3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Bottle. Pours a cloudy honey. Medium off white head. Citrusy aroma. Flavor is a combination of bitter pine and orange. Very dry vs. sticky. Big bitter palate. Tangy/bitter feel on the tongue. This was a fun beer. Lots going on, but hard to pin down. Bought as a single, but wouldn’t hesitate to buy a six pack when I see again. Definitely worth drinking again.

Do agree with some of the prev reviews. It's a beer that seems confused between being piney or citrusy. Not a bad beer but not one I'd opt for. It actually reminds me of Dogfish Head's 90 but w a much more citrus profile (and I love 90")! Cheers

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2013 A very nice ipa, and my first from Saugatuck. Floral aroma with nice sweet taste. Good bitterness from the hops. Impressed by this one.

Draft sample. Poured clear dark amber color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus complex hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium smooth balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.This is a solid beer.

Round flavor, caramel, medium bitterness int he finish. Decent but nothing amazing. Bottle could be older, i dk.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a hazy orange color with a nice foamy white head that lingers a while. Nice hoppy aroma of citrus, flowers, pine, and some malt. Taste is fresh hops at first, lots of citrus and flowers, then a very strong bitterness hits. It actually seems to balance it out pretty well because there is a strong enough biscuity malt backbone. Finish is very dry and floral. Slight stale and metallic finish. Really like everything but the finish. It’s a bit harsh and dry.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a hazy orange to amber with a nice thick rocky khaki cap that leaves extensive clingy lace. Nose is sweet honey and grain, some citrus, light pine and hints of tin. Taste is quite bitter with a light sweetness peeking through. Palate is lighter, with a very drying bitterness throughout. A solid DIPA, not too heavy bodied and quite refreshing for the ABV. Good stuff.

Not sure how to rate this. I enjoyed it but I thought the hop mix was a bit strange and almost biting. The citrus hops competes strangely with the herbal and pine flavors. Sharp flavors. But then maybe more hop-head minded drinkers would take something different away from this. Serving: Bottle

bottle. amber with small head and way too much junk floating in it. as hoppy as anything i’ve ever had, but more bitterness than any other flavor. slight alcohol. i think my hopes might have been a tad too high for this one.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle, seems to have an expiration date of Oct. 1, 2012 or a bottling date of Jan. 10, 2012. Pours a lightly hazed orange golden with an off-white head. Citrus hop aroma blending into biscuit and caramel. Citrus hops turn into grassy hops, biscuit. Seems a bit stale.
