Mar 15, 2009 16 oz on tap at the brewpub. Poured a pretty clear amber color with a one finger off white head that quickly dissipated into a thin layer of bubbles on the perimeter of the glass. Provide quite a bit of lacing. Aroma was very much citrus, with orange, lemon notes present, but primarily grapefruit. Note much of the malt was present in the nose. The flavor was very well balanced, with a solid caramel base and a solid citrus finish. The bitterness only lingered for a few seconds. The body was clean and enjoyable, with a slick, sticky mouthfeel from the hops. The carbonation was solid. Very enjoyable. Wish they’d make this a regular.

Mar 13, 2009 Growler courtesy of Justin. Thanks! Shared with barrios and the other guys at woody’s. Pours a clear amber with thin off-white head. Grapefruity hop nose with other floral and fruity notes is tremendous. Flavor is pretty bitter, but not entirely unbalanced. Nice and fruity. Very enjoyable IPA.

Dec 24, 2008 Updated: Dec 26, 2008A very unique brew. On draft at International Beergarten in Lutz, FL. Dark black but genuinely hoppy, though not overpowering. A touch of malt and barley.

Nov 18, 2008 I am very surprised by the low ratings. My opinion is not homerism here. This is a damn fine beer. Pours clear orange amber with a white head. Aroma of floral and citrus hops. Medium bodied with average carbonations. Malty backbone which is sort of American meets British, countered by a nicely balanced but firm American bitterness. I would describe this as a maltier Sierra Nevada Celebration. Good stuff. These other raters are on crack.

May 1, 2008 Draft at Blackstone. This is just your standard IPA. Nothing special about it. Read other descriptions for more information.
