Jul 1, 2009 Location: I’ve had this one on tap and out of the bottle quite a few times. I’ve noticed quite a few places in Manhattan where this is the only IPA they have on tap, so if I’m out to dinner or grabbing a drink at one of those places, and I want an IPA, this is the one I get.
Overall Impression:
This a pretty decent IPA, it’s just not hoppy or flavorful enough to get much higher of a score then this, but it is a drinkable beer.

Jun 28, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Short Pump, VA. Pours a clear light copper color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. Faint aroma of caramel and resiny hops. Taste is very hoppy... citrus, pine, resin. Caramel malts as well. Medium bodied. Decent.

Jun 25, 2009 Mostly clear orange pour with a big foamy head. Sweet citrus aroma such as pineapple and tangerine. Taste is much more bitter/resinous than the aroma which is nice. Finishes with a lingering bitterness.

Jun 22, 2009 Updated: Jun 23, 2009Fairly strong and even mixture of citrus and pine smelling hops on the nose. Aroma of caramel is also prevalent. Slightly hazy golden color medium white head. Medium body. Outstanding cantaloupe, apples, and pine needle flavor. Honey and apple core finish. Wow! Excellently balanced. Good complexity. Unique. There is a moderate metallic taste that bears mentioning, but other than that this is a delight.

Jun 14, 2009 12 oz. bottle at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured copper with a floral nose. Very piney, resiny flavor with an extremely dry, bitter finish.

Jun 13, 2009 not bad IPA, not hoppy enough for my tastes, but a nice drinking IPA, wouldnt get old after a few.

Jun 10, 2009 Nice looking pour, with a clear and radiant orange amber body and medium offwhite head. Aroma of grapefruit and toasty caramel. Taste has a grainy caramel maltiness edged by a bitter grapefruity hoppiness. Pine notes add even more hop presence. A solid American IPA but not a worldbeater.
