May 9, 2009 bottle. clear orange, fluffy white head. huge hop nose, less on the bitter side than i expected. the hop flavor is interesting. a strong tangerine taste to it. definitely one to try but this one is almost too fragrant. hop back is more likely the one i would have again.

May 9, 2009 Updated: Oct 6, 2009Pours a mostly clear dark orange color with a small, foamy cream colored head. The head recedes slowly leaving nice sheets of lacing behind in its wake. The aroma is very hoppy with floral and piney hops dominating with a hint of the sweet toffee and caramel malt in the background. The flavor follows suit with the floral and piney hop bitterness taking center stage, but are balanced out quite nicely by the creamy caramel malts. Medium bodied and smooth mouthfeel with good carbonation leading to a sweet and slightly bitter finish. Really great flavor in this beer. This is a great IPA, and one that would be a go to beer if I could get it regularly.

May 8, 2009 Creamy head, honey colored clear body that is light and well carbonated. Taste gets better when left to sit for a bit, bringing out a hint of a caramel flavor over the citrus taste. Well balanced. I found it very drinkable.

May 5, 2009 Beautiful clear dark copper, sticky clingy white head. Fresh oily hop aroma lacks the resin I was expecting but has a nice moderate caramel base. Helluva beer, doesn’t seem to come close to 93 IBUs but as an IPA it’s great. Clean bitterness up front, abrasive lingering finish. Rich toasty dense chewy grain keeps all of the hops in balance. Good times.

May 3, 2009 Bottle. Rich amber beer with a dark cream colored head. Rich grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and malt flavor with caramel. Medium bodied. Caramel lingers with grapefruit. Nice hop flavor, but I want more bitterness.

May 2, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is of hops, caramel, citrus, and pine. Smells very juicy and inviting. Taste is more subdued than the aroma. This may be due to the fact that it is several months old. Taste is of sweet and juicy hops, citrus, and pine, with some nice floral notes to it. Has a caramel malt backbone that evens this beer out. Alcohol is barely present. A few months on it, and it goes from a very hoppy beer to a very enjoyable and sessionable beer. I enjoyed it.

May 1, 2009 Pours a copper amber with thin white head. Aroma of floral hops, malt, and spice. Flavor of hops that are well balanced by the malt, pine, and spices. Reminds me of a nice attempt at a DIPA, but one that couldn’t quite get the flavors to the forefront. Overall, not bad, but slightly disappointing.
