750mL bottle with WCampbell. Strange aroma for an IPA, pour is hazy amber. The taste is okay, too hoppy and bitter for me personally.

Jun 18, 2008 Finally, a great beer from their variety case. Hops aroma, cloudy golden color, Huge Head and lacing, big sweet malty toffee taste with hint of fresh yeast citrus, and a great hops finish.

Jun 6, 2008 650 ml bottle from Linus_stick. Pours a slightly cloudy copper color with a huge off-white head that had good retention and left plenty of lacing. Aroma is complex with earth, spices (thyme and white pepper) and some citrus. The flavor showcases a high IBU profile with distinctly biter cascade hops taking center stage. In addition to the hops there is a good presence of caramel and citrus. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is long giving way to lingering biter hops. Overall: A very well crafted IPA. Thanks again Linus.

Jun 1, 2008 Bottle from Beerman6686. Gushes out of the bottle and pours a glass that is almost all head. The beer is an shade of amber. After scooping out some foam and letting it settle, I finally got to enjoy. Had a nice earthy herbal hop aroma with a light toasty malt. More earthy hops in the flavor come through as herbal, dirt, and a touch of pot. A nice toasted malt aspect balances the beer out. I liked the hop profile of this one, as it was hoppier than expected, but not big bitter pine and grapefruit like the West Coast. Enjoyable.

May 24, 2008 22 oz. bomber at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured clear copper with nice white head. Would like to know the hop profile as the label says the beer changes according to season. This brew was certainly the earthy and malty type. Decent malt backbone. Finished mildly dry, not as bitter as other IPAs.
