Bottle courtesy of ucusty. Thanks! Golden pour with a lasting head and some decent lacing. Aroma is light but there are notes of floral hops, some pine, and a touch of malt. Hops upfront with notes of floral perfume, pine, pepper, then some nice mild sweetness which moves into a resiny floral and peppery finish. Somewhat dry mouth feel with some resins that coat the mouth. I expected more with the description, but it is a decent IPA all things considered.

Jul 17, 2008 Bomber from GAManiac. Thanks dude. Pours a deep orange glow with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is very hoppy with a good citrus hit. Taste is full of resin and is pretty hoppy as well. Pretty good overall.

Jul 16, 2008 Hazy golden amber pour, with a small fizzy soda head. Resiny citrus hop nose, with a mild bready cookie dough maltiness. This has mellowed quite nicely and has remained quite well balanced. Very sublime and easy to drink.

Jul 14, 2008 Thanks to goldtwins for the trade. Pours a lightly hazy copper with golden/orange notes and a medium creamy/bubbly off white head that laced. Aroma of pine resin, pink grapefruit, light orange, caramel, toffee and some lightly toasted grains. Flavor of caramel malt, pine, grassy, some grapefruit and lightly toasted notes. Moderate hop bitterness for an IPA.

Jul 3, 2008 Pours the color of a perfectly ripe georgia peach. Consistently thick frothy head. C
Strong citrus fruit and hop aroma. Sour green apple and orange fruit salad with just a few peaches, and tons of pine. Strong hop flavor up front, followed by some sweetness. The body is thick and smooth and everything I look for in a hop beer.
