Bottle: Pours amber in color with little to no head. Smells of a lot of pine, with grassy notes in there as well. I smell just a hint of citrus in this one. Taste has a very earthy feel to it, but seems a bit watery. This bitterness does not resemble the bitterness of anything else I have had. It seems to be a bit dryer than I am used to. batch 2706

Pours a clear ambe color. Aroma isn’t too strong, but still a nice piney hoppy aroma. Nice bitter flavor, a bit thin on the palate though. Good finish just lingers on the back of my tongue.

Sample from a bottle at Binny’s "Fall Festival of BEERS." Nice hoppy IPA, strong hops on nose and palate. Deep golden color, surprising for an IPA.

Bottled. Poured cooper, with a nice, white head. Nose was floral and citrusy, hinting at the hop flavor to come. Taste was citrusy, resiny, and malty, with a wonderful, bitter, hop finish. A great IPA!

Bottle (12oz). Shared with biegaman, my bottle. Poured clear deep copper with a minimal off-white head. Mil d aroma of slightly woody malt, medium bitter resin/herbal hops - not much, really. Taste - very bitter, almost harsh resin hops, lightly herbal, enough toasty juicy malt backbone to keep it somewhat in check. Slightlly weak IPA body, extremely astringent/bitter mouthfeel, enough bitterness in the long finish to seem harsh and more alcholic than 5.7%. A decent IPA, lacks character (sort of generic "bitter" to my taste) but okay.

Repectable IPA. better than average, but nothing to distinguish it. Better than their pale ale.

On Cask @ Map Room: Poured a copper color with a thin head that faded to a swirlling white line. Pine, grapefruit, and malty aroma. As it was on cask it was very mellow and in need of a little carbonation. Carmel and citrus hops filled the palate with a sweet and lightly bitter finish. I’d like another handful of hops in here, but otherwise a tasty brew. 6/3/7/3/14 = 3.3.

Bottle from Kan Presents: Fresh Hops - a blind tasting. Pours a red mahogany with a beige head. Sour lemons and malts. Sour cherries, red fruit, lemons. Tart and strange. Watery and sour. 6/3/6/3/10 = 2.8

Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured copper color with a large off-white frothy head that was mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate malty and sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium bitter flavor with a smooth biiter finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer.
