Feb 6, 2005 Bottle sampled at jeffc666’s B-day gathering 2/6/05: Cloudy golden orange color with a medium white head. The aroma has a surprisngly fresh hops aroma considering it was bottled in the summer. The hops have probably toned down some in intensity, but there are still those nice fresh fruit, grass, leaves, and pine hops notes coming through. Tastes nicely bitter, with notes of grass, lemon, grapefruit, all hops. This does have a nice creamy and thick mouth feel to it.

Jan 15, 2005 Poured a very hazy orange color with a large off white head. Aromas of peah, orange, grapefruit, and sweet malt. Flavor starts malty, then get some orange, mild grapefruit, and bitter finish. Meidum closing on full bodied and lightly syrupy. Finishes a little dry for such a big body.

Dec 31, 2004 Citrusy, fruity aroma, the orange peel compliments the orange character fo the Centennial hops nicely. Very cloudy light amber color, thick persistent white head. Very bitter, intensely hoppy flavor, a little malt and a hint of orange manage to peak through right beofre the finish, keeping it from being pure hop juice. Medium body, some hop-derived astringency that is always present in beers this bitter. Great IPA, very bitter, the orange peel and slight malt presence give it some complexity.
