12oz bottle, courtesy of lb4lb, I believe. Thanks, Deniz! Pours a hazy, orange-amber color; decently sized off-white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Pleasant soft, earthy and floral hoppiness in the aroma; some balancing British malts underneath. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy hops (earthy, predominantly, and floral); some breadiness and biscuity notes coming through as well; balanced, tasty IPA. Medium finish: breadiness, dough, and some lingering bitterness; ends dry.

Jul 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of secret santa. Pours a hazy orange amber color with a medium sized frothy beige head. The aroma had the standard citrus hops and caramel malt found in many IPAs but added honey and floral notes as well. The flavor is well balanced between the caramel malt and citrusy hops. I also get some pine and floral notes. This is light/medium bodied and at times seems a bit watery. This is easy to drink and a good choice on a hot summer day.

Jul 14, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy dark orange with a moderate sized offwhite head, specks of lace. Smells grassy hoppy with a major malt presence. Big and slightly sweet malts on the nose. Tastes slight hoppy grassy with quite a bit of nuttiness, from the malts I think. Malts are sweet as well. Medium body, good carbonation.

Jul 9, 2008 not bad and not great, but just really good. Perhaps Jerry Quarry just fought in the wrong era.

Jul 8, 2008 Second bottle from mar today! This one is really awesome as well...I think a tad underrated. Amber pour with a medium sized head that sticks around and offers some nice lacing. Aroma is christmas trees and sweet malt. Flavor is very pine tree like and has a pretty nice kick bitterness from the hops. A nice malt bacground makes this well balanced. Very good.
