Jun 20, 2006 amber in appearance with massive light brown head...huge aroma of sweet malts and floral and bitter finishing hops...flavor is quite hoppy, with hints of grapefruit, flowers, and diacetyl...finishes quite bitter and dry...an interesting IPA

Jun 20, 2006 Deep copper-brown with big foamy white head which faded slowly, stranding intricate lace along the length of its fall. Aromas of floral hops, vanilla, peaches, citrus, juniper, cardamom, citrus, malt and alcohol. Big hop flavor -- grapefruit and juniper -- with notes of tar, pitch, candy sugar, orange and lemon, black pepper, herbs, with malt lurking in the background. Bitter dry finish. Mouthfeel is good, slightly oily and not too bubbly.

Jun 20, 2006 Somewhat soft citrus aroma, and I really tried to find it, someone forgot the aroma hops or added them to early. that beautiful amber orange color, WOW, bigtime hit of grapefruit taste and bitterness,now thats what I’m talking about, perhaps the biggest ,fullest citrus taste I’ve experienced in a first sip. That intensity doesn’t hold up forever but you get a reminder on every sip. I guess there was some malt backbone there,but this is all about the grapefruit hop taste. Required for hopheads

Jun 19, 2006 Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white head. Strong hoppy nose. Real hopbomb in flavour, but still manages to be wellbalanced and smooth. Quite typical IPA, but "richer" hops.

Jun 18, 2006 Bronze pour....hazy, fast disappearing whitish head. Typical citrus hoppy aroma...some spiciness. Piney flavor, mild malts...quite bitter as expected, thin mouthfeel. Tasty, but not one that grabs me.

Jun 13, 2006 Pours a cloudy medium amber. Aromas of hops/hops/sweet malts. Flavor grapefruit with a little sweetness and finishes with a nice bite.

Jun 12, 2006 Copper color with an orangy thick, orangy head. Very smooth. Burst of fruit right before it goes down. Nice hoppy bite. A definate repeat buy.

Jun 11, 2006 Golden-amber body with a very light white head. Hop aroma is evident, but also combined with an undefinable earthy tone. Very nice taste and body, sharp and bitter yet with complexity. Overall, a very nice IPA.
