One of the best IPAs period. It seems like a lot of IPAs try to the point of not being able to be consumed more than once in a sitting, not the case here. The aroam takes on a very nice fresh hop quality, with citrus as well. It’s appearance is a orange color with a nice head (white). It’s flavor is hop infused with very fresh citrusy and piney hops. The best quality about this is it’s drinkability, many instances I can’t have more than 1 or 2 IPAs (12oz), but with this one I can drink 2 or more (24oz) bottles. Very good, very smooth, not watered down, just very well balanced.

Aug 20, 2008 Draft @ Flying Saucer - Nashville. Amber in the glass with a rocky off-white head that left good lacing. Light aroma of floral and hops. The flavor is somewhat ice tea flavored, citrus, malts. Medium body and medium bitterness throughout. Decent but a little different.

Aug 19, 2008 24 oz bottle from premier gourmet. pour hazy orange with a perfect tan head. perfect IPA appearance. aromas is of subdued hops with almost no malt presence. the flavours are similar. i dont feel as if the hops shine as the brewer intended in this one and the malts are a little lacking. overall its an above average IPA but just not my fav.

Aug 19, 2008 24-oz. bottle purchased at Coaltrain Wine & Liquor, Colorado Springs, CO. Pours clear amber with a huge, foamy, off-white head, lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, straw), heavy hops (perfume, flowers, citrus, pine), average yeast (sweat) with notes of apricot, grapefruit, and spiced apples. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness; nice spiciness and lingering dryness.

Aug 19, 2008 nice amber color, decent beige head, aroma is kinda like pizza dough and citrus, flavor is resin, orange and some earthy malts, kinda an odd sweeter finish.
