Jan 28, 2009 From the bottle, pours a clear orange with a thick foamy white head. Citrusy floral hops are the aromas. Beer is light enough to drink but thick enough to be considered beer. Flavors are malty and citrusy, a bit of orange/lemon, with some floral hops to finish. Light bite at the end and finishes with just the right aftertaste. This is an excellent IPA, though perhaps not a hop lover’s delight.

Jan 28, 2009 Pours a beautiful amber/orange with a medium white head. A huge aroma of citrusy hops hit the nose as you pour. What a beautiful IPA. Tastes of grapefruit, orange, and a perfect malt presence. A very balanced IPA, not too overwhelming, just right. One of my favorite IPA’s. Everyone must try this beer.

Jan 25, 2009 Bottled 12 Fl. Oz. Trade with nearbeer. Apperance: Slightly hazy pale copper with a bubbly off-white head. Good retention. Beautiful lacework. Aroma: Very strong. Centennial hops showing up. Reminiscent lychee, wood, hop resin, grapefruit, tangerine, quinces, licorice and caramel. Flavor and palate: Deep Centennial hop characteristic. Notes of grapefruit, licorice, wood and hop resin. Nice bitterness. Perfectly balanced. Wonderful finish of hop resin. Overall impression: Flawless and deeply pleasant. Thanks a lot nearbeer!

Jan 25, 2009 Updated: Feb 13, 2009Appearance: slight haze; good IPA color; huge fluffy off-white head that never goes away
Aroma: Very nice but somewhat closed aroma--but its very nice! just the right amount of malt in the background
Flavor: Very good flavor profile echoing the very nice nose; however, I might like some more intensity; seems a little restrained; that said, it is very well balanced
Mouthfeel: Tremendous! One of the best parts to the beer; smooth, suave, well-balanced

Jan 24, 2009 Bottle. A lot of hops, which I like. Also a nice taste of citrus. I recomend this IPA!

Jan 24, 2009 A very good IPA. Smooth finish, nice hops flavor, some pine. Good citrus aroma. Not much citrus in the flavor though. Its good, but I don’t know if I’m really wild about it. It just doesn’t have a whole lot of ’pow’ to in terms of citrus and hops. Quite easy to drink

Jan 19, 2009 Updated: May 24, 2009Surprisingly darker golden, large amount of hops, most balanced IPA I’ve enjoyed, a model for other IPA’s.

Jan 18, 2009 Pours a dark golden color with a medium sized bubbly white head that settles to a thin film. Rings of lacing are left behind on the glass. Citrus, grassy, and piney hops come through in the aroma. The flavor follows with the grassy and piney hops pushing forward, but are balanced out by a sweet caramel malt backbone. Medium bodied and very crisp on the palate. This one is easy drinking and finishes with a dry and bitterfinish. Solid IPA here.
