Froim the 12 fl. oz. bottle with no lot code or bottled/expiration date. The pour is a cloudy amber with about an inch of foamy beige head and a lot of lacing on the glass. The aroma is distinctly hopped and very clean. Bold but smooth mouthfeel. A good hoppy taste to it along with something that reminds me of bananas. It has a nice freshness about it.

Sep 18, 2009 Look is light orange with a honey colored shine. Puffy white head. Good lace. Lots of carbonation.
Smell is bitterish woody hops with a wet almost amberish malt. Secondary flowery character in the hops. Hoppy as heck but also balanced.
Taste is heavy hop flavor; butter but also a bit sweet. Starts off woody but then turns flowery.
Creamy and smooth feel. Medium thickness. Leaves a bitter film. Overall it’s bitter and yet very drinkable. Nice and hoppy and a little malty.

Jul 24, 2009 More of an english than an american-style IPA. Strong bouquet of chinook and fuggles hops. A bit too much bittering hops for my taste....really puckers the back and sides of the tongue. A refreshing IPA nonetheless. A bit cloudy. Overall, I’d call this a an english-american hybrid IPA. Good beer.

May 12, 2009 Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a stringy-lacing frothy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet caramely malt with a touch of grapefruity hops. Starts with good fullness and carbonation along with a light toasty malty sweetness and some slightly resiny citrus and piny hops before a smooth, bittersweet finish. Could use a little more hop bite, but still a pretty good IPA.

Mar 19, 2009 I’m rather inclined to like this beer for reasons I won’t go into, but suffice it to say that IPAs in America have become a something of a frankenstein’s monster, and an IPA done simply and done well is nothing to scoff at.

Mar 17, 2009 Complimentary case from brewer after awesome tour of their digs over at Browns. Split with Pwn3d, DeputyAndy, and the WhiteMountain of course. This ipa pours a decent body with little head. The aroma is strong pine and hop. The flavor is bitter hop and fruit - grapefruit.

Feb 21, 2009 Pours with little head. Nice strong roasted pine nose. Deeper ipa with more roasted flavors than bitters. Nice finish but a little lacking for a well-rounded ipa.

Feb 18, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Mike. Unfortunately sampled after a night of heavy drinking. So please with a grain of salt.. Not a fan of the style to begin with.. but this had good fresh hop flavor. A good clean ipa.
