Sep 15, 2007 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Pale copper color with small off-white head. Faint lemony hop aroma. Medium honey-apricot sweetness with underlying and finishing bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. Good but not exceptional or exciting.

Sep 15, 2007 Updated: Jan 10, 2008Not the best IPA by a long shot. The malt was too strong, and the hops lacking.

Sep 13, 2007 Light orange pour. Little to no head. Carbonated. Aroma or hops and sweet citrus. Bitter and carbonated. Very Little malt covering. A hint of the sweetness you smell can be detected. Not really drinkable overall. Too carbonated. Not one of the better IPAs I have ever had.

Sep 8, 2007 Excellent example of the style - quite strong but balanced in the bitterness. Good colour.

Sep 8, 2007 12 Oz Bottle. Pours a surprisingly rich deep amber orange, with almost not head, carbonation. Totally clarity. Aroma is dirty, mingled with faint hops, rice noodles, and off-grains. Sure, it’s got characteristic hop schmalz, but nothing anybody wants. Flavor was heading towards what I expected with a body that just failed. Weak and thin, but backed with bad grain flavors. That’s not to say it was terrible, just mediocre and uninspired. There were standard caramels, noble hop sugars and candied citrus. Vegetal and lightly creamy. Any yeast characters play low and get lost in a weird spicy contingent that’s either derivative of the hopping or grain character. Not nearly as good as I was hoping for. Yeah, Garrett, Pad Thai is good. And pairing it with an IPA is better. Just make sure it’s not this one.

Sep 5, 2007 Updated: Sep 6, 2007Completely clear pour of a bland, dusty orange hue. Aromas of orange juice, juniper and spiced biscuits. Dirty bathroom stink, clean caramel sugar, and cayenne pepper with a little agitation. Crisp flavor of sagebrush and a really sharp, canned, pearlike sweetness. Underlying hints of mandarin orange, mango, wood. A little alcoholic warmth. Finishes on an astringent rush of plain soap. Uneventful and dull. A kiss of creamy texture does a fair job of neutralizing the vegetal bite. As an English rendition this works well enough.
