Poured orangey amber with a modest white head. I was expecting a piney aroma but I got an earthy hop and malty aroma with a sour, medicinal touch and some honey sweetness. I didnt detect that much citrus. The mouthfeel is good, very english carbonation. It’s straw malty with the earthy hops and a tangy, puckering dry finish with the alcohol making itself known.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Nice spicy notes make this an atypical pale ale. Quite malty with hints of apricot. Not recommended pairing this with spicy foods as the ale is complex and deserves full attention. We enjoyed this ale with Vietnamese food or just sipping while surfing the net.

Oct 5, 2008 Pretty dark in appearance, more than I would think for an IPA. Nice aroma of hops and grass. Flavor is weak. Slight hops, some malts, but tastes watery. Palate is light, thin, and watery.

Oct 3, 2008 Copper-amber color. One finger head diminishes to nice, fine lace. Aroma is solid maltiness with some warming alcohol and a bit of citrusy hops. High carbonation gives a tangy bite to mouthfeel. Hop bitterness is the only flavor aspect that I’m getting real range in--the beer’s greatest strength. More body than most IPAs.

Sep 29, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, dark amber with a white head. Nose is malt and slight citrus hops. Taste is like peach-flavored iced tea. Mouthfeel is medium with a bitter finish. More like a pale ale than an IPA and not as strong on the citrus flavor as I’d prefer.
