zaschell (12), , Washington, USA Jan 6, 2009 Updated: Jan 31, 2009A pretty distinct IPA. I had about a dozen while bowling the other night, and they were definitely a lot nicer than the Manny’s my friends were drinking (nothing against Manny’s, I’ve just had it a ton). Typical hoppy taste but with a cirtusy kick. Didn’t see much head, but the waitress was probably letting them sit a few minutes before bringing them over. ericyyz (6), three bridges, New Jersey, USA does not count Dec 24, 2008 12 oz bottle. light straw color with a thin white head. faint aroma of citrus hops. a nice refreshing beer, just does not have the hop power that I would expect from an IPA. alaskans must not drink very hoppy beers... LooseCannon (914), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Dec 9, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with foamy white head. Aroma citrus hops and light malt. Taste cotrus hops and grapefruit with grapefruit bitter finish. Skinnyviking (4142), Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 21, 2008 Draught. High creamy and lasting white head. Clear yellow body. Dry fruity lemon grapefruit aroma and flavor. High carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste. Gypsy19 (603), California, USA Oct 16, 2008 A little weak for an IPA in my opinion, but decent overall. It’s a very ordinary IPA, indistinguishable from so many other IPAs, though a little less flavorful than most also. Drinkable; Nothing more, nothing less. kmweaver (2396), Sebastopol, California, USA Oct 8, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a bright, clear, medium tarnished copper color; mixed-bubbled white head with good retention and lacing. Basic earthy and citrus bitterness in the aroma; a touch watery. Medium mouthfeel: lots of chewy, slightly astringent earthy and citrus-laden hoppiness upfront; very light metallic note present, with a basic candy sugar malt character; strong bitterness and a touch of astringency; slightly off. Medium finish: citrus and earthy bitterness, basic core maltiness, and some floral notes. iowaherkeye (1832), Bakersfield, California, USA Oct 5, 2008 22oz bomber, stamped A092008--something about September 20th? Hopefully not the best by date. Purchased @ Bottle Barn. Aroma has pine and pine air fresheners, light perfume, and some watered-down caramel malts. Clear golden with a one finger off-white head, fading to a think film and thick ring. Flavor leans more malty, though not watered-down this time. There is still the soft pine notes, and floral perfume does come across a bit in the finish, which is semi-dry. Bitterness peaks at a 3-4. Moderate carbonation with a medium body. A good IPA. Not a West Coast hop bomb, but good. fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Oct 5, 2008 Draught at the Yardhouse, Las Vegas Deep blond color. Light hop aroma. some caramel flavor with light sweetness, some hopping. Unoffensive.
