sinkr (121), Lusby, Maryland, USA Mar 25, 2008 Draft->shaker: Pours a large, white, rocky head atop of an amber body that exhibits good carbonation. The aroma is hoppy and of candy, perhaps bubble gum. Medium body, bitter finish, oily texture. A very good IPA.
ReademNwheat (166), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 5, 2008 From a 22oz bottle pours a hazy copper. hoppy, piney, sweet in the aroma. sorta soapy, bubblegun flavor in the taste with some citrusy hops. blipp (578), Grand Island, New York, USA Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours orange with a beige head. Aroma is hoppy, with sweet citrus, grass, and caramel. Medium body tingles the tongue a bit. Well balanced flavor of honey/caramel, grass and citrus. Not bad, a very decent session IPA. malrubius (363), USA Jun 3, 2008 22 ounce bottle split in pint glass. Hazy copper with lasting beige head and lotsa lace. Fresh hop aroma. Well balanced sweet fruitiness with assertive complex hop finish. Medium body and carbo. An excellent sessionable IPA, drinkable but definitely not bland or innocuous. hoppopotamus (81), Brooklyn, New York, USA May 23, 2008 Updated: Jul 13, 2008A slightly hazy copper/amber beer with a small off-white head that unfortunately doesn’t last but leaves lace. The aroma is fruity hops, although not terribly intense. The flavor has a healthy malt base with some vague spicy and fruity hoppiness, and finishes bitter like it should. brewandbbq (201), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA May 5, 2008 Pours clear copper, with a quarter-inch soapy head of white. A few sporatic dots of lacework and a partial skim-coat remain after the fall.
Aromatics are either well faded or sub-par to begin with. A light blend of malt and citrus.
A struggle to get much else from out of the goblet.
Medium bodied and crisp. A bit sticky.
A moderate amount of malt starts off the pallet, with plenty of minerally bitterness. Traces of citrus zest and grapefruit follow through.
Finishes with a drying, crisp bitterness and a hint of warming alcohol.
Feh..Either this one was totally un-fresh or a heavier hand with the finishing hops is direly needed.
No bottle date=no way to tell.
