Ron (1000), Rochester, New York, USA May 9, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy amber with one finger of white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is mostly floral hops and some citrus. Flavor is the same the smell. Glad there was not a hop bite at the end. thorongil2 (54), , Ontario, Canada May 9, 2009 Updated: Jul 23, 2009(bottle) medium amber colour, large but quickly disappearing head, strong longan nose, flavour is hops with medium long dry, bitter finish petematte46 (212), Dallas, Texas, USA May 8, 2009 Beer pours a slightly cloudy golden/orange color with a medium white head. Aromas are hops, pine, and more hops! Flavor is delicious. mcc5468 (102), USA May 7, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden-orange color. Medium head. Aroma is lemon pineapple with slight alcohol. Taste is definitely citrus with malt finishing. Good aftertaste. A nice dry hoppy IPA. Good. jgentgesdo (564), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA May 5, 2009 Pours clear yellow with a small quickly diminishing off-white head. Nose is faint floral hops. Flavor is initial citrus hops segueing into a middle cookie maltiness and then switching back to a strong pine/floral hops backbone. Crisp palate, long lingering hops aftertaste. Good. 41cubs (130), , New Jersey, USA May 3, 2009 Updated: Jun 15, 2009Smells of lilac, lime peel, orange peel. Taste is on tilt toward heavy citrus, the most citrus that I’ve ever tasted in a regular IPA. The flavor overall is very smooth and without having to cope with an over the top bitter hop presence, this sucker is drinkable sumptin fierce. Palate is a crafty mix of medium bodied heft and careful light caronation, definately fills your mouth. I think what seperates this is the pronounced softness of the finish as compared to other IPAs, really supple and buttery especially at higher temps. I wouldn’t walk through glass for this but it is a great addition to the style and I’m glad to have it. The date on the case said March 10 2009 for bottling, I wonder how this would be super fresh, maybe even better. Thanks Bells. 2009 12oz.
TampaBrew (715), Tampa, Florida, USA May 3, 2009 Pours a deep orange. So much citrus aromatics and pine. Flavor is malty and hopped up. Excellent balance. I can drink this beer forever. A staple in my fridge. yumyum (113), barrie, Ontario, Canada May 1, 2009 overall a decent ipa. flowery hoppiness with citrus on the nose and a decent dose of hops in the flavour. Some grapefruit seems to come through in the flavour also. PAlate is decent. IOverall a good ipa although nothing to jump and down over in my opinion
