small white head. Piney hop nose with peach , green pineapple and more. med weight with light sweetness and drying bitter finish. Creamy vanilla/peach flavor iwth light pine though a bit light in the mid palate. Great quaffing IPA robertsreality (2462), Minnesota, USA Jan 18, 2005 Dark Orange Coloring With Big Off White Head. Nice Citrusy Orange Aroma and Hops. Heavy Hops on the Tongue to Begin With...Then The Orange Flavors Come Out Very Nicely...Very Rich Flavor...Like Sucking Juice From an Orange..Dry and Fruity Ending. Excellent IPA !! badgerben (3074), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Jan 9, 2005 Hazy orange color with a medium head. Very nice hoppy aroma with a strong hit of orange. More of the same in the taste, but definitely on the sweet side. There’s a strong malt balance to the hops as well. Certainly not to style, but a damn tasty brew in my opinion. Pigfoot (2225), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Dec 30, 2004 Very hazy appearance, deep amber hue, nearing on orange, with an acceptable film of froth above.
big, juicy aroma, dripping with fruit, cherry pits, drizzling nectarines, brimming over with berries, jumping with juicy fruit.
On the palate, a big blitz of hops, and fruitiness, but there’s an overwhelming, how else can I put it, plasticene feel? ...a little soapy?...Just a little sticky-icky, and rubbery, too. Big, beefy presence on the palate, rounded and rimmed with just slightly bitter hoppy flavor, ...I like it okay, but it needs some work.
