Nov 28, 2009 Bomber poured into glass. Very light color of orange and yellow. Small head and HUGE aroma of fruit. The first sip was like a fruit cocktail of pear, white peach, pineapple and guava. Amazing flavor, remarkably clean and refreshing. Not overly bitter, just awesome balance.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle courtesy of bret27. Pours a light gold color with a frothy off-white head. The lightness is actually enticing considering the darker hues of so many awful, oversweet crystal malt bomb IPAs. Aroma is just ridiculous. A huge wave of tropical fruits explodes from the glass. Peach syrup, tangerines, passionfruit, grapefruit, pineapple; I really can’t stop smelling this. The taste is, thankfully, pretty much identical to the aroma, so much so that it was hard to tell when I had stopped inhaling and started imbibing. Fruit salad with a great resinous medium bitterness. Oh and I was so fixated on the fruitiness that I almost didn’t notice the rye, which works to spice up (pun intended) the malt base, which would otherwise be imperceivable. Insanely smooth and drinkable. Just a fantastic IPA.

Nov 18, 2009 Thanks smokepot23 for sharing. Pours a soft pale yellow with a two finger creamy white head. The nose is pungent, citrusy, fruity, very resinous and skunky. Flavor shows citrus rind, spicy, skunky flavors, very resinous oily feel, aroma is a bit better than the flavor. Palate is spicy with a nice medium bitterness that quickly dissipates.

Nov 14, 2009 Bottle shared thanks to warriorsoul. Pours a lightly hazy golden wiht a smaller bubbly white head. Aroma of apricot, grapes, citrus, oranges, tangerines, this is exactly what the NS hops can do. So great this beer is built to highlight the hops. Flavor of grapes, tangerines, bready malt, some rye spcies. Hops featured for sure.
