Dedollewaitor (3622), Odense, Denmark Jul 20, 2008 12oz bottle. Thanks to TheEpeeist. Pours hazy golden with a fine stable creamy white head & handsome lacings. Nose is hoppy - lots of fruity citrus & floral notes. Overall a hoppy IPA with just a touch of bready malts. Pine, grapefruit & citrus. Very fresh & crisp. Long lasting bitter end! This is quality! Very nice! RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Jul 20, 2008 Bottle thanks to Alobar! Probably the best IPA I’ve ever head. Aroma of grapefruits and pine. Beautiful combination of sweet malts, citrusy and earlthy pines. Has good, lasting bitterness but not over the top. An exceptionally well made beer. 2jayjay2 (6), Roseville, Michigan, USA does not count Jul 19, 2008 A top notch ipa with a slight citrusy finish and lingering hops at the end. A thoroughly tasteful example of the style. kosko20 (302), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Jul 16, 2008 Thought I had rated this one. Similar in some ways to Hopslam, just not as beautiful as it. Definitely an easy beer to drink, has great hoppy flavor and good bitterness. jlf278 (250), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Jul 15, 2008 On draft, had a simply breathtaking aroma - tons of pine, some citrus, just a real breath of fresh air and was a good introduction for the flavors soon to come. Appearance was pretty good, a nice dark ipa burnt amber. Flavor is quite bitter, too bitter, but pleasant - 12 oz. took me a while to finish. Palate was great as usual with Bell’s. Overall, just a great beer when you’re in the mood for something extra hoppy and powerfully bitter. Perfect for summertime sipping. torourke (7), West Melbourne, Florida, USA does not count Jul 14, 2008 I’m fortunate that I can get this beer here in Florida. This beer is a light amber color with an excellent head that leaves plenty of lace. The taste is well balanced with cake like pale malts underneath the strong hop flavors. The hops are very fresh tasting and floral and fruity in the best way. The mouth feel is medium thick and almost perfect for an IPA. A very enjoyable beer that is in my refrigerator most of the time. Chipper (179), Red Lion, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 14, 2008 Pours a clear amber with a medium off white head. Very hoppy aroma yet the flavor is a little creamy with just the right bite from the hops. Really good stuff. Woodsman52 (23), , Ohio, USA Jul 14, 2008 This IPA actually does remind me of times spent at the lake house in Garden Bay. It has a subtle yet well defined hoppy feel that is very enjoyable. Great cloudy light amber color with a small but suitable head. A great beer for late afternoons and/or early evenings around the campfire on a lake house beach.
