desurfer (1039), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA Oct 8, 2008 Draft. Pours a rich amber with a thick beige head. Aroma is citrusy and sweet. Flavor is moderately hoppy with some pine and grapefruit; rich caramel malts round it out. Palate is rich but not heavy. Nice, drinkable IPA. sirpsycho (190), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 6, 2008 Bottle at Mellow Mushroom (Hilton Head). Pours a slightly hazy orange, small off-white head. Aroma is piney and hoppy. Flavor is hop oil, grapefruit and malt. Went very well with the pizza we were having. ksurkin (60), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Oct 5, 2008 bottle poured into a pint glass. i was pleasantly surprised by this one. pours a cloudy orange with almost no head. aroma jumps out of the glass and is very pleasant with sweet floral hops, some citrus, a bit of cinnamon, and some biscuity malt. flavor is a nice balance between bitter hops and malt. some sweet flavors come through on the back end. palate is not as bitter as many IPA’s but smooth and easy to drink. not a bad beer at all. mwelsh13 (189), Maryland, USA Oct 3, 2008 12 oz bottle poured deep orange and almost golden in color with a creamy white head. Great citrus aroma (mostly grapefruit, but some lime and lemon) and some pine resin in there too. Slight sweet taste with honey and some biscuit/bready in the body. Not overpowering bitterness. Nice bitter to match the malt. Very nice IPA. Different from many of the hop bombs you see today. ilovedarkbeer (764), Dallas, Texas, USA Oct 3, 2008 Bottle courtesy of BMan1113VR. Pours a dark copper orange color. Nice lacing from an off white head that is small. Green apple cotton candy aroma. Mouthfeel is "soft" which means medium and kind of silky. Taste is sweet, and berry like. Not bad, seems like it is kind of underdone.
