Oct 12, 2008 Pours a light copper with a medium off white head and good lacing. Aroma is citrusy hops, and flavor is similar. Slightly malty up front with a serious hop finish. Not bad.

Oct 1, 2008 Pours a clear light orange with decent off white head. Aroma is floral and piney hops, a little yeast. Flavor is malt up front on a bed of floral and citrus hops, slight fruitiness. Very pleasant bitterness in the finish. Solid IPA.

Sep 29, 2008 The aftertaste lingers for days is an off metal bitter yuck. Not a bad beer, reminds me of S.N. Southern Hemi Fresh hop minus the extra kick. Its good and hoppy but the malt comes up thin. Some lacing hardly any head and piss yellow color kill the appearance score. I rate IPAs way to hard, this is a good beer, but I’ll pass on it in the future for better beers.

Sep 26, 2008 Bottle.Old rating. Columbus, Styrian Goldings and Centennial hops used for this one. It pours clear amber-orange with an average sized creamy head that mostly diminished but left good lacing.
