Jun 9, 2008 bottle, perfect champagne head dissipates to a soapy 1/4" ring, pure golden color with some haziness to it, light nose of graham crackers and malty, flavors are excellent wth apricot, grapefruit and peppery hops, finish is bitter but not overly so, a very nice IPA

Jun 8, 2008 12 oz. bottle thanks to Secret Santa. Pours a cloudy golden amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted beyond the halfway point and left a layer of lace with each sip. Very pleasant aroma of malt and orange zest. The flavor is equally nice with a solid caramel malt backbone supporting grapefruit and orange hops bitterness. Some light bitterness lingers for a bit after the swallow. A little sticky on the palate, which I liked. Very good.

Jun 7, 2008 This is one damn fine IPA. Lacey white head stuck to the glass until the last swallow. Remarkably crisp and refreshing. I usually don’t go ga-ga over this style of beer, but this is one worth remembering. A wicked summer session beer. Cheers.

Jun 7, 2008 12oz pour to a huge white head that laced nicely. Wow! Huge nose of citrus, hops, and more citrus. Nice, slightly cloudy orange/pale color that looks light and weak but is nothing but the opposite. Nice balance considering all you smell is hops and the 1st thing on your palate is hops. It smooths out nicely and finishes with a floral, hoppy, fruity taste that reminds me of Manderin oranges. Very complex, yet quite simple because it is wonderful and all dovetails together into one awesome beer.

Jun 7, 2008 Poured from a 12-oz bottle into a pint glass a cloudy golden color, sort of a shade of orange. Smell of citrus hops and sweet malt just get you ready for the first taste. Excellent balance in the taste as the citrus/lemon hops balance perfectly with the biscuit-like malt. One of the best pale ales I’ve had.

Jun 6, 2008 So I can see why everyone loves this beer...Midas like in color with a 1/2 inch white head. Aroma is like walking through an orange grove...citrus, floral, and grassy. Flavor follows with incredible balance of those characteristics. Not a lot of sugary sweetness but the hops are delicate enough to not need it. WHY CAN’T THIS STUFF BE AVAILABLE IN AZ!!!

Jun 5, 2008 One of the better/best IPAs I’ve had. Superbly crafted. Pours an average appearance- pale light straw color, decent size smooth head. Smells of sticky chunks of bitter oranges. Flavor has a lemon citrus bitterness, tangerines and bittersweet fruit. Light on any malt sweetness, very much hops forward. Awesome ipa.
