Apr 3, 2006 Clear copper color with a medium head. Not an incredible ammount of hop in the aroma, but it is easily detectable. Flavor is bitter with a nice mouthfeel and enuff maltiness to balance things out. Nothing overwhelming about this beer but a good beer for sittin on the porch watching the sun go down.

Feb 16, 2006 Light gold/copper color with medium sized white head. Aroma is full of citrusy, resiny hops, probably cascasde. Flavor has malt notes, fairly present hops, with a dry finish and a stiff but not overwhelming bitterness.

Feb 11, 2006 Every brewpub IPA i’ve had out here has a strange dryness to it. This is no exception, however the use of c-hops is a welcome addition here. Brillaint deep copper beer. Rocky lasting head. Nose is aromatic. Perfumey hops that get choked out by a milky, dry malt. Haystacks and hops...interesting combo. Flavors reflect this with a pronounced and very carbonated dryness. All in all this beer was decent but nothing to write home about.

Jan 28, 2006 Aroma of grapefruit & other citrus. Good hoppy flavors with a hint of spice and decent balance of malts. Finish is dry.

Citrusy hops is I all I smell. Cloudy orange with firm thumb thick head. Fore is a bit of biscuity malt then all bitter puckering hops. It’s really not overdone though and I imagine most hop heads would want more IBU’s. To me it’s solid, but lacks some of the body and floral and intense citrus notes of the IPA’s I do like. Still a solid beer.

Oct 25, 2005 Updated: Oct 30, 2005The hops kick you in the face, and you feel it long afterward. Way too hoppy. Would be very refreshing otherwise, with citrus flavors and light, refreshing feel. If not for the kung-fu hops. Very pretty dark golden color though. I’m not much of an IPA guy, so if you consider yourself Mr. Hoppy Hoppenstein, you may get more out of this.

Oct 7, 2005 On tap at the brewery. This beer has a darker, more amber color than most IPAs. The aroma is strong of pine and citrus fruit. Taste is very hoppy and bitter with no other underlying flavors besides grapefruit. Eventhough I could taste the malt a bit, I thought this beer was way too hoppy. I expected some bitterness from this IPA, but the extreme bitterness and dryness was left in my mouth long after finishing the beer. There are much better IPAs out there.

Sep 25, 2005 Updated: Mar 9, 2006On tap at the brewery. Pours amber gold color, witlh considerable carbonation and a thin, foamy white head. Small nose, but this is probably a result of the very cold restaurant. The beer, however, is served appropriately chilled, with aromas of pine and citrus. Flavors are heavily tipped towards hoppiness, sharp and piney. Unbalanced, but at least in the right direction. Light citrus notes remind of a West-Coast IPA. Above average, and one of the brewery’s best.
