UPDATED: JUN 8, 2006 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, my bottle. Slightly hazy orange with a small rocky head. Fruity/herbaly hopppy aroma, sweet and grainy. Taste is sweet, candyish with a very bitter finish and aftertaste. Didn’t really care for it.

On tap at Crescent Moon Alehouse, 3/25/06: Light orange color with just a wisp of a head. Nice chewy hop character with a little citric bitter twist to finish it off. Very good.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle shared with and courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a cloudy orange with a small diminishing white head. Aroma of malt, faint hops and some fruit. Watery flavour of grain with some malt and light on the hops. Pretty mediocre in my opinion.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: SEP 13, 2007 Fine example of the style: good finishing hop aroma, but not dry hopped as far as I can tell. Solid measure of boiling hops. Copper/amber in appearance. Good head retention. UPDATE 9/13/7: Nitro pushed version of IPA on tap at the brewpub. Smoother and creamier. Tiny bubbles and thick head. Still a delicious beer.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A tea colored pour and a grassy/grapefruit aroma greeted me with this IPA. Head is a half inch or so with some retention and a nice lacing on the glass. Hops completely dominate the flavor and they leave a biting bitter after taste. Midway through the glass some pine made an appearance but it is deep down. This beer is all about hops and malt is almost non-existant.
