gsmitty80 (628), Washington DC, USA Nov 20, 2008 This was an average IPA. Good hops that didnt leave too much of a bitter aftertaste. The only thing was i felt that it was a lttle too sweet. Maybe i have wrecked my palate with all the imperial IPAs ive enjoyed recently. I dont know, but i thought it was a nice change of pace from the traditional high hop and hard finishing IPAs. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Nov 20, 2008 Partly cloudy copper body with a long lasting white head. Intense oak, pine and orange zest aroma. Body felt tailor made for a cask conditioning, soft, viscous and oily. This oily texture holds together eathy spices and citrus fruits flavours. The malt is there to support the flavours but not add to them. The carbonation was very soft even by cask standards. As far as american IPAs are concerned this one is more refreshing than aggressive. Very good. If you drink six of them, women start to look better than they really are, that’s what I call a Hoptical Illusion.
skibumphishead (180), USA Oct 24, 2008 12oz bottle from across the street. This is a decent IPA with crisp citrus flavors. This was great with some spicy pizza on a Friday night. The Illuminati label freaks me out a little bit. BiddleBrau (303), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Oct 23, 2008 pours lighter amber with dense white head. Nice pine, slightly citrus hop aroma. Hops bite from the very first sip, carbonation enhances the bitterness. Malt is in the background but it’s all about the hops here.. As the beer warms, there is a bit more balance. Not overly bitter. Palate is not so much as full as it is prickley. j12601 (1151), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Oct 16, 2008 Light apricot color with a thick white head that falls quickly. Big hops and a little bit of citrus and yeast. Thin body with more bitterness. Finish has a hint of metal reminiscent of zinc tablets to go with even more hops.

From a cask.... little or no carbonation or head, it’s thin and flat, hoppy aroma slightly citrusy taste. A subuded IPA... KnutAlbert (3110), Oslo, Norway Oct 5, 2008 Bottle.
Hazy golden beer, fine head. Full flowery hoppy aroma, the proper malty body to go with it. Ripe summer fruit, peach and orange, ending up in a grassy dry finish. Lovely with tasty food, I had some Parmesan cheese and cured spicy sausage.. KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 27, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a light orange color. Thin, white head. Fruity, bready aroma.
Light hoppy flavor with some bready notes
