Pours extra hazy orange with a large head. Fair lacing. Aroma is sour citrus and pine, but a very big malt backbone.
Taste brings out the sweetness even more; caramel, toffee and raisins. Sweetness is way beyond balanced for an IPA. Medium body. Slightly astringent finish.

Feb 14, 2007 On draft at the Winking Lizard; they were out of the Bells Kalamazoo Stout on draft which I’ve been meaning to try, so I settled for the hometown IPA. Dark brown red body. Floral grassy aroma. Chewy caramel crystal malts show prominently, kind of like Arrogant Bastard. Grassy piney hops in the taste mostly. It started off well but kind of went downhill as I made my way through the pint. Kind of a bad taste by the end. I couldn’t really recommend this one.

Jan 22, 2007 Sampled on tap a Market street wine bar in Cleveland. Pours a murky amber-brown color with a thin white head. Solid aroma of fruity and spicy hops, I also smell lactose? Very good flavor of spicy and fruity hops with earthy malt, my twisted mind is again reminded of lactose, weird, the flavor finishes with bitterness. The body has a light to medium thickness with an oily texture and moderate carbonation. A superb IPA.

Jan 21, 2007 A hazed orange pour with little or no head and a guey lace. A nice hoppy aroma meets you at the rim of the glass not a grapefruity not a piney hoppiness but a really nice hop bill on this brew. A flavor of sweet malt, real sweet and a nice full hop bitter. The palate is good all round on this beer.

Jan 5, 2007 The best pale ale I’ve every had. Pours with no head and has an amber ale appearance; it is quite dark for a pale ale. Aroma has a citrus smell as does the taste. The best part is that it finishes with a quick bitterness and leaves little aftertaste. Highly recommended if you like pale ales
