Bottle... Poured a hazy, dark orange with a nice white head, nice lacing. Sweet hop aroma with flavors of spicy, earthy hops up front-that’s smoothed out by caramel and malt. This is a really delicious brew.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a new-penny amber color with a very slight haze and a medium tan head. Hoppy aroma with a citrus undertone. Flavor is hoppy, yet I was surprised how much the maltiness comes through. Soft mouthfeel and a bitter aftertaste. Good and hoppy, just the way Ilike my beer. I’d like to pair this brew with a fresh-caught mountain stream trout, lightly sauteed in butter, plus rice pilaf and spinach salad.

Sep 6, 2008 Pour amber golden with a nice white head. Aroma is nice citrus and sweet. Flavor somewhat dissapoints bitterness lingers too long. This beer should finish cleaner but it doesn’t. I really don’t understand how this IPA can be in the same league as Furious, AleSmith, and Two hearted. It still is very drinkable and a solid effort.

Sep 5, 2008 Enticing pour with a tan head and a hoppy aroma. Really balanced flavor. Malts and hops intermingle throughout each aspect of the sip.

Sep 4, 2008 Poured a clear brown-amber with a thin and soon-to-depart cream head. Aroma is a potpourri of hops - predominantly citrus. Incredibly sharp grapefruit hops yields to a peppery finish. Hops only teasingly balanced by caramel malt sweetness. Long bitter finish - like a Texas divorce in which custody of a prize smellhound is at stake. Mouthfeel is slightly viscous with medium carbonation. Not for the IPA novice, for sure, but deliciously challenging.
