TampaBeer (172), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 23, 2007 has a pretty good fresh flavor, and a good fresh flavor, but there is really nothing else here. Slightly above average. Not very complex - clearly a second-tier IPA.
daknole (1131), Plantation, Florida, USA Dec 2, 2008 bottle from total wine. nice amberish pour with a good white head. aroma is very hoppy wtih some citrus and earthy notes. Flavor is not what I expected from the nose. It is kind of messy in my opinion. The hops and malt seem to be battling for a place on your tongue and not working together. Its weird. Maybe the choice of malts didnt work? cking (756), North Canton, Ohio, USA Oct 27, 2008 Excited to find singles of this offering during a recent weekend stay in the town where I grew up. A couple of hoppy glasses of beer sounded just right, unfortunately this IPA struggled to make the standard pale ale grade. Grainy, grapefruity aroma this is pleasant but a bit timid. Minor notes of evergreen and orange peel. Nice light copper pour with a frothy white head and good lacing. Soapy mouth feel, and not very bitter. Real let down considering I was paying for hops. Flavor was good for a beer, not too good for an IPA. Nutty malts with a good biscuit quality. Some floral and fruity hop notes. Need to change the label to Ale. MrDick (271), San Francisco, California, USA Oct 14, 2008 This bottle is a part of the single hop series featuring Amarillo hops. Pours a SQL injection fighting amber with mild floral hops aroma. Definitely a crisp hop taste but seems to need a bit more malt to mellow it out. unclemattie (1715), Georgia, USA Oct 3, 2008 12oz bottle. copper pour. Big hop aromas of cascade. Citrus and pine. Malt and chocolate. Flavor is a sweet malt followed by a sharp bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel. Finishes with citrus notes. medium bodied. grimreeser (756), Minnesota, USA Sep 7, 2008 Pours a clear very light amber with a nice head and good lacing. Aroma of spicy and floral hops, malt. Solid flavor, bitterness is there.
