Mar 29, 2009 Just ok. Thin palate, and very dry going down. Pours amber, nose is carmel and stinging hops. Too crisp going down. Needs to be wetter. Not the best.

Mar 11, 2009 Bottle courtesy of TearsforBeers. Aroma of caramel with some pine resin hops. Medium amber/orange hue with a small off-white head that mostly diminished and left almost no lace. Flavor hs some sweet malts and a hefty bitter finish. Palate is medium to full bodied and soft. Not bad and very malty for an IPA. Good malt base but the hops could use some dimension.

Mar 9, 2009 22oz bottle. Thick deep orange-brown color with a ridiculously foamy head. A little on the dark side of the IPA spectrum, certainly Fresh, crisp seawater hop aroma. Some solid all around hopping, but the syrupy thick and sweet malt backbone. A quality beer with lots of big malt flavor, but while the hops are certainly nice and present, they are a little dominated by the malt bill.

Feb 18, 2009 I expected more out of this beer. Color was perfect. It had that dark, cloudy amber/orange color that the better IPAs have, but the faint aroma yielded little else besides caramel malt and a hint of pine. More of the same on the flavor, with sweet caramel malt overwhelming any of the slight citrus and pine to be found. Nice bitter finish on the medium palate but this one was a disappointment.

Feb 11, 2009 1pt. 6oz. bottle. Pours dark capper with average head. Smells of citric and grassy hops. Tastes very citrusy and piney...some carmel sweetness. Sweet malt flavors are exceeded by the abundance of hops. Pretty good beer.

Feb 6, 2009 Poured from bomber into glass. Appearance is slightly red and minimal head. Aroma is – what? Where are the hops? Seriously? The aroma is not an IPA – way too neutral and malty. Initial taste is slightly bitter and lackluster on all accounts of hops. The only thing this beer has going for it is the ease of drink. This non offensive, non tasteful, non hoppy beer is not an IPA and on top of that, not that good. Either the beer I got was old, or the beer I got was crap. I lean toward the latter. If I am in Ohio again, I would search out Hoppin Frog over this stuff anyday.

Jan 15, 2009 22oz from moejuck - thanks, Joe! Very handsome pour, translucent orange with the big creamy head that is the harbinger of a scrumptious IPA. Abundantly carbonated with a delicious floral nose. Initial taste is very bitter and grassy, but as you savor the full mouthfeel the beer starts to relax a bit, letting the floral qualities - and even some flavorful malts - come through. Finish might be just a bit too acidic, but this is definitely an above average IPA.
