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. adrian910ss (1395), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA May 25, 2009 On draft at the brewpub. Pours a slightly cloudy orange honey with a medium white head. Nice fresh aroma of grapefruit citrus, pine and mango. Taste of freshly squeezed grapefruit, mango and pine. Very nice. 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. daknole (2810), Plantation, Florida, USA Jan 25, 2009 Tasted at Jupiter beerfest. This was actually quite good! Orange pour wtih a nice head. Aroma is full of citrus hops. I get lots of different citrus, grapefruit, lemon and calamondin. Flavor has a great hop bite full of grapefruit peel and some nice malts to finish this one off...yum. machfive55 (218), Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 1, 2008 Poured a beautiful amber/orange, with a good head even from a growler. There was a lively carbonation that lasted through the beer and there was lacing left on the glass. The aroma is grapefruit and piney hops, just awesome and very refreshing. The beer is bitter, but a nice bitter that melds perfectly with the maltiness. The beer finishes smooth, not bitter like some IPA’s. They hops last the whole way through the beer. Oakes (8072), gone rambling, Vietnam Feb 24, 2009 Hazy light amber with a thick head. Bright hop aroma with hints of wood, nice citrus. Smells awesome. Dry, pithy, herbal with just a hint of almost fruity sweetness. Really nice example. jehoey (766), Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 14, 2006 Updated: Sep 8, 2006On tap at brewpub; rerate: Alright so my palate has defineatly matured. I love the piny and citrussy notes of this beer it is chuck full of them with a nice malt backbone. This is a great IPA one of the best that I’ve had (best single ipas that is) aroma is full of the citruss and pine notes. slightly oily palate. A great beer darkguardian (506), Florida, USA Jan 25, 2009 Tap at JCBF09. Wonderful smelling IPA with a hazy burnt orange color. Nose is fantastic with lots of floral and citrus hops, like smelling fresh grapefruits and apricots. Taste is very hoppy but not near as bitter as I was expecting, very well balanced with alot of lasting caramel. Hits of orange and a unidentifiable spiciness make this quite complex and different. Very very good.
