Dark copper/amber color, thin white head that left sticky lacing through out the drink. Grapefruit zest, sweet piney hops, pineapple, carmalized sugars, and sea salt aromas. Truly well balanced in the nose. A smooth and creamy IPA with a high drinkability. Almost perfect in my opinion. Lost a point for a slight bitterness in the finish that just didn’t mesh with the aromas. Still, an excellent IPA and one of my favorite all around beers.

Pours a very clear copper. There’s plenty of caramel malt, but this is very moderately hoppy for an IPA. It’s lightly sweet.

12 oz. bottle, from DrMatt - thanks dude! Pours dark amber with a small beige head that leaves stringy lace. Aroma of toffee, earth, oranges and floral hops. Flavor is sweetish, with caramel and ripe citrus, dusty/earthy notes abound in this wet hop brew, with floral and a bit of evergreen. Medium body, tingly carbonation. Nice to get a chance to try this.

Bottle. Clear copper pour with a frothy off white head. Some stripes of lacing. Aroma and character defined by caramel malt sweetness with big leafy hops. Fresh tasting hoppiness lends a mild orange tea flavor, leaving a tannic as opposed to resiny bitterness on the finish. Nicely balanced. Refreshing. Pretty good.

Pour amber with a small off-white head. Spruce and Floral hop aroma. Pretty well balance of hops and malts. Nothing to write home about, but a solid IPA.

Had this beer on 10/2/2002. Aroma is very hoppy. Nice head and ok carbonation. Starting with a medium body then going down with a bitter feel. Finish is very bitter with a light malt flavor and strong hop bitterness.

Dark amber. Surprisingly sweet malt aroma. Spicy hops dominate the taste at first sip, but this was balanced pretty well. Pretty smooth, lightly bitter finish. Great beer to grab a six pack of.
