bottle from afireinside. nice amber color with an off white head and good carbonation. aroma of pine and grapefruit. Lots of grapefruit in the taste with a bit of orange. This has that hoppy finish that I just don’t care for. found this to be an odd brew for a winter. overall not bad but nothing I want to have again.

Aug 29, 2008 Super-dee-duper. Bottle from Wally’s in Westwood. Easily the prettiest IPA I have ever encountered: a deep mahogany readies one for a much more alien beer. A blast of sweet hops (alphas?), apple, cranberry peel greet the mouth upon consumption. A beer whose very existence demands celebration.

Aug 28, 2008 Clear amber pour, good whitish head. Malty, hop aromas let you know what to expect. A little bitey, but finishes clean. Kind of like a good version of their pale.

Aug 28, 2008 Copper brown pour with a moderate head on a clear pour. A nice caramel hop nose. This is what I think of when I think of big American Ale. Full bodied, but not that big. Lovely malt sweetness followed by full fresh hop blast. The hops define this ale. Balance is lovely as it hides the alcohol nicely. Flavor blast comes on a bit too strong but finishes nicely with a sweet aftertaste. Malts are evident, beautifully so.

Aug 22, 2008 Nice amber pour, wtih a whtish head. Aroma is citrus, floral and juicy hops. Taste is very hoppy and finish is quite bitter.

Aug 17, 2008 (Bottle, 2007 edition). Spicy hop fragrance. Lovely hazy orange amber color, with light tan head. Tasty hops, but under control, and the citrus is more toward orange rather than the typical IPA grapefruit. An astringent bitter finish goes on forever. A very pleasing IPA.
