What a great beer! Matches its commercial description exactly. And I especially like the lack of fruitiness which I’ve grown to dislike in very hoppy beers. Poured with a nice head which lasted for quite a while and plenty of lace. Very aromatic hoppy maltiness in the nose. Good mouth if perhaps just the barest hint of being thin. Intense savory flavor is all the aroma is but so much more. Quite satisfying yet continuosly intriguing. Excellent finish. Had this one on draft at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wis.

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.
