12oz bottle-pours a foamy rich light tan head that laces and copper color. Aroma is resin/some citrus rind, sweet caramel-medium malt. Taste is light resin/some citrus rind hops bite, sweet caramel-medium malt. Nice, easy IPA, may be a bit thin. Thanks decaturstevo for sharing.

had this on tap at the Hotel in Corning. Very nice IPA, sl haze golden color, some florals and mostly about the hops all the way to the bitter finish. Not much play by Malt.

Pours a mahogany body with an off white head. Strong pine and hop resins with a hint of copper. Pine grass and a moderate amount of caramel malt to balance. Strong cloying bitter earthy almost metallic lingering. Wouldn’t drink again.

Bottle thanks to Skyinbrian. Pours a coppery color. Nose is sweet and definitely has EKG, though minimal cascades. I get some dust from the crystal malt as well. On taste, hoppier than I anticipated, kind of an astringent bitterness as well. Little to no caramel malt flavor and a touch skunky tasting. It’s alright.

12oz bottle. I worked for Wagner’s for two years. During my 2 years, I spent much time at the fabled "House," where general cacophony occurred nightly. Upon exploring the basement of The House, a few coworkers and myself discovered several bottles of beer, aged nearly 5 years. These bottles, and The House, had belonged to the owner of Wanger’s- legendary Bill Wagner. We drank these beers like little regard for history, and soon regretted it. These beers had aged like a cheap Parisian trollop. 1 of these lethal brews was enough to cause fall-down drunkenness. Nevertheless, we soldiered on...

bottle: bronzish amber color, thick head with nice lacing..musty caramel aroma with subtle notes of lemongrass and mint...sweet candyish flavors with much more malt presence than needed or wanted...somewhat stale tasting

Bottle. Pours a hazy brown with a small white head. Aroma of caramel malt and light fruits. Flavor of caramel malt, some sweet fruits (tropical fruits, maybe a little banana), with a bittering finish. There is a slight vegetal quality to the malt. This is an ok IPA, not that hoppy really, definitely more malty. Still, a pleasant beer to drink.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewery. A very hoppy ipa, and that is definately a good thing. Straw color, just enough of a malt backbone to suffort the lovely floral and slightly citrusy hop flavor. Finish has a nice bitter bite, but still just barely in balance with everything else. My wife (a recently converted hop head) liked this one too.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Aroma of rich, caramel malt, semi-resinous, citrusy/tropical hops. Flavor brings no surprises, though there seems to be a touch too much malt for the nice tropical fruit characteristics to shine through at all times. A bit muddy, including some astringency. Bitter finish that outlasts the astringency. Some positive aspects, some negative.
