Snoop59 (69), Penn Run, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 4, 2009 12 oz. Bottle. Pours a crystal clear golden-orange with a frothy, white head and decent lacing. Great citrus hop aroma. Really smooth and well balanced. The flavor begins with a malty sweetness followed by an assertive grapefruity hop bitterness with a touch of pine. A light to medium body with a medium dry finish. WakeandBake (422), Greenville, Michigan, USA Jan 3, 2009 Bottle. A golden straw color with a fluffy white head,some soft lazy carbonation.Big hoppy aroma of floral citrus and spice .Big hops on the flavor,strait to the point some grapefruit,pine nuts,and orange zest,enough malt to make a showing here,nice fat crisp mouthfeel,with a hop coating. A thing of beauty branspra (204), Arlington, Virginia, USA Jan 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours an orangish, clear color with a white, frothy head. Lacing is very strong. Aromas of grapefruit, pine, and citrus from the hops. Powerful aroma of hops! Thin initial texture with a slick, oily finish. Flavor is bitter all the way, although there is a bit of grapefruit toward the end that is nice. Very good IPA. Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jan 1, 2009 Draft at Flying Saucer. Golden color. Awesome fruitiness from the hops. Nice hoppy nose and a pleasant finish. The alcohol came through this one just a bit. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England Jan 1, 2009 Bottle from GBBF, drunk 30th Sept 08. Great dry hop aroma - lots of pine. Light amber with a lasting small white head. Very drinkable for a beer of over 6% but with sufficient body to let the flavours shine. Good dry finish. Straightforward but highly effective. Now pass me another one! fattibobatti (246), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Dec 28, 2008 finally found this in south florida. hops are powerful and very well balanced with the malt. the after taste is awesome, full of hops. jhliesen (403), West Melbourne, Florida, USA Dec 28, 2008 Bottle--OK, I just missed the 1800 rating, so what else can I add. Yummy, solid IPA, a wonderful benchmark. Light gold color with a small/medium white head. Solid hop taste without overwhelming. Not much aroma. Produce place. nathan30533 (138), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA Dec 27, 2008 Pours a light golden color with a white head. Great tasting hops but does leave a little after taste to the mouth. Very smooth palate and not your typical IPA. Great brew!
