acrdz (4489), Boulder, 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. Nate (2291), 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. machfive55 (90), 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. jehoey (732), 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 Dickinsonbeer (2565), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Dec 3, 2006 Growler from brewpub. Pours a hazy deep gold, light amber with a thin sticky white head and good lacing. Aroma is very pungent resinous and piney with a strong citrusy grapefruit character. Big chewy body with a modest amount of malt, and light caramel, but the hops are very robust- piney, resin, citrus, orange, with a very tacky and harsh bitterness in the end which is really nice. Great IPA.
