COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bright sunrise orange in color, this American IPA is boldly hopped with East Kent Goldings, Cascade and locally grown hop varieties to give an intense yet powerfully smooth bitterness. The subtle caramel maltiness only accents the citrus hop highlights. Dry hopped with an incredible 2-1/2 pounds per barrel, this American style IPA is handcrafted to be extraordinarily refreshing.

Brewtopia’04. Lots of grapefruit, my notes are nearly identical to argo0. Has a distinctive citrus pith punch, very east coast IPA-ish. Palate is nicely coating.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - JUN 20, 2004
(brewtopia) Clear light amber body with minimal off-white head. Aroma is grapefruit, just grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some toasty. Medium-full body. Fairly 1D, but a good 1D.

Nice dark amber color with a nice white head that leaves a decent lacing on the glass. Aroma had some nice floral hops. Taste was sweet at first then became very bitter towards the end. Slight mineral taste left afterward.

BuckNaked (1222) - Tempe, Arizona, USA - MAY 16, 2004
Draught: pours clear amber/brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma: less than usual IPA hops, sweetness (sugar, molasses?), slight malt. Flavor: Not as hoppy as I’d like, more malty sweet than average, caramel. Finishes bitter, dry and not very balanced. Overall not a bad beer, but there are many better IPA’s out there.

cherr (162) - Rochester, New York, USA - MAY 12, 2004
The color is a medium brown. The smell is of ?centennial hops. The taste is initally of sweet malt then somewhat of a harsh bitterness. The hops are very nice at the finish. Bittering hops seem to be a bit overpowering. Overall good beer. I had this on tap at MacGregors in Rochester, NY

This one is nothing special, has sort a domestic lager type of taste at times.

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 2, 2004
(Draught) Pours a medium, creamy, beige head and a clear amber body. Pleasant Hi-C hops in the nose and flavour - grapefruit and pine push to the forefront. Good.
