Aubrey (2614), Denver, Colorado, USA Nov 1, 2002 Updated: Dec 7, 2003 Re-Rate: Great stuff, from a great brewery. Big & tasty malt flavors meld perfectly with the hops. Very well-balanced and tasty. Not overly hoppy, but nevertheless, very enjoyable. A finely made product! Over time, this beer has become a regular item in my refrigerator. Beware, it is very addictive. The malts grow on you like a fungus, and the hops grow on you like a virus. At first, I only thought this beer was 'pretty good.' Now, I see it as a lifeblood staple. Hook, line, and sinker.
CoachJT (21), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Oct 11, 2008 12 oz bottle pour. Deep golden, almost red color, nonexistent head. Wonderfully hoppy aroma, taste to match. Great hoppy brew. rustychiles (480), Mesa, Arizona, USA Oct 11, 2008 Pours a deep golden red color with a nice off white head. Aroma of hops malt. Flavor is hops, caramel, malt with a little bittering in the finish. Good IPA. Jsawyer (24), , Pennsylvania, USA Oct 10, 2008 bottled. Pours a wonderful deep amber. Pours a nice crust head at first, clear evidence of a nice alcohol presence, evaporates rather quickly. Nice lacing however. Light floral hop aroma slightly grapefruit citrus. Taste sweet citrus and floral taste with a good amount of honey bitterness. Well balanced sweet and bitter. Nice lasting finish. Solid IPA. CptGreencoat (16), Kettering, Ohio, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottle. Poured to a very cloudy deep gold color. Nearly no head whatsoever. Light floral hoppy aroma. Very fruity and crisp with just enough hops for me to consider this an IPA. The flavors/feels are beautifully balanced and nothing overpowers the other. It finishes bitter and fast, as a good IPA should. An excellent choice for hop lovers. Lt_Dan (66), Greater Los Angeles Area, California, USA 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.
