Definitely an easy beer to drink, has great hoppy flavor and good bitterness. jlf278 (254), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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 | 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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.

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. KawaBomber (193), New Jersey, USA

Aroma is delightfully hoppy w/ some sweet malts peeking through. Flavor is of piney hops w/ a hint of sweet malts fading into a light bitter finish. Body is rich & creamy. Quite enjoyable, nice beer. kieleszd (83), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

The two hearts must come from two different beer enthusiasts: hop/malt, because it cares a very even tone throughout yet encompasses everything a beer ought to be. Drink it!

Aroma is of fantastic floral and pine hops, and the taste is perfectly hoppy. An incredibly great drinking beer, probably the favorite that I have tried so far.
