opaque light burnt orange, wispy white head, streaks of patterned lace,
huge sweet citrus hop aroma with the perfect sugary grapefruit character,
creamy body,
lots of citrus flavor, touch of tangerine sweetness, light bitterness keeps the balance but allows the hop flavor be the star of the show,

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 22, 2007 Growler: Pours a hazy dark golden with a well-lacing froth of white head. Aroma of big, fresh grapefruity citrusy and grassy hops and some pale malt. Body starts semi-sweet with a lot of crisp grassy grapefruity bittering and flavor hops toward a thinner bittersweet finish. A pretty nice IPA. Tmoney99 (4742), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 17, 2007 My 50th Barley’s beer! Firkin at Ale House #1. The beer is a hazy yellow-orange color with a medium thin and foamy off-white head that has decent retention. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is grassy hops with touches of malt and citrus. Medium-bodied with a subdued and moderately bitter hops character. Some earthy malt and citrus flavors are evident as well. The finish is dry and somewhat hoppy with a lingering bitter hops aftertaste. Pretty darn good overall, and I am curious to try the tower version at some point.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 27, 2007 Appearance: Pours a hazy, pale orange body topped with a thin, white ring of bubbles.
Smell: Aromatic hop scent of citric-smelling citrus and pine needles.
Taste: Scant pale maltiness quickly turns to hops with flavors of grapefruit rinds and resinous pine along with a resounding bitterness. Dry finish with a long, lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A solid IPA with a sharp, snappy hop bitterness. sliffy (2009), Columbus, Ohio, USA
