Mar 10, 2008 650ml bottle from Bev4less in Santee. Pours a pours a translucent copper-gold color with a big sudsy white head. The lasted a long while and left good lacing. The aroma was moderate in strength with plenty of pepper spice and a bit of sweet biscuit. The flavor was very hops forward (as an IPA should be). Besides biter hops, there is a fair amount of biscuit, sour grapefruit, and white pepper. The mouthfeel is full, malty and smooth. The finish is long with a lingering sour note. Overall: Not my favorite IPA, the sour flavor seemed out of place here. Not recommended.

Oct 3, 2007 I ordered this at the Yardhouse the other night and drank it before it really struck me as a great beer. I guess for that reason I’d give it a very drinkable nod, but I would not seek this one out if you want to be impressed. I remember some strong hop presence in both the flavour and nose, but a fairly watery body.

Dec 10, 2005 bomber to shaker / had this with a spicy appetizer that consists of fresh baked french bread, creme cheese, and il primo giardiniera... mmm, anyway / this beer really cut the spice, and it was smooth as hell, so i obviously finished it pretty quickly. this beer is most memorable in ts sweetness, which consisted of creamy caramel, and some nuts. there was a bit of pine, and a pinch of citrus, also. a dirty brown color taints this brew... pretty good brew, but not really an IPA.

May 6, 2006 Bottle, from Hi-Time Cellar. Orange-amber color, aroma is strange and not at all as expected for an IPA. I assume that this bottle has a production problem or infection, way too many off flavors.

Jun 23, 2005 Updated: Jun 27, 2005Dark golden amber color and a lot of head with a slightly malty aroma. Clean hops flavors dominate finished with a rounded mouth feel. Indeed very well balanced.

Apr 28, 2008 very very average beer. it tastes like an ipa would taste if it were made by miller. a little sour and unlike the commercial description just seems out of balance.

Nov 6, 2005 22 oz bomber. Pours a cloudy medium copper with a white foamy head. Aroma is malts, nuts, and caramel. The taste follows with mild citrus and pine also. Has a good amount of hop bitterness in the finish. Not too shabby.

Jul 23, 2006 On tap pours golden/orange with nice head retention. Light floral hop aroma. Taste is dull with not much hop flavor and no malt backbone. A one of a kind beer to say the least.
