May 27, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Had to grab something to get the awful Shiner Leicht out of my palate. This saves me with a nice whiff of grapefruit hops as soon as I pop the cap. Pours a cloudy IPA orange with a rocky head, dwindling with a bit of lace. Taste actually starts with thick, creamy malts, close to a caramel chew. Cheek to cheek with our favorite American hops; the 3C’s plus a puckery smack of Amarillos, I think. Like gargling with Pine-Sol, but in a good way. Keeps its balance all the way down. Yay.

May 14, 2009 Tasted as part of the Avery Experience at Brouwer’s. Pours the color of apple cider, with a small head. Citrus hops in the aroma, with an interesting note on the finish - almost like pear. Hugely bitter, with a great, full flavor for a single IPA. I’d pick up a sixer of this stuff any day.

May 9, 2009 On tap as the special of the week at Brixie’s in Brookfield, IL. Pint served a light gold tone, with a thick, frothy head and foamy, clingy lacing. The aroma was smooth malt, citrus and pine, with the pine having the upper hand. The flavor presented more of a balance of the two resulting in a nice hop astringency tempered by a hint of malt sweetness. A good, standard American IPA.
