Jun 28, 2008 Growler from SuzyGeenburg, thanks! Man,I finally got a chance to try this stuff. Pours a rusty orange color with small shite head. Aroma was fresh with citrus hops, pine and lemon. The taste the same with light refreshing fruity notes and light malt profile. The finish was bitter and dusty.

Jun 8, 2008 Growler, from Bitbucket. This was an awesome beer. Amber color, sweet pungent floral hop aroma. Flavor is all hops, but it’s strangely balanced. Hoppy, but very very drinkable. An everyday kind of IPA.

Jun 4, 2008 Super high-quality hand bottle from JW77. Thanks a ton! Pours clearish orange yellow with a fluffy white head, good lace, not that great of retention. Smells floral hoppy, citrusy, and slightly nutty. Tastes hoppy floral, nutty, and a touch citrusy sweet. Quite a bit of depth and complexity to the floral hop flavors. Medium body, nice and smooth carbonation. Tasty brew for sure.

May 16, 2008 draft @ brewery and growler for home - clear and dark amber; foaming white head and lots of lacing; fruity and bitter hop aromas mix; very crisp and pleasant; medium body with a sharp bitterness at first sip; nose is very strong and i suspect the other DN brews would have stronger aromas via growler than the muted ones found on draft; not sure why that would be, but was certainly the case here; maybe palate wasn’t shot or i stuck my nose in deeper in the comforts of my home; anyways, one the bitter side but remains very drinkable with a nice touch of sweetness; a pretty much perfect IPA that i’ll be drinking again and again

Apr 12, 2008 Growler, courtesy of after4ever. Thanks, Tom! Pours a gorgeous appearance: clear, bright golden-orange color; fluffy, textured off-white head with excellent and lacing that sticks to the glass; intricate and resilient. Soft, juicy hop oils (earthiness, fruit, and cedar) in the aroma; a touch of what I can only call "dustiness" creeping in; very solid hop character otherwise; nothing rough. A soft level of carbonation with smooth hop oils in the mouthfeel, making this very very drinkable: earthy and citrusy hops; juicy and resinous and generous; excellent, sessionable IPA; I still get a touch of dustiness in the finish, with some toasted grains and breadiness; a soft end to a smooth IPA.
