Hazy amber body with a medium-sized, creamy, off-white head, lasting, nice lace. The nose is lightly sweet with caramel, grapefruit and floral hops. The flavor is moderately sweet with lots of chewy caramel, some ice tea, tangerine and orange rind. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation.

Clear amber with white sticking head. Grapefruit, grass, and sweet malt aromas. Grapefruit, grass, and mild sweet caramel. Nice balance with a dry, bitter finish.

Pours a clear golden with a thick head. Hops are way up front, but it has a nice sweet malty aroma as well. Flavor was citrusy and hoppy, nice malt balance. Finishes dry, bitter, and clean. good.

Pours a clear copper orange with large pearl head that retains and laces sheets on the glass. Smells of fresh hops, citrus and rind with a malty backend. Tastes of juicy fruit, crisp hops, tangerine and pineapple. Feels medium and refreshing in the mouth with nice carbonation. A bitteness and earthy feel lingers on the tongue. Very good drinkability, crisp, clean and refreshing. A wonderful, sessionable IPA.

Bottle thanks to riversideAK. Pours a light golden hue with an energetic though weak head. The aroma is hops. The flavor is dominated by hops with some pine, citrus, flowers and sweet earthy malts. A really nice IPA. A thin body, but overall quite good.

Copper COLORED POUR W/ A BIG OFF WHITE HEAD AND SOME NICE LACING. Big hoppy aroma lots of grass some sweet berries and graham crackers along w/ some caramel. Palate is nice lightly sticky but a small 4. A bit 1 dimensional in the flavor lots of pine and grapefruit a bit of that wet stale type of taaste touches of caramel. Ok.

Bottle from the First Houston Tasting ,and a generous gift from Irishboy
Richard, when you sent this to me, you had no idea I’d already had it. But then again, you had no idea that I wanted more!
Pours a sweet, dense, golden cheddar with an aroma of sweet fruit (honeydew and strawberry) with sugary hops. Flavor is a mixture of pine and grapefruit with wet hops in the finish. Thick and coating mouthfeel. In my tasting notes I noted: "Need more!" Irishboy heard the call and acted accordingly... Now THAT is rock-and-roll, my friends...
