Tap. Pours a dark amber, the darkest color I’ve seen in their IPAs, with a generous off-white head. Aroma is filled with pine and citrus--you can smell the bitterness. Flavor is dominated by pine, and very bitter, but the bitterness fades in the aftertaste. Overall, one of their best yet, i.m.o.

On tap at the Royersford locatoin. Poured a dark amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of spices and citrus. Nice bitter bite. Lacing left on the glass.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2005 Pours hazy amber just like almost all thier IPA’s with a nice sticky head and great lacing. Aroma is nicley balanced between malts and hops- typical crystal malts with a good amount of clean slightly citrusy, and lightly spicy galena hops. This is moderately bitter but tastes very crisp and clean in the end. Pretty mild overall.

Poured a hazy amber color with a medium sized, creamy, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, grapes, caramel malts, and floral hops. Taste of spicy pine resin, light caramel malts, and a citrus grapefruit finish.

Copper in color with a nice soft off-white head, nice lacing around the glass as well, hoppy nose with hints of caramel & spice, medium in body, decently balanced, not overly impressed with the amount of hops in the body & flavor, certainly not as hoppy as quite a few others in the IPA project, decent malt backbone, dry & fairly hoppy finish, smooth & drinkable, not a bad one but others in the project have been much better

Draft at Royersford location. Deep copper pour with medium off-white head. Aroma of hop, caramel malt, some spicy esters. Tastes hoppy, with a firm malt presence and a hit of citrus and dry spicy esters at the finish. Well balanced and complex.
