Brewed using a blend of English malts. Magnum hops are used for the early hop addition, with Goldings for finishing and dry hopping. A very flavorful and hoppy ale.

Yellow/golden with white head. Aroma of hops/citrus & malts. texture is medium filling. little sweetness from the malts.Medium carbonation. Finish has an Easy hoppy bite. OK. Pleasant. But lacks power everywhere. Too ordinary!

Dark amber color. Smell of spice, citrus and hops, but just hints of it. Taste of spicy hops and malt with a horrible bitterness. This really doesnt taste like an IPA. The pale ale tastes better.

2006 12oz. bottle amber color, slightly tan head. Awesome lacing. did not get a strong aroma. It does show a little malt sweetnes although the bitter finish is a great one.

Pours a nice amber color with a slight white head. You are immediately hit with a hoppy and citrusy aroma. Flavor is nice. Has a nice hoppiness to it that lingers. Nice brew.

Poured light amber yellow, with a llittle white head. Aroma was citrusy. Flavor was grapefruity all the way from first sip to last. I was surprised that this went smoothly down for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to drink this again.

12oz bottle, 2006: nicely balanced aroma of hops and malt, perhaps a bit more malt. for a young strong ale it tastes remarkably good, perhaps just a stint bit stronger than the pale ale. pleasant hoppy aftertaste, if thats what you like ;) definitely worth trying.

Not one of my favorite beers from Sierra Nevada. I was expecting a little more bitter finish and it was sweeter and malteir than their Pale Ale. It was a great find here in TN but may not buy much more.
