Oct 13, 2008 Updated: Nov 18, 2008Bottle. Pours dark orange with a thick, foamy white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet caramel malt. Flavor of rich, sweet caramel malt and light bitter hops. A touch of sweet tropical fruits. I can’t really explain it, but the balance of sweet malt and hops is just right in this beer. It’s not as hoppy as other IPAs but I just love the malt in this beer! It is one of my favorite beers and one of the only beers I could have at any time and one of the only beers I consistantly want to buy!! Awesome, awesome beer.

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle. Having recently rated what was apparently a very damaged bottle of this brew, I shall try to make amends. Aroma of rich caramel malt with soft fruit hop notes (citrus and mango). Flavor again malt forward with luscious juicy hops dancing about on the canvas. While not a west coast hop bomb, an extremely tasty, juicy, delightfully refreshing IPA.

Oct 13, 2008 Pale yellow arange color. Good lasting frothy head. Nice bubbling. Great aroma of hops, citrus, and pine, and mild malt. Flavor is piny, doughy and malty with an equal balance of hops. The beer is good, but more balanced and malty than expected. The nutty undertones don’t help any. It’s full bodied, and has a sharp finish.

Oct 13, 2008 500 ml fresh bottle from Bev4less. Pours a rich copper color with a big white head and incredible lacing. The aroma is hoppy with pine and some citrus. The flavor is biter hops forward with biscuit, caramel, walnuts and a good semi-sweet malty backbone. The mouthfeel is full and smooth. The finish is long and biter-sweet. Overall: This is a really good IPA when its fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Middle of the road bitter finish... glad I had one...

Oct 12, 2008 2008 Bottle. Pours a tranlucent copper/amber with golden notes and a medium foamy off white head that left sticky lacing down the sides of the glass. Aroma was wonderfully floral, some pine, grassy notes, light citrus, caramel and lightly toasted grains. Flavor of pine, mixed citrus, toffee, some nuts, toasted grains, caramel and a little grassy.

Oct 12, 2008 Aroma is sweet malt and pine hops. Beautiful head and golden red apperarance. Flavor... hmm, not as balanced as I would like, and the hops are a bit ’harsh’ or maybe resinous is a better word. Almost like sucking a pine cone. This could be better with a nice balance, I think. Goes down alright, though I do not really want to have multiple pints of it.
