This is a great IPA. Full of citrus hops with a smooth body. Tried this brew because the distributor said I wouldn’t be dissapointed, and I wasn’t.

On tap at blue point brewery, aroma of awsome west coast hops, grapefruity citrusy goodness, carbonation fits the spiciness of the hops, medium body, slight malt sweetness, overwhelming yet drinkable hoppiness, having one begs you to have another. one of my personal favorites (although consistancy from batch to batch is not very solid), I always have a six pack in the fridge.

Pint Glass on July 12th, 2007. The appearance is a light amber/orange. Poured with little to no head. The aroma is bitter, floral, piny smells. The taste is very bitter, wow, just bitter! A hint of maltyness to it also. The bitterness is great. Just the way I like my beer to taste. Great!

Best before 7-05(12oz. bottle) Very fresh resin,citrus pine aroma with a sweet and somewhat bready malt back.A very nice golden ale with a nice head and healthy lacing.This IPA tastes like a great IPA should taste.Appropriatly hoppy with the right varieties and a good crystal malt sweetness,the hops win! That’s how IPA’s are supposed to be(according to my tastes) This is a top ten brew in my book for the style. Reminds me of a two hearted ale but I only have one of those to remember,I will have many of these at a great price to enjoy in the future.Session hop love for the hophead.

Pours dark straw with huge white head. Aroma of big resiny hops, fruit, floral spices. Tastes very hoppy, and balanced with a great fruity, spicy finish. Wonderful balance and incredible complexity. One of my big surprises of 2005.
