EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA Jun 28, 2008 Clear golden color. Bright hoppy aroma with pine needles reminiscent of a gin and tonic. Nice, easy drinking citrus and bitters flavor. Very balanced. A great one to share with friends. Ceebs25 (217), Naperville, Illinois, USA Jun 25, 2008 Bottle. Pretty light nose, spring floral hop aroma with small malty accents. Kind of a weak pour, some light with fizzy head, remains but minimally, no lacing, light golden color, some carbonation. Taste is pretty solid though, good citrus, lemony hop taste throughout, with a decent fruity grain malt through the end and finish to balance nicely, pretty smooth, a crisp mouthfeel at first, not too light. Overall, i like the good balance, can’t complain. bleeng (587), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA Jun 25, 2008 Cask at the Flying Saucer Addison TX 6/24/08. Tulip glass (!). Bright gold, no head and cold for a cask beer. Nose is hoppy but subdued by the cold. Taste is sweet, alcoholy, hoppy but not overwhelming. A bit floral and nosey. I think the cold temp killed this one. redgold07 (308), Irving, Texas, USA Jun 23, 2008 Pours a clear golden/straw color. Aroma is floral... of hops, citrus, and spice. Flavor is more of the same. A solid IPA.
On tap. Vas19 (292), Maryland, USA Jun 22, 2008 From bottle. Aroma is hops, floral and citrus. Flavor is more hops, not quite enough balancing malt though. OK IPA. GMUcrew7 (353), Mason, Ohio, USA Jun 21, 2008 Clear golden liquid with 2 fingers of white head. Mostly citrus aroma with orange playing the lead. Give it credit where it is due, this beer certainly isn’t a hop bomb, but it is an excellent balance of the malts and the somewhat bitter citrus hops. Nice creamy body, a beer that might not wow you but is a great example of a straightforward IPA. AleDrinker (1090), Sunnyvale, California, USA Jun 21, 2008 Pours golden with big frothy head. Lots of hops in this one, some citrus, pine, and even a little spruce. Not much malt to balance. A little thin. Not bad but there are certainly much better ones out there. sja14 (105), Ohio, USA Jun 20, 2008 Nice crisp IPA with citrus undertones. Would be great on a hot summer day.
