Petrucci914 (374), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Oct 6, 2008 Pours an amber color with a small off-white head and some webs of lacing. Aroma is lightly malty with piney hops. Taste is about the same - pretty good but nothing memorable. bdigi66 (456), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 30, 2008 Bottle: Pours a light copper color with a decent-sized white head...fair retention and lacing. Light malts, resiny hops...and not much else, maybe some mild citrus notes. Flavor follows, dry bitter finish. Not sure how old this was but it was very mediocre. taalhiker (111), Dayton, Ohio, USA Sep 30, 2008 from bottle. Part of April Dayton Beertasting event.
Pours clear amber with long lasting head. Aroma of piney hops.
Good mouthfeel but finished flat. surlysober (40), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Sep 29, 2008 FIRST TRIAL: Pours a nice deep orange with a fluffy, off-white head; aroma is a touch grainy along with bitter hops and a hint of citrus; flavor is bitterness in the forefront and slightly grainy and vegetable-y maltiness; smooth mouthfeel and a bitter, slightly warm finish polishes this beer off nicely. Overall, this beer isn’t bad, but not particularly spectacular either, especially when compared to the wealth of great IPAs out there. A decent IPA, that I could see myself drinking again in the future, but nothing I’d rush out to buy again. kmeves (1009), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA Sep 29, 2008 Pours a semi cloudy orange with a small off white head. Aroma is medium sweet with caramel and fruity hops. The flavor is very dry and highly hopped but lacks a good malt backbone that would improve this beer. Very piney and grapefruity. Light to medium bodied, sticky texture. Long bitter finish.
