Bottle. Medium white head with an amber colored liquor. Smells piney, moreso than a lot of west coast IPAs. Slightly floral, sweet, and definately hoppy. Feels very smooth and creamy, bitter finish. Very welll balanced beer . It’s an excellent example of an IPA, but my preference still lies in the west coast IPAs.

Oct 5, 2008 Poured a dark orange, started with a 1/2 inch head that subsided quickly. There wasn’t much of an aroma, but what I did smell was grass. Tastes of malt and citrus like hops. Perfect level of bitterness. You know its there, but it doesn’t take control of all of your tastebuds. Very balanced, very crisp and refreshing. One of the best IPA’s the east coast offers.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. Golden/orange pour, with a smallish white head. Aroma is a citrus hop bomb. Flavor is pretty damn citrus hops as well. Grapefruit peel. Some malt that balances it a bit, but this one has some decent bitterness. Nice beer!

Oct 1, 2008 Bouteille de 330 ml. La bière est de couleur cuivrée avec des reflets rougeâtres et une mousse légèrement beige qui couvre le liquide du début jusqu’à la fin. Au nez on découvre des arômes de houblon puissant, épicé et poivré avec un fond de caramel. En bouche le corps est moyennement rond avec une effervescence moyenne. Le goût est très houblonné et amère. Au début en bouche la bière est douce, ronde et caramélisée, ensuite lorsqu’on avale le houblon revient en force avec une amertume qui persiste longtemps.
