Pours a dark hazy gold with a thick rocky head. Big citrus pine and grassy aroma. Nice malty body balancing it all out, very nice chewy taste. Bitter citrus grassy pine flavor. Really big flavorful IPA with nice chewy Cascade and Simcoe style hops. Very good.

On tap. Orange color with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor was dominated by hops from start to finish. Wonderful citrus and floral hops. Barley any malt came through; thus unbalanced.

Peach juice. Hazy thick orange with a thin white head. Fades into a thick ring along the edges. A very sharp grapefruit and citrus punch with a strong pininess. A very forceful and persistent hop flavor. Pretty spicy and has a strong punch of hops. A tiny bit watery in the end but it helps balance the hops. A very drinkable IPA and one that I really do appreciate for what it is. However the ABV will actually shock you. It creeps up on you.

(10/13/08) Draught at Map Room in Chicago. Hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma of flowery hops and citrus. Bitter hoppy flavor with nice citric tones. Rounded-mouthfeel. Great and refreshing.

Pours a slightly hazy, deep orange into the glass, with a nice medium eggshell head that leaves soapy lace. Very pleasant citrusy malt nose, really accentuating the orange contingency. Nicely bitter throughout, this brew shines forth with citrus (orange and grapefruit) notes, enough malt to balance and back the peppering hops, and some light melon/honeydew to smooth out the pull. The finish closes the present flavors, leaving the nice peppery pine hop to tingle the back-palate.... lingering, and well done with complexity. Mouthfeel is smooth, and medium-bodied. This brew has character, and is a nice offering in the IPA genre. So many different aspects of the flavor and complexity shine through, it’s hard to capture them all accurately in one rating. Excellent beer.
