Darko orange color with large off-white head and some lacing. Nice sweet grapefruit aroma and very citric, bitter flavor. Good overall.

22oz bottle, 1st release 2008. Pours a rich amber color with a pillowy beige head. Can definitely smell the earthiness, fresh hops with lemon and a sweet undertone. Hops from the get go with a hint of sweetness, close to honey, even some spices. Very rich mouthfeel with a smooth and drinakable finish. Teriffic and refreshing beer, definitely one of the better 2008 releases that I have had.

one of the best beers of all time, better than the SN summerfest, you can taste the "harvest" in it

Poured from the 22oz bottle a deep amber with an off-white head. Aroma was all citrus hops. Flavor was a solid malt with the grapefruit all throughout.

Good IPA for something mass produced. Copper pour with a nice head. Aroma is pure citrus with maybe a slight hint of bread. Taste is a hop party with malts crasing the bitter party at the end. Well done.

cloudy yellow with off white head, it has a bready aroma with the signature grapefruit accent. the flavor is wonderfully floral and malty, well balanced.
