Sep 4, 2008 22oz bottle. Clear golden color. Wonderful tart, hop aroma. Clean crisp malt. Nice hop bitterness. Personally reminds me of Sweetwater IPA. Flavor is nice malt, nice bitterness.

Jun 12, 2008 Yum! This single hop series beer makes wonderful use of a wonderful hop! Fruity nutty and floral as sin. Lots of sweet and malty character, too. Perhaps a little sugary in the finish, but overall, a really nice beer.

May 4, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear body with just a slight orange tint to it. Tiny ring of white bubbles on top.
Smell: Handful of tropical fruits, grapefruit and papaya, served up in a light caramel sauce.
Taste: Caramel malts with just a hint of toast. More of the tropical fruits from the aroma displaying a nice juiciness. Fairly restrained medium bitterness. A touch citric on the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Not so enjoyable as an IPA, but it is pretty fun in terms of learning your hops and their various attributes and characteristics.

May 3, 2008 Pours a transparent deep golden bronze with a wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of grassy piny hops with a touch of lightly sweet pale malt. Body starts with a mild caramel malty sweetness and a decent mild hoppy character, but not that assertive in flavor. An ok IPA that might be better with a fresh hop profile.

May 3, 2008 Pours light orange red with a small head, and below average lacing. Below average carbonation with a sweet smell of mild hops. Tastes hoppy like an IPA should. Light on the pallet, this beer could use a maltier backbone. Not bad- not great but I would rather have a strong DIPA instead.
