Dec 29, 2009 Pours a billowy white head that lasts throughout. Color is slightly hazy gold, would have liked it to be clearer.
Nose is very forward spicy hops, a little earthiness, and some floral bouquet on the finish.
Mouthfeel is less than expected on the front, burst of bitter hops carries the mid-palate -- some spice notes on the finish are nice.
Not a lot of balance with this beer.

Dec 28, 2009 330 mL bottle. (bb 11/10/10). Nice label. Pale gold with a small white head. Strong hoppy aroma is dominated by pine/spruce, but has a grassy note as well. The flavour is all hops, from the floral start to the lingering, bitter finish. Little malt presence to speak of, which differentiates this IPA from the best of the style.

Dec 26, 2009 330 ml bottle - pours a very pale straw gold with a decent sized white head. Fresh(ish) aroma of grassy and citrusy hops. Lemony. Flavour kinda one dimensional, those citrus hops coming through again, a very faint touch of sweetness from the malt, all with a dry flavourless bitter finish. One note. Not bad, but, ehhhhh....

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle.
Pours a thin, weak, slightly lively cheddar orange with an aroma of dark melon, grapefruit, and salty air. Flavor is uber-bitter buttery malted grapefruit and sour earthy vegetables in the finish. Thick on the tongue. Way too bitter and mouth-puckering with too many earthy tones to be great.

Dec 26, 2009 In the bottle from HyVee Council Bluffs. Can’t beat the $4.99 price. This pours a hazy rich gold with no head at all. In fact, the lack of carbonation was a real downer here. The aroma hops provided the classic cat urine smell of amarillo. The flavor was a big grapefruit rind that lingers on the tongue forever. Perhaps this batch 004 was too old?

Dec 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear gold, with a thin white head. Aroma is grapfruit and pineapple. Flavor is bitter and dry finish. A bit one-dimensional for an IPA. Good but nothing special.

Dec 24, 2009 Compliments of the Bretheren of Celticbrew. Enjoyed with the Mad Doctor, DrBayern, Everyone’s favorite Uncle Steve, and the Beer Pimp Brian.
Has a citrusy aroma. Pours light yellow color. The head laces to the edge of the glass. I got no real hop flavor and found the beer tame. Light. I rate it OK.
