Dec 12, 2008 Thanks southbay. Pours a very very clear gold with a one finger frothy white head. Not crazy about how clear this beer is. The nose is...interesting, earthy, some yeast character, spicy hops, citrus rind. The flavor is earthy and yeasty, some spicy phenolic flavor, citrusy, some pepper, Belgian yeast and fruity hops kind of taste rotten when combined. Spicy mouthfeel.

Dec 10, 2008 Bottle from kyzr. Thanks. Nice fruity aroma of pine grapefruit and fruity belgian characteristics. Pours a bright golden tone with a pretty nice thin head and sticky lacing. Nice bitter sweet flavors of belgian yeast caramel grapefruit and pine. Fruity bitter finish. Active carbonation. Delicious beer. Drinks very well.

Dec 9, 2008 Nice crisp piney hop aroma. Pours a clear amber, with a big fluffy white head that fades quickly leaving nice lacing behind. This starts off with a bit of sweet fruit, similar to melon, with a nice bitter finish. A bit light in the mouthfeel department, but very drinkable.

Dec 9, 2008 Bottle from Sun Devil. Pours a rich apricot color with a frothy white head and steady carbonation. Smells and tastes of balanced sweet citrus, hops, and flour. Bitters slightly as it warms. A solid IPA.

Dec 8, 2008 Honey colored pour with a pillowy ivory head that leaves significant lacing on the inside of the glass. Aroma of citrus, douglas fir, and freshly spun cotton candy. Flavor is grassy, biscuity, with grapefruit and orange peel lingering on the palate. Medium mouthfeel. Decent, well put together brew but not a personal favorite.

Dec 8, 2008 Bomber courtesy of BOLTZ7555 – thanks Jason! Pours a crystal clear light amber with a large 3 finger off white head and chunky lacing. Nose is citrus and floral hops. Taste is ripe citrus and caramel for the most part with a hint of spices in the finish before giving way to bitter resin. Medium mouth feel. I enjoyed it.

Dec 8, 2008 Pours gold into a tulip. Fluffy white head recedes to skim surface leaving spotted sheets. Brett and grapefruit aromas. Bitter grapefruit pits and brett from front to back. Very balanced between the two. Lasting grapefruit rind finish.

Dec 8, 2008 22 at Uber. Crystal clear. Pale gold with dense white sheets of lace. Huge candi sugar and watermelon on the nose, along with some mango. Creamy medium body with active carb. Sweetness of belgian yeast combined with the sweetness of west coast hops. Nice stuff. Hard to make a belgian ipa, evidently, that really stands out from the crowd, but this is another yummy one, no real flaws. Drink it with no fear.
