Oct 18, 2009 Draft. Small head with good retention, transparent orange body, no visible carbonation, and a good amount of lacing. The aroma was citrus and pine hops, sweet, and spicy. The flavor was caramel malt, citrus and pine hops. The mouthfeel was fairly smooth and this is a medium bodied IPA. This beer has a very distinct citrus and pine hop presence which lingers for a while, but at the same time the hoppy taste is not not overly done. This beer has a nice aroma/flavor balance and it is worthy of a try.

Oct 18, 2009 Nice copper pour with a pretty big white head. Lots of hop aroma... pine, citrus and floral. Mouthfeel is full and resinous. Hop flavors abound, with a nice sticky-sweet malt backbone. Really a brew that showcases hops but isn’t overwhelming and is quite drinkable for a bit high abv.

Earthy pine dominates the aroma with some vanilla, bread and a touch of lemon. A bit of a sweet jasmine tea flavor then a very clean bitter finish. A little bit of horse barn on the finish.

Oct 15, 2009 Bomber. Very lively in pour with a clear amber color with a thick creamy head that stays. The head is off white. Aroma is grassy and citrusy. Flavor is sweet hoppy with some fruit bitter throughout. Finish lingers bitter sweet and long. Alcohol very well hidden. Tight, straight forward, refreshing, and evenly balanced with malt depth in backdrop.
