altonbrownd (1862), Amsterdam, Netherlands Apr 21, 2009 Bottle from a bodega in Brooklyn. Orange body with rocky head. Hoppy nose. Taste of citrus, hops and pine. Sweet and grapefruity finish. Hoppy heaven. monkeychugg55 (207), Joliet, Illinois, USA Apr 20, 2009 Pours clear faded orange with a white head. Smells of mostly piney hops with a bit of citrus and astringency.. Mouthfeel is thin, but slightly oily. Flavor is mostly bitter hops, not much more than that. Seems unbalanced to me. Imo it is reminiscent of a macro pale lager with an ass- ton of hops shoved into it, as if the hops are too strong for the whole composition of the beer. lumpsowers (235), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA Apr 12, 2009 Cloudy straw pour, big frothy head, serious lacing. Bitter piney aroma. Bitter, piny…(I think I had a bit to drink at this point…)
snakeoilpete (324), Seattle, Washington, USA Apr 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear golden amber with a nice yellowish white head. Nose is funky pine/citrus hops. The finish is better than the initial taste - only the faintest biscuit malt backing, but a nice bitter grapefruit hoppiness that lingers. Pwn3d (1036), Manhattan, New York, USA Apr 8, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a pretty huey orange/yellow body.. looks like a hefe. Nose is heavily citrus, orange peel, lemon/lime, and pine. Robust hop flavor, less piney and now grapefruit citrus tang coupled with some doughiness. Bitter finish which is a must to be good in this style. Citrus, pine, citrus 3.75 davidajensen (31), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Apr 5, 2009 This is a bit too dry to be an easy drinking session beer. Consumed with food is probably the best way to go.
This beer is well crafted. I imagine it tastes exactly like the brewer wanted it to taste. It isn’t my favorite beer, but I appreciate the quality.
popephred (193), Plainfield, Illinois, USA Apr 3, 2009 Poured from the bottle into a tulip glass. Pour produced a honey-colored body, topped by a small, white head which had some decent lacing. A pleasant citrus/pine aroma is to be had from this IPA. Medium mouthfeel, with light, crisp carbonation. Overall flavor profile is bitter and dry, typical of the style. The palate is a bit woody, with a slight sweetness eking through. This is a solid IPA, which would be enjoyed by all lovers of hops. OzarkElmo (117), Poplar Bluff, Missouri, USA Mar 25, 2009 Updated: Jun 3, 2009From Bottle into Tulip. Poured hazy golden yellow with medium head which mostly diminishes but lingers with the lacing. Aroma of citrus, pine. Hoppy taste and to me quite dry and bitter, especially in the finish. But that is what they tell you to expect. Overal a good, well above-average American IPA - and a map to boot - Cheers!
