Sep 13, 2009 12 oz bottle purchased at 99 Bottles in Federal Way, Washington. Pour is mostly clear yellow golden with a nice
fluffy 2 inch white head. Aroma of fresh citrus (lime and tangerine) - fresh and clean, nice. Taste is earthy pine, with bitter citrus peel fruit behind that. Nice, though not as fresh tasting as it smelled. Palate is medium, nice carbonation. Decent enough IPA - though seemed more balanced towards the caramel malt that comes through. over the hops.

Sep 12, 2009 Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a clear golden colour with a middling white head. Aroma had some nice fresh and fragrant hop character and juicy citrus notes. Flavour had a decent malt base and wasn’t as overwhelmingly hoppy as anticipated. Very well balanced and crisp. Pleasantly bitter finish. Good stuff. Easy!....Easy!....Easy!.....for all the uk wrestle fans out there.

Sep 10, 2009 On tap @ Toronado. Pours a clear orange color with a small white head. Light citrus hop on the aroma, big grapefruit hop body. Quite light and refreshing. Maybe a session IPA... ?

Sep 9, 2009 A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza.
Damn good looking golden amber with a slight haze and a superb uneven white head. This is a bloody good beer. Not really in keeping with what I know of U.S. IPAs. It’s more like a stong English version, probably a little under hopped compared with most American beers of this style but it really doesn’t matter. The malt is superb and the restrained hoppage only serves to give it really good balance. Mellow and drinkable but with bags of flavour. Not the punch in the mouth I was expecting but in this case, it’s all the better for it.

Sep 5, 2009 On tap at the Blind Tiger at their Kuhnhenn event. Pours a clear light orange amber with a thin to medium white head. Nice bitterness that starts right up front. Medium bodied, light sweetness, well balanced. Finishes up with a light bitterness. Well done.
