Apr 2, 2009 orangish with white head. moderate carbonation. grassy hop to the nose. solid hop bitterness comes through, some type of Western US hop. hop flavor with Columbus’s classic grassy notes. malt backbone comes through, but is somewhat metallic and not very enjoyable. clean finish, little esters, but some. an average IPA at best, but I do enjoy the Columbus usage.

Mar 10, 2009 Bottled. Poured a completely clear copper color with an off white creamy head. Weak aroma - mostly wet hops, grapefruit, and malts. I got a much stronger malt taste than hops, which is exactly opposite of what I want an IPA to be. Not all bad, but low scores from me because I don’t think this really resembles an IPA.

Mar 3, 2009 Not terribly impressed by this IPA. Run of the mill for me. fairly nice hops, not getting too much of the malt though. Citrus undertones.

Feb 21, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Gold in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of hops, sweet oranges, grass, and straw. Taste is moderately hoppy with some citrus and peaches.

Feb 8, 2009 Bottle from beer tasting. Appears gld-orange with a small head. Aroma and flavor are both quite herbal; someone commented that it tasted of ginger. Nothing special here.

Feb 7, 2009 Pours a golden color, VERY clear with a nice, white, but quickly dissipating head.
Aroma is light, almost non-existant but what’s perceived is floral, with a touch of malt in the nose as well. What’s there is great in terms of aroma, I would like to see it amped up a bit.
I really wanted to love this brew, and I really tried. It seems as all of the right components are there, at much smaller percentages that I’d like to see them. It’s all there in this little brew, just needs to be amped up quite a bit. THEN, and only then will this be contender.

Feb 5, 2009 This is an aight ipa. It isnt huge on the aroma, kinda light and floraly with a bit of the citrus going on. The body is not really powerful, but not really watery and weak either. This is a decent session ipa, could use a little more hop kick for my liking though.
