Feb 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours a coppery color, a little cloudy. Not much head. Has a sweet initial aroma, a little fruity (apricot). Light body, crisp with mild carbonation. Flavor was sweet but I pick up a little medicinal flavor, not horrible though. Medium finish.

Feb 7, 2009 12oz bottler pours with a huge amount of carbonation and white fluffy, head, even with a careful pour. Medium yellow color with a bit of floral and perfume aroma. Dry and herbal hop bitterness at the beginning with little to no malt backbone. Light honey flavor. One of only a couple of misses from Southern Tier.

Jan 31, 2009 Bottle poured into standard pint glass. I have to agree with most raters here: very average beer from a very good brewery. When the question is Southern Tier, the answer is usually "Yes, please!" This is a rare exception. There’s nothing terrible about it, but it really could use an infusion of maltiness. The beer is slightly bitter tasting, not much aroma, and very thin in body.

Jan 8, 2009 Poured perfectly clear medium yellow with a huge, rocky head, in fact it was all head at first. The aroma is of piney and grapefruity hops. As you get into the beer the pine comes out again and at first there is an onslaught of hops and bitterness. As the beer warms the hops really mellow to make way for an incredibly balanced beer. This was a decent IPA, although I was not all that pleased with it in the beginning, but it grows on you as you drink it.

Dec 31, 2008 Pours gold with a fluffy white head, plenty of lace. Aroma of hop and light malt. Taste is sweetly malted and lightly hopped. Nothing earth-shattering. A fairly average APA. Finish is lightly bitter. Body is medium.

Dec 31, 2008 12oz Bottle: "Lets sprinkle it with fairy dust and wave our magic wands". WTF is that about? They should be embarrassed by that shit. Now that Ive got that out of the way...Super clear golden body with just a wisp of a head. Aroma is slightly bready with citrusy hops. Sweet malt with a bit of citrus in the flavor. Grapefruit hoppiness kind of hits you in the aftertaste. I think Ill bust out my magic wand and make this beer something other than average. Extraordinary my ass...

Dec 26, 2008 Golden pour with almost gooey lace Aroma was just a hint of hop and thats about all Flavor reminded me of apples at first then shifted to a twangy kinda funk that I really can not describe. Carbonation was a bit aggressive. It had a decent bitter but was over powered by the odd aftertaste. Not one of my favorites from them. i will try it again if I can.
