May 25, 2009 Consumed May 23, 2009. From bottle to tulip. Pours a hazy dark golden/orange with moderate white head. Lacing lingers throughout. Classic IPA aroma of citrus/pine/grass hops and hints of caramel malt. Very well-balanced beer with good bitter finish that does not linger. Excellent beer IMO and up at the top of American IPAs for me - Cheers to Bell’s!

May 24, 2009 I’ve had this beer a few times before and really enjoy it but never on tap before going to The Brew Kettle. Lace but little head with a transparent light honey colored body with a steady stream of light carbonation. Aroma is like lemongrass/rosemary/pine. Little bubbly on the lips, very crisp but not overpowering mouthfeel. Taste is same as aroma with the refreshing pine quality. A great beer from Bells.

May 21, 2009 Sweet aroma with beautiful hop notes . Hints of grassyness and summer. Pours a brilliant golden hue with a well developed lasting head. Belgian lace with bearded structures form as I drink this ale. Sweet forward flavors with a lingering bitter, but not walloped, finish. Very clean palate. Pine forests? Clean flavors. Excellent IPA. Top of class. Excellent accompaniment to foods that need some cleansing bitter notes, yet perfect to sip on the porch after a long day at work.
