Dec 14, 2008 Cask. Pours dark amber, with no head. Nose is piney, spicy hops, and a bit floral. Taste is sweet up front, the hops seems to lend the malt an almost rye-like spiciness, with a tingling resiny pine bitterness coming up solid and well suited to cask conditioning in my opinion. Lingering spicy bitterness sits on the palate. Mouthfeel is silky and full with a soft but lively carbonation that meshes well with the tingling hop note.

Dec 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear dark reddish amber with a small ring of white head. Aroma of light fruits and caramel malt. Flavor is predominantly malty, with some apple skins, berry, and bitter hops in the finish. Decent, but much maltier than I would expect for an IPA.

Dec 7, 2008 bottle - Pours copper with a giant, billowy, white head. It took a long time to pour this one. There is a strong, citrus hop smell. The citrus was so apparent that I wondered if they had dumped grapefruit juice in it. Like the aroma the flavor is hoppy and very citrusy. I like the fruit notes though they are almost overdone. It works for this medium bodied IPA though.

Dec 6, 2008 Twelve ounce bottle, $3.95! purchased from Ds Six Pax. Pours clear orange, off white head. Aroma is hoppy, citrusy, and soapy, chemical. Flavor is hoppy, malty, doughy, finish is wheaty. Not too bad. Not peaty.

Dec 6, 2008 Amber body off white head and Just the right amount of hops to this one, a good balace between its bitter notes and its malt notes which were mainly caramel but some citrus fruit notes. A nice crisp and dry finish.

Dec 5, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours beautiful deep copper with one and a half fingers off-white head. Good Lacing. Aroma of wet hops, citrus, and a little pine. Flavor is of caramel malt, wet hops, a touch of pine, and some light fruits. Mouthfeel is chewy and malty. Could use some more hops for my liking but a nice solid brew.

Dec 5, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of those wet hops, fresh and leafy, medium malt notes. Flavor has the wet hop bitterness with some pine and mango, and a medium-rich toffee malt base. Lots of berries also abound, and combining with the bitterness turn into an intense lychee flavor for me. Being it a wet hop ale, would have liked to get this one as fresh as possible, but either way, interesting and tasty.
