I enjoyed this fine beverage in a 20 oz oversized pint glass at the blue tusk in syracuse, NY. It had a very subtle and nicely balanced hop vibe to it. It kind of had an english ale smoothness to it. It was a nice beer to finish the evening with. Very chill floral aroma as well.

Jan 6, 2010 Floral citrus-like aroma I found very pleasant. You couldn’t ask for a better looking brew. It has a fluffy white froth and it’s not transparent and not too hazy. My only qualm is that it is a little thin for me. It could use a little more kick I think. A little more bite and this would be one of my top beers, regardless of style. From my overall rating you can see this is only a minor complaint, though. Seasoned IPA drinkers and beginners alike could enjoy this equally.

Dec 31, 2009 Bottle. A hazy dark golden beer with a huge, frothy, creamy, mostly lasting white head. Nice aroma, moderately malty and hoppy with notes of caramel, flowers. pine, resin. There is enough malt depth to balance the hops. The flavour is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Perhaps sweeter and maltier than the average American IPA. Medium body, lively carbonation, dry long finish with medium bitterness. No thrill, but well crafted.

Dec 28, 2009 Bottle, 12oz. A clear golden body with a minimal off-white head sitting on top. Hop-dominated nose with resin, pine cones and grapefruit. The flavor has a nice bitterness as well as the resiny, grapefruity elements found in the aroma. Wonderful bitterness in the finish. Full body. A quenching, easy drinkable beer. 090828

Dec 27, 2009 12 oz. bottle, served in tulip. Clear amber with rocky white head and moderate lacing. Aroma of pine and grapefruit. Light-medium body, dry with good carbonation. Bitter hops dominate through to long hop finish. This bottle was quite fresh and crisp. A good example overall, but could use some more malt and a bit more in the body.

Dec 27, 2009 NICE FOAMY HEAD AND WONDERFULL SWEET AROMA ON THIS ONE. TASTES LIKE A TRADITIONAL MODERN MICRO BREWED IPA WITH ITS SWEET YET BITTER CITRUS AND PINE FLAVORS GOES DOWN EASY AND PAIRS WELL WITH GRILLED FISH, RICE AND CRISP VEGGIES. A LITTLE ON THE LIGHT SIDE FOR MY LIKINGS BUT STILL A GOOD IPA FROM A GREAT BREWER.
