Oakes (6510), Miami Beach, Canada May 7, 2008 Bright amber colour. Huge nose - so much hop, fairly grassy with a hint of blackberry. Big blackberry/raspberry character. Firm woodiness. Sweeter towards the finish, with yet more blackberry. Fun stuff - I like the balance. dkachur (370), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA May 3, 2008 Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, downtown location, Charlottesville. Pours a light copper color with a medium sized head. Understated but well balanced aroma. Taste is a nice hop profile with a sweetness balancing it at the front of the tongue. A little chewy. Nice. matt7215 (401), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada May 1, 2008 12 oz bottle from a trade with franksnbeans. pours hazy orange with a medium tan head that lasts and lasts. perfect IPA appearance. aromas are a little quite but citrus hops are the main focus. flavours are nice and hoppy but the malts leave something to be desired. somewhat watery in the finish. a middle of the road IPA. dlovell2 (87), Columbia, Maryland, USA Apr 30, 2008 This is a delicious brew. The name is fitting. Amber color. Great hop aroma. Lots of hop, grapefruit flavor. ironchefscott (163), long beach, California, USA Apr 29, 2008 smells very citrusy and has a nice balance of hop and malt flavors.......after a bit though the hop flavors tend to fade a bit and loses the hop punch that I love in an ipa.......though I have to say for an east coast ipa......goood stuff
