Miver (547), WillowStreet, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 25, 2009 Draft. Poured golden orange in color with a medium fluffy white head that left fantastic thick sticky lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, sweet fruit. Nice body... Taste is resiny, with piney hops, grapefruit, caramel. I could drink this all the time. Fantastic. KornDogg (167), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 25, 2009 draft at The Drafting Room, Exton PA. Aroma of hop/pine... strong rich flavor of pine, hops with a bit of a grapefruit aftertaste... great balance between the floral and citrus notes bbbrew (171), Washington DC, USA Oct 24, 2009 draft at fallingrock. wow. nice resin nose with floral notes, very drinkable. Gregis (1132), Shawnee, Kansas, USA Oct 12, 2009 Bottle from Liquor Mart in Boulder. Pours a hazy gold with super-fine suspended sediment and a fluffy, pitted, white head, and patchy lace. The nose is outstanding: a beautiful blend of "juicy" citric and mildly resinous hops and a candy sugar-like supporting malt note. Medium-bodied and tongue-coating with a significant bitter hopped finish. Citrus hops hug your tongue along with just enough malt sweetness to keep the hops from destroying your palate. The finish is a nice, lingering, slightly resinous, bitter/hoppy parade across the back of your tongue. This is a damned fine IPA. I wish we could get it locally.
