By far the best thing ive seen available on tap.. other options were (bud,miller, shocktop). Poured great hazy orange with fluffy white head. Nice balance between a bitter hops and mellow citrus note. really impressive. Good IPA. alobar (1005), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 13, 2008 Bottle. Very nice. Solid hops aroma with a copper color and thin white head. Taste is a well-balanced ombination of hops, citrus with a nice bitter hops end. Would have again! waolsen (1218), Littleton, Colorado, USA Apr 11, 2008 bottle copper pour think white head. lacing. citrus hop aroma. citrus hops, grainy body, nice malt. avg. Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA Apr 7, 2008 Great aroma - very hoppy. The inital taste is that of a very good IPA: a bit bitter, very hoppy, a tiny bit of citrus. The taste didn’t follow through on the palate giving you the complete experience however and I was left wanting more. tgncc (796), Bellmore, New York, USA Apr 7, 2008 Nice aroma of citrusy/grapefruit hops. The appearance is standard for an IPA, yellow with a tinge of red, very inviting. Nice crisp taste, with a good balance between fruitiness and the bitterness of the hops. Very pleasant, hoppy finish. Decent carbonation. Medium mouthfeel. Good IPA overall. anthlovesbeer (67), north grafton, Massachusetts, USA Apr 5, 2008 A nice brewery-fresh taste right from the start and lasts throughout. A well balanced hop aroma and flavor. Very enjoyable alone without food. shintriad (698), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 23, 2008 Thick, sediment-filled amber with a large rich head. Very toffee-like malts with some citrus and slight pine malts. Tasty, not very distinctive.
