Nice orange transparent color. Awesome malt and imperial/double aroma. Color is ok, but the aroma is amazing. For an IPA this thing screams Imperial/double. Picked up at Brawleys in Charlotte, North Carolina. Was thrown in the purchase for free. Awesome pine/citrus grapefruit aroma. The taste has a nice bittering hop. This is an amazing beer. Has a perfect bittering hop. The flavoring hop is not as amazing, but for an IPA this is excellent. Nice smooth palate. Overall, one of the best IPAs that I have ever had. The palate is nice and thick for just a plain IPA. Great beer; get this if you see it.

Pours a nice orange with a small head. Aroma is weaker than expected. Flavor not quite as hoppy as I wanted, a bit dissapointing.

Peppery pine hop aroma. Small beige head with clear dark amber colour. Smooth deep spicey pine with bitter pine aftertaste. A bit less full-bodied then I expected.

Aroma: Citrus, pine, spice
Appearance: Amber-Orange, thin head, lots of lacing.
Flavor: Nice hoppy bitterness, with a good balance from the sweetness & malt. Citrus (Grapefruit, lemon?) and pine-oil.
Palate: Solid body, nice mouthfeel
Overall Impression: Reminds me of HopSlam in a way - as if HopSlam just turned 30 and settled down with a wife and kids. Its much more mellow, but really similar flavor. Hard to find here in OH or I’d love to find more. Really great, balanced brew.

Cask at Stanton Public. Poured a clear medium orange color with an off white head. Attractive aroma of pine and citrus zest. medium bodied and slightly sweet with mild bitterness. Smooth cask-served mouth feel with very little carbonation. Nice mix of caramel, graham, and citrus hop flavors.

22 oz bottle poured into clear pint glass. Medium body with thick creamy white head. My favorite part of this beer was the aroma. At first thought, I smell apricot, but it could be something else; it was definately a citrus of some sort. I would have rated the beer higher if it wasnt so bitter.

[1959-20090124] Tap. Grassy sweet hops aroma. Clear, amber orange body with a medium-lasting creamy white head. Super hoppy grass and citrus navel rind flavour. Medium body is very bitter. Yum, great way to start a session.
