May 14, 2009 Tasted as part of the Avery Experience at Brouwer’s. Pours the color of apple cider, with a small head. Citrus hops in the aroma, with an interesting note on the finish - almost like pear. Hugely bitter, with a great, full flavor for a single IPA. I’d pick up a sixer of this stuff any day.

May 9, 2009 On tap as the special of the week at Brixie’s in Brookfield, IL. Pint served a light gold tone, with a thick, frothy head and foamy, clingy lacing. The aroma was smooth malt, citrus and pine, with the pine having the upper hand. The flavor presented more of a balance of the two resulting in a nice hop astringency tempered by a hint of malt sweetness. A good, standard American IPA.

May 7, 2009 6 pack from total beverage in Westminster. Medium yellow, foamy white head. Nice hoppy aroma - more foaral than anything. Good taste - lots of malt for a thin to medium (yet carbonated) body, but lots of fora hops. A really easy drinking flavorful IPA with a surprising amount of malt. Good stuff.

May 6, 2009 piney/citrusy hop aroma was great. the hops were obviously what dominated the palate, but they werent so overpowering as to make this beer offensive.

May 5, 2009 Really potent hops aroma and a very strong bitter taste. Smooth palate and a very intoxicating aroma. Well balanced.

May 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours orange-gold with a sizable head. Aroma is soapy, hoppy, and floral. Didn’t catch much of the “lychee” that I originally detected trying this beer for the first time. Body is crisp, bitter from the onset, herbal and lightly fruity. Fruit present leans towards underripe tart/bitter orange. Pretty good, I found it quite thirst-quenching while eating some greasy fries!
