Soonah (467), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Apr 24, 2008 Poured a fairly standard pale copper color that was essentially clear and sat beneath a two-finger tall white to off-white head that produced average lacing. The aroma was soft citrus with bits of caramel and spice. Also some pine and floral notes. The flavor was more hops than anything else. Lots of pine and floral, with even some tea-like dryness to it. Not enough citrus and malt to balance it out. Average mouthfeel for this average IPA.
ditmier (163), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 30, 2008 2008 Bottle - Thanks be to lb4lb...pours a dk orange with a small head, aroma is grapefruit, grass and floral hops, slightly sweet...flavour follows, malty more than bitter but a nice balance, definitely hides the alcohol well, fun beer... alexsdad06 (605), Ohio, USA 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. doubleo (682), San Diego, California, USA 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. daforrds (185), richmond, Indiana, USA Jul 9, 2008 not bad and not great, but just really good. Perhaps Jerry Quarry just fought in the wrong era. daknole (568), Plantation, Florida, USA 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.
