Mar 8, 2009 Great grassy, citrus hopping with a real nice bitter finish but there’s a little something missing here which keeps this from being one of the great A.P.A.s.
I hate to say this but it’s a little too focused on the hops without quite enough backbone. Still worth trying. A few times.

Mar 5, 2009 Copper color with a medium head. Orangey aroma with some light pine and sweet caramel malt. The hop profile switches in the flavor, favoring pine over citrus. Moderately acidic and a little vinous. Solid IPA.

Mar 3, 2009 Bottle. Great medium dark orange amber with slight hue, good lacing. Some sediment. Nose is of fresh florals, just cut, also has notes of caramel. Mouth is aggressively floral and spicy with some notes of cilantro and celery. Ripe and clean carbonation. Long bitter dry burn of a finish. Very big for the breweries regular IPA. For the style, excellent.

Feb 28, 2009 Taste 2/9 bottle. Looks: Caramel body with a thick top. Aroma: Nice hop blend aroma. Taste: Floral and citrus hops with spice. Beginning and finish are good, just a little unfocused in the middle.

Feb 24, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of the Binnys Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL). Pours a nice orangish gold hue, moderate white head that retains a little and laces, just barely hazed. Aromas are fresh from the bottle, carmel malt aromas from the pour mixed with gumball candy, hairspray, and light citrusy hops. Initial is a little lighter bodied than most IPAs, moderate carmel malts balanced with a grainy sweetness, light citrusy hops, subtle gumball candy elements. Backend shows more bitterness, but flavor falls off a little. Light bitterness and flavor on the back of the palate, some light grass, aftertaste is light but sustained. Glorified APA?
