Nov 28, 2007 Somewhat on par with other decent Ipas. Better than the bad ones, not as good as the exceptional ones.

Like diving into a pine forest. Dry, crispy, immensly refreshing!

Nov 25, 2007 Picked this 12oz bottle up from Case & Keg in Florida while visiting family.
Nice color upon pour-an orangey pale amber with a nice foamy head that left lacing throughout the pour and drink. Nice aroma with some bitterness to it-maybe raisins or grapefruit?
Does not taste like a simple IPA to me instead it has some strong fruit tones-particularly the grapefruit that carried through the scents from the pour. There is a dryness to the finish, but it is full of flavor and fairly easy going down.
I dont particularly enjoy the bitterness from this one and instead prefer a more simple IPA, but I do think that it is an interesting brew.

Nov 24, 2007 very light color, good head and lacing... very hoppy as expected. Recommended to me from Bruisin’ Ales in Asheville... good call on this one. I love IPAs and this one just about has it right. Not much malt to it that you can tell over the hops. For a hop heavy beer, you could do worse than this one... and it would be hard to do a lot better...

Nov 23, 2007 Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is a nice dry hop with not much else coming though but that is a good thing. Flavor is super hoppy and bitter with some malts coming through. A very nice example of the style.

Nov 22, 2007 Can you go wrong with an IPA? Flowery bouquet typical of IPA’s was amazing. Bitter aftertaste also amazing. A good one for sure.

Nov 21, 2007 On tap at Map Room, Chicago. The one distiguishing feature of this IPA is a musty flavor-- almost like a farmhouse ale. I don’t know if it’s the hops, yeast, or malt that is giving the flavor, but it had an earthy, musty flavor. It was an above average IPA, but I would not order again since this bar also has Alpha King on tap.
