Oct 26, 2008 [Bottle] Pours clear caramel/amber with a small beige head. Great aroma of citric and floral hops, touch of alcohol, and a bit of grapefruit. Flavor is a hoppy front that quickly fades to a strange metallic/blood flavored finish.

Oct 25, 2008 Thanks 17thfloor! Pours a golden orange color with a lingering off-white head. Aroma is surprisingly sweet for the amount of hops. A heavy sugar nose and slightly fruity with pineapple. Flavor starts out sweet and caramel malty with a lot of sugar. The hops come quickly then and create a lasting bitterness. Nice pine hop oil quality that lingers. Medium body. Nice all around but a little too sweet then a little too bitter without a solid meshing.

Oct 25, 2008 Sample from a 12oz bottle. Pours amber with a 1/2 inch head. Aroma is malty with a decent hop balance. Flavor is hop up front with some malt to balance it out, but not much else going on. Finish is a bit thinner than expected. The only other brew I’ve had from them is Cane & Ebel, which is probably responsible for me expecting more out of this one. Pretty average.

Oct 22, 2008 From draught sample at Capone’s. Great orange and grapefruit, pine resin hop aroma. Oily with mild acidity and a bit oxidized. Light sweet malty character. dark amber-brown clear with little head. Medium heavy amber body with medium carbonation. Starts pretty malty with sticky sweetness that lasts. Good bitter hops until the finish, but a bit oxidized and papery. Hint of caramel and chocolate. Light bitter after.

Oct 21, 2008 Good beer. Citrusy hops with light malt finish. Wet hops create a tangier profile, which is nice. Very drinkable and a good one to have around. Would recommend to someone that likes a moderately hoppy beer.

Oct 21, 2008 Pours a dark auburn in color with about an inch of head. Smell is juicy hops. Quite floral and aromatic. Taste is slightly bittering and citrusy, juicy. Decent IPA. This is really easy drinking and enjoyable. Plenty of soapy lacing sticking to the insides of the glass.
