Jan 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy orange amber with suspended particulate and good offwhite head and lacing. Nose of clean floral and citrus hops. Flavor has a balanced malty component at first, but is actually quite unbalanced, with a decided hop bitterness finishes this strong. Resiny hops affect the mouthfeel. Good for style. But not exactly what I look for in an IPA

Jan 28, 2009 On tap at Gallo’s Tap Room. Pours a cloudy orange copper with a medium white head. Hoppy nose with grapefruit, orange and some malty sweetness. Bitter hop flavor with lots of citrus, some alcohol and a bitter finish. This was the beer that first got me interested in IPAs and it remains one of the best of the style.

Jan 26, 2009 TAP: at Bulldog Lowertown (St. Paul, MN) on 1.25.09. Gold, translucent pour, light head. Slightly lighter in color than Bells HopSlam. Floral hop aroma that was mild. Taste was sweet, very well-balanced hop that comes on late, and pine. A little less edgy than HopSlam.

Jan 24, 2009 0.355 l bottle my uncle brought from Milwaukee. It poured very nice, murky amber body with big white head. Wonderful aroma, citrus fruits, specially oranges, some grapes, lot of spices, some of which being quite strange and new to me. Slightly yeasty as well. Flavor was very strange to me...this was my first true IPA. Straightforwardly bitter, all hoppy, with some oranges and some other fruits mixed with pepper and many other spices Also soapy, which I disliked for sure. Medium bodied, with alcohol not felt at all. Finish had some finer bitterness, again of orange peel and some spices, nice and long. Damn strange and had its special kind of beauty, which I liked to some degree.

Jan 23, 2009 Bottled 355ml. Courtesy of nearbeer. Appearance: It pours a deep copper beer with an beautiful creamy, nicely lasting off-white head. Darker in color and hazier than Stone india pale ale for example. Beautiful lacework. Aroma: Fruity, citrusy, hoppy (Centennial hops) with hints of raisins, apples, caramel and figs. Flavor and palate: A lot of oranges, apples, figs, rasins and caramel in the taste. Moderate bitterness. Indeed, quite a lot of reminiscent raisin in the malt profile. Medium bodied. Rather sweet. Licorice emerging in the finish which is slightly bitter. Overall impression: Less bitter than expected with a decent, but not overly interesting malty background. Overrated in my opinion. Thanks a lot nearbeer!
