imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA Oct 26, 2008 12oz. From the bottle. Flavor is piney, floral, and citrus hops. Nice wet finish and crisp hops. One of the best IPA’s i’ve had in a while. bipolar1 (268), Hancock, Michigan, USA Oct 24, 2008 Super dry and crisp flavors of grapefruit, hops, flowers, pine and malt. Went awesome with a french dip sandwich. thefederalist (226), Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA Oct 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours a brassy, opaque golden color. Aroma of grass cuttings, pine, and citrus - very hop forward. Flavor is bitter and salty, somehow reminding me of the taste of the ocean. Finish is dry as can be - very little sweetness. The mouthfeel is thick, and the alcohol undetectable. Not as complex as I would like, but straightforward and very well made. TheRealBastard (141), The-No, California, USA Oct 23, 2008 Yum! Pine, citrus, and hops all slammed into one delicious bottle. It’s the next best thing to Hopslam. Bells makes a damn good IPA. Go get yourself some! Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Oct 23, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of Michigan native Shaun Hughey. Contrary to what the prior posters decreed, this is super sexy label art. As a matter of fact, everything about this beer is set up to turn a man on. If only it were available out here in ’’Ahregone’’! Onslow (174), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Oct 22, 2008 Something about the packaging or label kept me from trying this for a long time. I finally picked up a 6 Pack at the Paradise, MI, IGA while on vacation last summer. Its been a favorite ever since. A coppery light amber pour with a perfect off-white head. Aroma is dominated by hops. Flavor is full bodies malty with a bit of fruit, incredible hops finish. A fabulous IPA. tarheels86 (700), Washington DC, USA Oct 21, 2008 Very solid IPA. Aroma is sweet and citrusy. Lots of grapefruit with an initial hoppy bite that quickly fades. Medium palate. Very smooth and balanced. incredible lacing and an overall extremely creamy body and mouthfeel. An excellent IPA where you can never go wrong. DandyWolfFloyd (331), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 20, 2008 Aroma is dominated by Pacific north west hops, and some citrus grapefruit esters. It’s appearance is a medium dark golden with a full white head that is high in retention. The flavor is a perfect balance of malts and aggressive hops. The balance is masterful, with a nice warming feel. Not entirely sexy label, but whatever, it’s what inside right.
