This is simply an amazing beer. Beautiful complexion and wonderful nose. This beer is just sticky with amarillo hop. That really comes through in the citrus notes of this beer and busts with grapefruit and lemon. Get as much of this as you can. :) beergodz (4), Seven Hills, Ohio, USA does not count | 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 12, 2006 Though not always consistent, when they get this right, it’s the king of their fine line of pale ales ardrum (2), Ohio, USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Aug 20, 2007 Wow.

The Amarillo hops really stand out, it has an almost grapefruit aroma with a good balance between bitter/malty. It is a fairly light colored brew that’s smooth and refreshing, I had a couple of these to wash down the bottlecaps (fried Jalapeño slices) this is a very well balanced IPA.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jul 5, 2005 On tap at the brewery. Translucent copper with a thin, jiggling grey head. Aroma of caramel, cedar and cherry crisp join a continuously wafting dry hopped profile. Simply excellent, sweet and bitter. Citrusy pineapples and grapefruit are out of the gate first. Caramel sweetness, some pine needles and grass stains make this everything an IPA can be. Quite possibly the best balanced IPA I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I simply loved it. deprogram (112), Renton, Washington, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Oct 28, 2003 16 oz. draft Very impressive, simply the sweetest, most delicate IPA I have ever tasted. Scent is clover-sweet and floral, appearance rather unassuming but properly colored. Palate light, very gently hopped for an IPA, which allows the fantastic array of flavors to come through. Plenty of citrus tending toward oranges, of course, but notes of sweeter fruit as well, sun-ripened apples, lightly fermented... tfcjenn (30), cleveland, Ohio, USA

Aroma has a nice floral-citrus-pine essence that is unmistakably Amarillo. Flavor is a smooth, hoppy floral, piney mix with some citrus and lighter malt backing that makes it really good. Wow - I have to stop by the beer engine on one of my next trips through Ohio!
