TBRussell (1), , Indiana, USA does not count Jul 16, 2008 A really nice IPA available in a six pack......which is hard to find. Nice amber color, nose is is not overpowering, but not subtle in the least. Mild(for an IPA) hops with a kick of spice on the finish. Perfect party beer for the craft lover. moelikebeer (89), New Brighton, Minnesota, USA Jul 15, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber pour with a medium head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of floral hops, grapefruit and sweet malt. Similar flavor with a bitter hop finish. gkao007 (17), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA Jul 15, 2008 High bitters. As suggested, the 90 IBUs is quite overwhelming.
Hoppy nose and initial flavor is pleasant.
But the bitters are one dimensional and doesn’t harmonize with the malts very well. Over all, it’s a good beer, but I disagree with the 98 ranking. NDbeerdrinker (32), North Carolina, USA Jul 14, 2008 Darker for an IPA, pours a burnt orange with a small white head. Aroma is both sweet and spicy with nice hops. Taste is hoppy but especially malty compared to some other IPA’s. Hops come through in the finish and have a nice little bite. Pleasant drinking beer. greydog (2), New Jersey, USA does not count Jul 13, 2008 Fine brew w/ good hoppiness. Doesn’t deserve to be too cold when drinking. I get some roasted chestnut from it with a bite at the finish. Finished half a case at the lake last weekend by the open fire.
