Jul 6, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy dark amber color with a dense beige head. The aroma is orange citrus, moderately sweet caramel malt, and a touch of pineapple. The flavor has a good bit of caramel malt to balance the citrusy hop bitterness. This one shows good balance and judging by the scores is a little underappreciated IMHO. Smooth and easy to drink with a medium/full body. A very solid IPA.

Jun 29, 2008 12oz bottle. Lots of malt, quite possibly lots of caramel malts because it comes off as overly sweet even with the large amount of resiny hops. The hop bitterness is there, but the flavor and aroma contribution seems minimal. Big mouthfeel, lots of carbonation. Not the way I like my IPA’s.

Jun 15, 2008 12 oz bottle into shaker. The aroma is dominated by floral and citrus hops while the flavor is mostly dominated by grapefruit hops. It is smooth and sweet with just the right bite. Medium bodied on the palate. Overall: Not much to say here except that this beer is underrated and delicious IMO.

Jun 10, 2008 Bottle purchased at Corral Liquors, in Granite City, IL. Pours a cloudy copper with two fingers of frothy, ecru head that laces well. The aroma is a slightly musky blend of floral, citric and lightly earthy hops over pale malt. On the light side of medium-bodied, the palate is slightly grainy with a bitter, resinous hop finish. Toasted malt with a solid hit of floral and faint citric hops, it finishes dry and bitter. This is a decent brew, but it’s certainly not among my favorite IPAs.

Jun 6, 2008 Bottle, Heavy hoppy aroma and taste. Grapefruit and orange peel flavors shine through. Decent frothy off white head with decent lacing. Huge floaties with a medium amber color. Hoppy bitter initial flavor that carries over to the end. Medium bodied with a rather dry texture. Medium carbonation. An average IPA.

Jun 4, 2008 Nice white frothy head with sediment floating in the glass. Amber/orange color. Smells and tastes very hoppy and very bitter at the end. Pretty good stuff.
