Jan 22, 2009 Poured at the Irish Rover, Louisville. Aroma was full of hops and some citrus. Appearance had nearly no carbonation with a creamy head that dissipated quickly. Flavor was straight hops, duh, with maybe even a hint of grapefruit. Light, creamy palate with some brief liveliness. It was good, but I could have used some more variety in the flavor.

Jan 22, 2009 Wow! Lots of hops bitterness. Can drink one or two before it overwhelms the senses. It’s certainly not Blatz, let’s face it.

Jan 20, 2009 One of the best pale ales out there if not the very best. One is first struck by the Baroque copper hue and light foamy head then the odiferous but not overwhelming scent of fresh earthy flowers and grains exquisitely balanced between sweet and acid. A masterpiece of brewing with a high hop rate that plays remarkably well off the other qualities of alcohol and malt.

Jan 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice transparent amber body with fluffy pure white head. Sweet and spicy aromas like fresh baked bread and oranges and cloves fill the nose. The pallate is delicate and multilayered. The bitter hops fill the front of the mouth with a dry bitter sensation and the sweet chewy malts dance with creamy smooth sensations on the roof of my mouth. The bitterness holds out just long enough to finish dry and leave me craving another drink. The flavor is full of dry grassy hops, clove spices, grapefruit and a sweet thin honey residue. Really a nice treat.

Jan 19, 2009 12 oz bottle bought on a whim. Pours with a medium white head, and produces slightly floral aromas, and smooth floral and sweet tastes.

Jan 19, 2009 A great ipa. This beer could serve as the baseline for the category. It pours with great white head and goes down so easy. Decent balance with a great rounded hop character. Well done to the Bell.
