dolemike1 (1105), Owings Mills, Maryland, USA Dec 27, 2006 Orangish amber, with a big white head, hoppy aroma, flavor is quite sweet , with a nice earthy hop finish. Nice beer.
bhensonb (3013), Woodland, California, USA Sep 2, 2008 Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Pours a light mahogany color with a significant beige head. Aroma of resin hop over lightly roasted caramel. Medium+ body with firm and frothy carbonation. Flavor is strong malt with balancing hop. It is a good taste. Maltier than most IPAs, but the bitter stands up to it. Good stuff. dkachur (895), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Aug 6, 2008 12 ounce bottle from Green Leafe Cafe, New Town location. Bronze pour with little black floaties and a big head. Kinda bland earthy hop aroma. Very bitter and earthy hop taste. Medium body. Pleasant, but not very complex. phishpond417 (1459), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jul 28, 2008 Excellent IPA, right on target for the style: pours a dark amber with a full sized off white head. Floral, grapefruit, slightly piney and fresh hops on the nose. Taste is mildly acidic, but packs a powerful punch of stanky hops. Citrusy all the way through. Finish is long. nearbeer (1330), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jul 19, 2008 12 oz with no batch code stamp. Mostly clear, reddish copper with a large, sticky head that lasts. Pine resin, molasses, caramel, bready yeast and slight lemon in the aroma. Earthy flavors of resin, peppery oak, and pith more than balance the slight orange and molasses sweetness. A hint of metal at times. Long, dry and bitter finish on this smooth, medium-bodied brew.
SpudClampDawg (949), Jasper, Indiana, USA Jul 17, 2008 12oz bottle: Reddish copper pour with an everlasting off white head. Muddled malt aroma that is more focused on sweetness than hops. Lots of chewy caramel and dough, followed by whispers of citrus and lemon. The bitterness is surprisingly subtle. More caramel in the body - so much so that it is really chewy. The hops are a bit more in the forefront, with faded citrus and perfumey notes. Everything is kind of a mess here. Unremarkable.
