henry3r (586), Wichita, Kansas, USA Feb 13, 2007 The 12 ounce bottle poured a crystal clear perfectly amber beverage with a medium-sized white creamy head that was mostly diminishing and left good lacing on the glass. The aroma was moderately hoppy with the major contributions coming from floral and grassy notes. There was also a subtle background of earthy leather. The body was medium-full with lively carbonation and a sharp crisp texture. The flavor starts out lightly bitter with citrus peel flavors and it stays that way through the medium length finish. luckygirl (1221), Boulder, Colorado, USA Feb 10, 2007 Bottled. Beer is clear, light brown. Head is initially larger side, frothy, white. Diminishes.<P>
The aroma is dominated by a heavy note of resin/pine, light notes of apricot and grapefruit; Malty with light notes of cracker and toasted grain; Trace-to-light note of yeasty dough; Trace miscellaneous note of pepper.<P>
The flavor is heavily bitter, moderately sweet with a long, grippy, moderately bitter, lightly sweet finish.<P>
The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively. mrdeath5493 (108), Arkansas, USA Feb 10, 2007 Hoppy Smell. Hoppy taste. Not enough room in this beer to taste anything but the hops. However, it was very enjoyable. thefederalist (226), Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA Feb 6, 2007 Updated: Mar 1, 2007Clear and golden copper in color. Dense grassy aroma. Powerfully hoppy flavor with lots of grass and citrus notes. Malt profile is slightly underdeveloped, but not badly so. Definately a drinkable IPA if a tad simple. Zimmo (57), Siloam Springs, Arkansas, USA Feb 1, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours light copper with medium white head and significant lacing. Strong hops aroma and grapefruit smell. Significant hops taste and citrus (grapefruit) overtones. Maxamillion (103), Glendora, California, USA Jan 25, 2007 pours yellowish/orange copper color. Aroma of sweet dried fruit. Lots of hops upfront which then fade into a very smooth sweeter flavor. Aftertaste is very good. I like the balance as well. This is a smooth ipa, i like it! spector (906), Lancaster, Ohio, USA Jan 24, 2007 Get some slight malt and big hops in the aroma.Pours a murky gold with a medium white head.Some sweet malts come through followed by some big bitter hops.Medium mouthfeel with a bitter hop finish. Jukkabro (2981), Tampere, Finland Jan 24, 2007 Coppery colored, big yellow head. Flowery caramel and hops in fruity and lemony aroma. Medium bodied. Flavor is more crispy with hops and flowers, caramel and some perfumy tones also there. Good flavor, soft palate. Aftertaste is lemony and hopped.
