12oz bottle pours out crisp golden topped with a white head. Nose is floral pine hops and some grain. Tatse is more of the nice hop combo floral some pine citrus and bread malts.

From Aug 2007 I got this bottle in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks, John! Pours from 12oz bottle a cloudy light gold with a nice big head of foam that fades after a while but every time I take a sip and put my glass down, there's *another* close to 1" layer staring at me from the glass and...there's lots of sticky lacing. The smell is very hoppy with notes of pine and citrus. The taste, well, it's hoppy as hell with big pine and grapefruit profiles but there must be just enough malt in there because I don't find it overly bitter except right near and through the finish. Man, that grapefruit is ruling it now and it makes me want to take sip after sip and at only 5%abv, I'm definitely going to indulge myself. Btw, if I want to bring out the bitterness more, I just swish it in my mouth and then, my mouth puckers a bit. lol. This is a damn good IPA and a fun one to drink. How do I know it's fun? After every sip, I find myself smiling. ;^) Bottom line: This is my first Haverhill brew and boy am I impressed!

Smells of malt, with maybe a slight hint of hops. Nice golden amber color. For an IPA this doesn't have much hop flavor, just malt really

Bottle at the RBWG 2014 grand tasting, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. ARoma has a bit of grassiness with light pine and a light grain backing. Flavor has more resinous pine with light grains and a hint of grass.

Taster at RBWG 2014 grand tasting - thanks to the person who shared this! Clear orange yellow color. Thin white head. Dots of lace. Good orange citrus aroma, nice pine, light biscuity caramel malt. Holy cow, this is only 5%? Very good aroma for the very light ABV. Light to medium body. Very smooth, lighter carbonation, more dry finish. Moderate sweet, light bitter taste. A solid, quasi session IPA.
