jonnabrix (136), Newberrytown, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 1, 2007 Very good IPA. The aroma lured me in and the flavor did not disappoint. Ctrusy hops and a nice balance of malt. Very fresh-tasing. mj (4975), Colorado, USA Jun 25, 2007 Updated: Jul 27, 2008CO2 and cask tried on separate visits. Has a magnificent cloudy orange haze from the tap. Crisp and frothy, dank, bitter, dry, really wonderful in all aspects. Spicy pine needles invite the nose, fresh dryhopped crisp juiciness lingers on the tongue. Pungent and dank, with fresh crisp citrus and melon. Near perfect IPA. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Apr 21, 2007 Hand-bottle sampled on 1/10/07: Pours a slightly hazy copper bronze with a lightly wispy white head. Aroma of sweet pale caramely malt with a ton of big, fresh citrusy grapefruity hops. Body starts with some lightly toasty pale malty flavor turning more bittersweet toward a slightly green, grapefruity hoppy finish. A nice IPA. Nate (2533), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 15, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Great fruity resinous hop aroma. Grapefruit and orange rind. Spicy and floral, sweet caramel malts. Orange amber clear with foamy lacing off-white head. Medium-heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Grassy fresh hops and bitter from the start, with decent caramel sweetness and graininess. Bitter, albeit smooth, all the way from start to finish. Sharp grapefruit rind and ozone, grassy. Great puckering chalky bitter after. zathrus13 (1288), Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA Feb 25, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Copper color, with a white head. Arpoma is citury hops, and malt. Flavor is citrusy, piney hops, fruit, and malt. TomDecapolis (3130), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 15, 2007 Thanks to hopdog for sharing this growler. Pours a lightly hazy golden/orange/amber with a smaller bubby off white head that left hints of lacing. Aroma of a fresh handful of hops, bubblegum, various citrus and lots of caramel malt. Flavor of various citrus, pine, grapefruit, earthy and some grainy malts. goldtwins (4079), Nesconset, New York, USA Feb 12, 2007 Poured a hazy copper color with an off-white head. Very hoppy and grapefruity with some other citrus as well. It smelled like a ruby red grapefruit. the flavor was lightly sweet with hops from front to back. Some malt showed itself. MNoderately bitter and semi-dry. Hand bottle hopdog (5534), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 9, 2007 Growler acquired in trade from kramer17801 (as part of the Mystery Beer Swap v2) thanks!. Poured a deeper and hazy golden amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of pine, grapefruit, and light caramel. Oddly enough, the aroma reminded me of a tuna sushi hand roll (not sure why that came to mind, hmmm, I’ll have to go get some sushi tomorrow - could be, I’m just hungry and love sushi). Tastes of pine, citrus (oranges), caramel, and had a grapefruit bitter finish.
