kyzr (959), Belgrade, Montana, USA Sep 29, 2008 Copper pour with white head. Hoppy pine and citurs nose. Flavor is orange peel, bitter with very little malt to balance it out. Finish is dry and bitter with hops. Ungstrup (11340), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 16, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. A hazy amber beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is lovely grassy hoppy which also lends it notes of pine needles and citrus. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy which primarily gives it notes of grass and pine needles, leading to a dry and very bitter finish. BlackDonald (1039), North Carolina, USA Jul 31, 2008 Pours a clear burnt amber coloring with some golden highlights. Bubbly foam ring recedes around the rim. Pine and orange citrus with a powerful caramel maltiness. Light and floral on the palate, with some toasted caramel and honey. Toasted bread crumbs in the finish. A decent everyday drinking IPA argo0 (6227), Washington DC, USA Jul 17, 2008 (12oz bottle, thanks acrdz) Crystal clear light amber body with small off-white head.

APAish. kmweaver (2118), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA Jul 10, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of acrdz. Thanks, Mike! Pours a clear, bright honey-orange color; white head with solid, fine-bubbled lacing. Some butter, butterscotch, and a mild generic hoppiness in the aroma; a fair amount of sweetness and sugar. Medium mouthfeel: sticky candy sugar, honey, and butter, with a basic citrus hoppiness, though not much; bland, cereal-laden and lightly hopped (and, again, buttery) IPA. Medium finish: basic malty sweetness, candy sugar, and a touch of mineral bitterness.
