Mar 16, 2007 Pours a light amber with little head. It has a lovely hop aroma; mainly pomegrante and floral/earthy tones. It doesn’t taste as good, but it is still pleasant. The flavor is less sweet and more piney. It is very bitter but that fades after the smooth finish.

Mar 16, 2007 Bottle: Clear gold with a white head. It has a powerful hop aroma full of juniper shrubs and pine needles. It smells better than it tastes, but after a while you start to dig the flavor as well. A pretty good IPA. Thanks BuckeyeBoy for sharing this one!

Mar 16, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours a slighly cloudy llight amber color with a med white head. Aroma is pine and orange/citrus rind. Flavor is also full of pine and citrus, with a slight amount of balancing malt. Good dose of bitterness. I really enjoyed this beer. Highly recommended.

Mar 15, 2007 THOUGHTS: Some pine in aroma, but basically it was dominated by a ruby-red grapefruit juice-like aroma. Much like that juice it’s a little harshly bitter at first but after the first few sips you get used to it and then it start going down easy. This is a beer I avoided for a while because I thought it would be way too bitter, but it is really well-balanced. This was a nice surprise. This is definitely something I will drink again.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a medium sparkling, amber with a small white head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was mostly ruby-red grapefruit as was the flavor with a short to average finish. The body was medium and dry up front with lively carbonation and a finish pretty close to ruby-red grapefruit juice without the pulp.

Mar 13, 2007 12 oz. bottle via trade with jasonmech77 - Pours a clear amber color with a 1/2 finger thick off white head. Lively carbonation. Very light spotty lacing. Has a wonderful floral, pine, and light citrus hop aroma. Flavor is mostly hops with some very light caramel malt presence. No unpleasant astringent after taste. A big plus in my book. An easy drinking, clean, medium body IPA. Very nice. Thanks Jason.

Mar 11, 2007 Bottle from MrBendo. Slightly hazy light orange body, thin off-white head. Fresh, bright, piney, grassy hops aroma. Like opening a fresh package of hops flowers. The same fresh, leafy hoppiness carries over to the body. Bright and clean, bitter, with a light bready malt backbone. Damn, this is very nice. Three great IPAs in two days. The other two (Tyranena Bitter Woman from Hell and New England Sea Hag) characterized by complex malts and a stew of hops varieties. This one by fresh, bright hops and a simpler malt backbone. There is diversity in this style to seek out, indeed.
