Mar 7, 2008 22 oz bomber from adrian910ss, thanks Adrian. Pours a slightly hazy orangey amber with an average size frothy white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee and slight grapefruit. Medium bodied that leaves a creamy mouthfeel and finishes slightly bitter. Flavor is alcohol, malts, bread and slight citrus hops. This is like the fifth IPA I have had in the last few weeks that has passed it’s prime. The hops in this beer faded quicker then Rudy Guiliani’s presidential possibilities.

Mar 6, 2008 Pours a wonderful cloudy amber/orange color with big carbonation which produces a decent head and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is resiny, orange peel, grapefruit, floral and carmelly sweet. Flavor is a wonderful combination of NW hops and caramel roasted barley. Has a nice hop bite but not as overdone as many California IPAs. Big sticky texture, finishes long and piney bitter. This would be my every day beer if I could get it!

Mar 5, 2008 Bottle thanks to LeopoldStoch, thanks for hooking me up Brandon. Pours a clear golden-copper color with a thick, rocky off-white head that left great lacing. Aroma of spicy pine and resin with nice citrus (grapefruit) back. Opens up with a nice citrus flavor and some malty sweetness that leads into a piny, resiny hop hit that fades slowly and lingers with some more citrus and fruity undertones. Feels great on the palate, just the right amount of carbonation and hop bitterness. Definitely a first class beer, thanks again for the bottle Butters, I appreciate it.

Feb 29, 2008 Aroma is citrusy, floral and light airy yeasts. Flavor is citrus, huge, in your face floral hops, light fruits, a balancing malt spine, so damn good. A big ass beer for being only 7.25%. Im a hophead at heart, but you tell me. Could this brewery have a more fitting name?

Feb 29, 2008 Bottle at patrick767 gathering. Small fizzy ivory head that mostly diminished, very little lacing, carbonation noted, semi-transparent, and an orange brown hue. Nose was caramel, citrus, pine, hoppy, fruity, sweet, and malty. Flavor was hoppy, Ditto for the flavor. Tingly mouthfeel and medium body. For not being a hophead, I truly enjoyed this IPA. It was a delight to drink, worthy of a try and I would absolutely drink this one again if the opportunity presented itself.

Feb 23, 2008 Thanks to Riverside ak for this! Pours gold with fluffy white head and some decent lacing. Sweet citrusy fresh hops on the nose. Very similar flavor profile with a very becoming vanilla citrus like finish. This is a perfect blueprint on how do an IPA

Feb 20, 2008 Bottle courtesy of alohac (thanks!). Pours a hazy orange with large white head. Tiny bubbles, just like the bottle said. Decent retention and great lacing. Aroma is grapefruity hops along with some other vaguely sweet fruit as well. Taste is hoppy all the way; more grapefruit coming in, along with some pine and a little malty sweetness. Way too easy to drink. Average palate with a smooth, bitter finish. An excellent IPA, no doubt.

Feb 17, 2008 Pours a nice golden color with a white head. This was a very strong IPA, felt more like a double/imperial to me. Excellent flavor, but bitterness might have dominated a bit too much for me. But admittedly a lot of that is based on my own expectations, as I went in thinking it would be a smaller beer. No matter the category, a top notch beer.
