Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jan 12, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours an off-white head and has a deep honey colored body. Smells of honeyed fruit and hops. Tastes of apricots and pine. Big body that is slick. Bitter finish. Smooth beer. SamGamgee (1394), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA Jan 11, 2009 12oz bottle, thanks argo0! Bright orange with an oily head that leaves some nice lace. Big citrus candy aroma: grapefruit, orange peel, and some slight mango for good measure. Pure hops, with a good supporting malt sweetness that doesn’t provide assertive character. Very citrusy flavor with lots of orange, light grapefruit, and a soft bitterness. Good balance, with a bitter, yet soft finish. Medium bodied with smooth carbonation. Very well done, though the hops are quite one-dimensional. hooves (3), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA does not count Jan 10, 2009 A favorite. Very tasty, not too thick, not too light. Love the northwoods style fish design! keithk (8), ny, New York, USA does not count Jan 10, 2009 Updated: Feb 9, 2009(bottle) For me this is the perfet beer - lovely floral hoppy aroma and crisp, slighly bitter hops in the taste. As good as any IPA I have tasted from a bottle. brewski519 (393), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA Jan 10, 2009 On tap at CIty Beverage in Durham NC this beer is organge tinted golden in color with a white head and decent lacing. Nice citrus and floral hops in the aroma. First sip I picked up the grapefruit, perfect amount of hops, and subtle malt. This is a very smooth beer and extremely drinkable. Carbonation was perfect. Dubbercody (214), Vancouver, Washington, USA Jan 9, 2009 Nice HUGE fluffy head pops out of this beer to settle into a small fluffy covering of the brew. Lots of citrus, and floral rise up out of the glass to start your taste buds a’ tingling.
Nice flavor and smooth resin flavors. Nice beer, ever judged by a Pacific North Westerner. Very drinkable and up there with many of the other top notch IPAs from round these parts. pjweaver (133), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 4, 2009 Tulip glass.
Bitter flora aroma, hints of ruby grapefruit and some clementine. Pale caramel pour color, with a fluffy white head. Head is resilient. Great hopped IPA, with flavors matching the aroma. Gusgus (176), Mölndal, Sweden Jan 3, 2009 Bottle at Akkurat 081227. Pours pale golden with thick white head. Aroma of grapefruit, lemon and floral perfume. Amazing mouthfeel, very pearly and velvety. Clean bitterness with a very dry finish. Slightly herbal hoppiness and some perfume. Clean and simple and very drinkable.
