Aug 1, 2007 Nice copper color with big fluffy white head. The aroma has some grapefruit, pine and malt but very subtle. Hoppy taste with some citrus and malt in there also. This is a very nice tasting IPA, not so overdone like some Avery beers.

Jul 28, 2007 Clear, golden amber appearance with an average size white head and good lacing. Heavy dose of resinous hops in the aroma with a herbal note on the edge. Citrusy hop taste, dominated by grapefruit. Medium-bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel. "Malty finish"? Maybe buried deep on the aftertaste. But the only balance seems to be with the variety of hops. Crisp, bitter, lingering finish. Very drinkable.

Jul 26, 2007 Poured from bottle...brilliant orange with bright yellow amber around glass. Head all but disappears leaving a nice ring on top of brew...sharp grapefruit aroma...very hoppy in scent. Very hoppy in flavor also...sharp sharp...not as bitter as I would like...leaning abit the other way (that made a great deal of sense). Decent beer...above average but does not have that special something.

Jul 26, 2007 Bright orange in colour, good sized white coloured head - very creamy, good retention, great lacing. The aroma is floral, some pine and grapefruit, light caramel malts but the hops dominate. The chewy hops carry over into the flavour along with some caramel sweetness, lots of pine and some grass. Dry mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes with a lingering hop bitterness. This is pretty good, Avery’s smaller beers have much more balance then some of there bigger beers. Not a whole lot of balance here but I can’t really complain.
