3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught. At Cole’s in Buffalo. Hazy amber pour with a solid creamy off-white lasting head, some light lace residue. Appealing IPA aroma - grapefruit, light resin, mild fruity malt. The taste delivers with the strong C-hop but I get some lightly acidic herbal bitterness too, and the fruity malt has a hint of the tropical to it - very nice. Average IPA body, very crisp and dry on the palate, only a medium-long finish, but there’s enough carbonation and acidity to make the tongue tingle pleasantly - solid, solid IPA.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: AUG 19, 2008 2008-08-16. Orange body with a modest off white head. (3+) Mild hop aroma with sweet orange citrus, light malt, gains traction as it warms up. (7+) Flavour has similar character with modest bitterness throughout, mild orange citrus, malty base, a tart note to the citrus grows as it warms. Average palate. Pretty solid, muted a touch by the cold. 7/4/7/3/15 - 3.6 On tap, Coles, Buffalo
2008-02-16. On tap @ Cole’s in Buffalo. Hazy orange amber body, smallish beige head. (3+) Hoppy aroma is lightly fruity with yeasty undertones and mild citrus. Decent amount of resiny hops with smooth orange citrus. Dry note to the finish. (7+) Smooth average to medium palate. Lacks the hoppy punch of the Hopslam earlier, but is a very pleasant quaffable IPA. 7/3/8/3/16
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught at Coles, Buffalo, NY. Pours a cloudy dark orange with an average size diminishing white head. Very nice aroma with lots of fresh citrus hops, some spices and sweetness. Flavour, which is oh so easy to drink, of fresh hops, fruit, a bit of grain and sweet malt. Alcohol’s totally hidden. Medium bodied. This is a very good IPA, I’d buy this regularly if I could.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Cole’s Buffalo. Dark orange, big white head. Great aroma - tons of citrus hops. Oily medium body, lots more citrus, lots of malt body. Wow, a great IPA with so much going on you might think it was a lot stronger.

Pours a slightly red toned amber with a nice sized head. Nose is all about the pine hops. Just loads and loads of them. Flavor is pine hops as well delivering a thick and meaty flavor. Break out the forks and knives. Feel is a bit thick on the liquid with a fairly smooth bubble. Fairly drinkable, yes. But if you don’t like strong hops, forget about it.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. One of the better IPA’s I ve had. Light hops & citrus in the nose. Beautiful deep orange color. Nice hop flavor with some crisp citrus & malt balance. Great non overbearing hop bitterness. @ 6.8 you can have a few with out killing yourself. Great IPA
