Jan 6, 2007 Bottle. Strong grapefruit, pineapple, lychee, and resin aroma, bittersweet and heavy. Clear orange with a foamy and fizzly tan head. Nice bready bitterness with grapefruit and resin, honey, lots of hops here. Medium body just doesn’t have a lot of oomph; dry hoppy aftertaste. Soft and warming. Really not sure how I feel about this guy; if I were in a different mood, it could conceivably score a a 3.9 or 4.0. Not a bad choice for a hops fix.

Dec 26, 2006 Couleur rousse cuivrée. La mousse laisse apparaître de belles grosses bulles, mais celle-ci n’est pas très tenace. Très belle odeur houblonnée un brin florale. En bouche, l’amertume se fait très très présente et on observe une certaine rondeur. L’amertume laisse sa place sur la langue longtemps après la dégustation. L’alcool fait sentir sa présence.

Dec 23, 2006 Poured picture perfect-
Most notable is the longevity of the body. Lots of carbonation, but its not mouth shocking. Taste is smoother than the aroma and just as flavorful. Great balance in this delicious smelling and tasting quality brew.
Nice work AVBC-

Dec 21, 2006 Updated: Jan 23, 200712oz bottle. i have no idea how fresh this is. pours a golden color with nice fluffy head. aroma is weak mild pnw hops that seem stale possibly some cat piss in there. the aroma leads me to believe this beer maybe old. flavor also has weak hop presence mild bitterness. the get some points for being balanced and easy to drink. i’ll have to rerate cuz i bought this as a single in an unfamilar store so i’m guessing this is past it’s prime.

Dec 15, 2006 Cloudy amber color with small head. Earthy floral aroma. Flavor was big on hops -- ranging from citrus to bitter, with a mild caramel and malt in the background. Very nice IPA.

Dec 10, 2006 I don’t catch much in aroma or taste besides hop bitterness---which is very well done and lingering. Clear amber color.

Dec 7, 2006 Updated: Sep 5, 200722oz bomber from my SS. Thanks. Can’t believe I have not rated this as this used to be one my staple 6 pacls. Incredibly pungent floral hop aroma. Flavor is equally hoppy, a little bit of honey, and a dry bitter palate. A well done hop-heavy ipa. Remembering why I liked this so much, not as tangy as stone or alesmith , but very nice in its own manner.
