toddkrem (68), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jul 14, 2008 Medium head, pours clear. Just the right bitterness, very good IPA. The best I can find in the stores in Nevada.
IHABrew (1), , New Jersey, USA does not count Sep 7, 2008 22oz Bottle. Golden color with a fluffy, white head that leaves Belgian lace on the inside of the glass. You can smell and taste the citrus from the abundant use of Centennial hops. A refreshing burst hits your mouth with the first sip due to the carbonation level and bitterness. The high hopping rate covers the high alcohol content (6.9% abv), but a bit of residual malt sweetness makes it through at the finish. Nothing complex here - just a straight forward, highly hopped, American IPA. joekinty (208), rockledge, Florida, USA Sep 4, 2008 Another great ipa had the pleasure of enjoying this one in new york with my buddies nice and refreshing on a hot july day JohnQPublic (162), Brooklyn, New York, USA Sep 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours slightly hazy gold with a hint of orange and a small but creamy white head. Nose is big on citrus - pineapple, grapefruit, orange all come through, sweet but clean. Taste starts off with clean, lightly sweet caramel malt and lightly astringent hops, with a finish that allows the fresh citrus to really shine, and a lighter than expected bitterness lingering on the palate. The overall result is an utterly fantastic IPA - not overpowering, refreshing, flavorful, and one of the most drinkable IPA’s I’ve ever had. Empasizes the flavor of the hops, rather than just the bitterness. Superb balance. phishpond417 (1420), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Sep 4, 2008 On draught at the Echo Tap in Madison: Pours a bright cloudy copper colour with a large creamy white head. Aroma is floral all the way through, massive hop flow, grapefruits, lemon and other citrus notes. Taste is firm, astringent, wicked hoppy and chewy just how i like it. for $2.50 taps of this during happy hour, i was pretty happy when i left! Awesome brew, it delivered the perfect amont of hops to my palate. crowderm (161), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Sep 4, 2008 Reddish gold pour with a minimal white head. Aroma is citrus and floral hops, with a bit of honey. The hop component is a little understated for my tastes - the citrus in particular is a little flat. The flavor centers more on the floral hoppiness, but includes some very nice clean citrus. Nice refreshing finish. Pretty average mouthfeel. Good beer, but a little disappointing, hopefully I just got an old bottle.
