abcfan (139), USA Apr 14, 2008 Very nice brew. Smells kind of sweet for an IPA, no overwhelming hop aroma more like orange and brown sugar. Tastes much the same. Very smooth. Would drink again.
Beershine (1131), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Aug 6, 2008 Dark amber, clear. Lots of rising bubbles. Small off-white head dissipates fast. Some bandaids in the aroma but not unpleasant. Floral hops, lots of petals, leaves, and grass blades but clean and not a muddled bouquet. Gentle mouthfeel, medium bodied. Smooth and clean flavors with nice sturdy backbone of malt to support the delectable hops. Bitterness is in the dandelion/bitter greens zone and is a nice hop profile. The roasted malt and the hop harmonize, finding many flavor notes in common. Harmonious, grounded, straightforward, and balanced brew. juiceisloose (284), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 2, 2008 Pours an amberish orange color with a big, foamy white head that leaves sheets of lacing behind. I can smell the hops as I pour into the glass. Citrus hops along with piney and earthy hops are most notable along with a touch of caramel malt. The flavor follows suit with the hops and citrus notes present along with the caramel malt in the background. Medium bodied with a slight syrupy feel to it. This has a nice sweet flavor with the botterness showing on the finish. Pretty good ipa, but not my favorite of the style. jredmond (593), New Jersey, USA Aug 1, 2008 12 oz bottle. Had this awhile back. Dont remember anything about it, except it poured an amber body with a strong aroma of hops. The taste is obvi hops as well. Tejas (595), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 30, 2008 Not so great especially compared to double simcoe. Can’t describe it but this one seems off somehow. Seems like a big hoppy mess and I tried two bottles and both were the same. mgumby10 (1584), West Palm Beach, Florida, USA Jul 29, 2008 Pours crystal clear amber with a small light tan head. Smells of real sharp hops, some malt characters, and a little weed character too. The flavor is more on the bitter side, pretty hoppy, with a pretty rich malt resence as well. Still almost kind of acidic to go alnong with the bitterness. Wasnt feeling it too much. Needed more balance to get rid of that punishing bitterness. Not my favorite IPA.
