Amber clear color, big cloudy head. Fresh, hayish, fruity hoppy aroma, nicely balanced. Good maltyness makes this enjoyable IPA.

Oct 4, 2007 A good solid IPA, good use of hops - not too fruity or sweet, a trap that some brewers fall into. Amber deliciousness in a pint.

Oct 2, 2007 Bottled, thanks to a couple fine folks! Poured clear light-medium golden with an explosive cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up plenty of citrus and piney hop influence with sweet candied fruits serving as the malt backing. The flavor had caramel and some fruits again at the sweet core, surrounded by a high level of pine, grapefruit, and floral bitterness.. came across as a touch stale, with a lot of lingering bitterness on the finish. Medium-bodied and well-bittered on the palate with enough malt to support it.. all in all a very good beer!

Sep 30, 2007 On tap at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse near Crafton. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. This creamy head. Certainly has that hops aroma, floral and almost piny. Yes, taste impact is IPA, but to me it seems more controlled than most unbalanced IPA. Perhaps I’m turning the corner on enjoying IPA> Chewing on grapefruit rinds but again it is not out of control. This stuff seems to be a little less oppressive than many IPA I’ve had recently. Mildly carbonated. Finish is bitter medicine but not as bad as I anticipated.. Not quite as good as Founders and Two Hearted. On par with Majic Hat HIPA and better than Stone IPA and DFH 60.

Sep 28, 2007 Bottle: Dark gold with a clear view on through the glass. The small head was off-white. Juniper shrubs abound in the aroma as well as in the flavor. Great all around, in yer face IPA.

Sep 28, 2007 Big grapefruit aroma and flavor. A good amount of caramel sweetness. I’m surprised at how good this is. I kind of avoided this because i thought it would be a shitty east coast ipa like southampton or weyerbacher. But i should have known better because southern tier is actually good. this tastes very similar to goose island ipa. Very similar and very good.
