fiver29 (303), Strongsville, Ohio, USA Jul 22, 2008 Growler from Santa. Thanks Santa! Pours amber color with a thick off white head. Has little aroma for a IPA. Has a lighter mouthfeel than most and has little hop character to it. I taste mostly malt. Not what I expected from a top IPA. Will re-rate if I try again with different results.
fonefan (4439), Ulfborg, Denmark Sep 2, 2008 Bottle 12 fl.oz @ Amerikaner blindsmagning @ Papsoe, Bottle #03.] Unclear orange color with a average, frothy, good lancing, mostly lasting, off-white to light beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate to light heavy hoppy, grass, orange. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a long to average duration. Bitternes is shell bitter almost harsh bitter. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (190608) Gregis (911), Overland Park, Kansas, USA Aug 29, 2008 Growler shared by beastiefan2k. Pours a hazy, orange-gold with a thin beige head that laces nicely. The nose is of bright, fruity, citric hops with a nice, almost nutty, malt backing. Light to medium-bodied with a nutty, bitter-hopped finish. The flavor follows the nose with a nicely bitter, resinous finish. This is an interesting IPA; quite nice. Thanks again for bringing this back from the Minneapolis, Eugene! JMFG (1140), Florida, USA Aug 22, 2008 Sampled from growler @ RBSG, thanks to whoever brought this. Clear amber color, thin white layer of head. Spicy hop profile, balanced between earthy and citric. Nice clean and refreshing citric hop kick that lingers for a while. Refreshing and well done. Boliv (144), New York, USA Aug 19, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Golden orange in color. Aroma of citrus and piney hops. Flavor is somewhat floral and citrus, slightly bitter, and nicely balanced. A little weak on the hops in my opinion, and a tad thin. A good beer, but I guess I thought this one didn’t live up to its reputation... wickedpete (566), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA Aug 7, 2008 Thanks to Ken for this one. Cloudy gold color with a white head. Buttery, spiced, earthy aroma with some hops showing. Watered down flavor with caramel and a strong bitter aftertaste. Dry palate.
