Jan 4, 2009 Thanks to jah noth for the bottle! 22oz bomber pours a slightly hazy goldish orange with a nice off white head. Aromas of citrus, grapefruit, and resin. Flavors are very much the same, hoppy, citrusy goodness.

Jan 3, 2009 Amber pour with a big old sticky white head. Big spicey, fresh, vegetable hop aroma. Flavor is huge on the hops, or hop, i guess. Kind of cool to try Simcoe on display like this, and who knew it was copywritten? Really awesome, tasty IPA.

Dec 31, 2008 Very sweet spicy floral hop aroma. Slight malt sweetness, but mostly a refined hop spice/sweetness. The flavor is warming bitterness, more of a spicy hop than a bitter hop, and it follows with a nice full mouthfeel that lingers on the tongue. Nice to be able to pick up a 4 pack at the local grocery store.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle pours clear deep gold with a monster head and lot of lace. The aroma is honey and hops. The flavor is very hop forward, with some solid sweetness below. Palate is rich and substantial. Overall, this is sweet!

Dec 21, 2008 well darn. you know you have got a stellar IPA when you crack open the bottle and it does battle with the yet-to-wither Christmas tree in the front den. IPA 1...Christmas tree 0. pours into clouds of amber-orange confusion, braced for sappy seduction, and levels out a nice fluffy head that would do well caked onto a pecan pie. The brew is hopped all over the place, and has that Two Hearted Ale taste. I would say that if the place was out, I would substitute this brew for ye ol 2 hearts. Anyhow. Very chewy. Some earth tones, crisp and sweet, but not cloyingly. The last part of the brew breaks down a bit. not sure if theyve got it just right to hold it all together. still, not a bad sauce from...East PA..to the tune of Born In East LA of course.

Dec 20, 2008 12 oz. bottle - Poured a hazy honey color with medium head.
Aroma - Stinky hops and sour milk. Fowl and rotten
Flavor - Wow this stuff is nasty. Could not finish this one. Rotten fowl taste, maybe I had a bad bottle??
Palate - astingent hop taste with very strange aftertaste. Like chewing on a Dandelion.
Overall - How in the heck does this beer get such a high rating. The first taste gave me that bitter nasty face. Hard to swallow?!?!
