Aug 18, 2006 Draught at the brewery, August 2006. Clear copper and amber colored body. Gum and sugar in the nose, very sweet smelling, with some artificial candy pineapple and mandarin orange notes. Crisp and syrupy all around, which is really nice. Drying into the finish. Flavors are not smack-you-in-the-face, but overall this IPA is still very tasty - good fruity notes with some cedar wood as well. Some weedy pecan and nutty cherry notes as the drink goes on. Good stuff.

Jun 19, 2003 Cask conditioned - Dark amber color. Large rocky off-white head. Mostly lasting and producing good lacing. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Heavy hop aroma of pine and grapefruit. Hints of light grain, pear, spice, and floral qualities. The heavy hop bitterness continues on towards the tastebuds. Little sweetness. Dry, moderate astringent, bitter finish. I've had hopper IPA's, but this one is weak either.

May 18, 2009 Orange creamy pour with off white head and lace. Apple like aroma with tones of citrus hops. Full malt, nice citrus/evergreen bitter. Full/medium bodied beer with just a tad aggressive carbonation. Very solid best beer I’ve ever had from here.

Mar 19, 2009 Growler shared by NachlamSie. Pours copper with small off white head. The aroma is fresh grapefruit, light caramel, tangerine, and lemon. The flavor is clean, crisp grapefruity hops with a little bit of minty character. Some light toast and mild caramel lie beneath the hops. Very fresh tasting all around. Quite good, I thought.

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.
