Powerful nose of grassy hops. Full bodied with a silky, smooth texture. Strong hoppy bitterness with a good amount of malt to balance it out and a clean finish. Very satisfying.

Such an undistinguished and frankly unsavorable logo on the bottle, I had never thought of buying this one and giving ’er a go. I regret not doing so sooner. Delicious and full of flavors, yet not overpowering and light enough to make a session. This is a very good beer.

Pours a cloudy mango amber into my imperial pint glass. Big fluffy head, with lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is great; soft piney hops (but strong and prevalent), cider, pineapple. Flavor is awesome of course. Hops galore, grapefruit, pineapple, crisp apples. Delicious. Very drinkable, soft and easy. scoobysnak (249), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 8, 2008 My new favorite IPA. This is absolutely delicous. A good foamy white head. Color is a dark gold, with really good lacing. Smells hopsy, with a good flower smell to it. Taste is phenomenal, great hoppy flavor that goes down ever so smoothly. Delicous. cbeers21 (589), Miami, Florida, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Aug 28, 2007 Updated: Sep 28, 2008Copper orange with finger sized head and good lacing. Floral piney hops and quiet citrus aromas mark this brew and presented a hoppy, but not dominating scent. The perfumey/floral hops are prevalent on the taste but are extremely well balanced by cereal malts, citrus and caramel sweetness. This is one of the best IPAs I have ever had because of its directness, and its beautiful balance. While I do enjoy a strongly hopped IPA, I prefer one which is in harmony with other factors in order to produce a great and well-balanced brew. corby112 (783), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 26, 2008 One of the best examples of a well balanced IPA. Pours a hazy golden orange with a foamy white head. Beautiful aroma of floral and citrus hops with a solid malt backbone. One of the smoothes easieest drinking IPAs I’ve ever had. A nice balance of maltiness and citrus and floral hops. Awesome! amishcaravan (239), Winona, Minnesota, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 18, 2008 One of the best IPAs that I have ever had. Smells of hops and fruit and flowers. Taste is the same and leaves a very pleasent after taste in the mouth. I will certainly purchase this again and again.
