Feb 12, 2009 Updated: Apr 2, 2009Tap and cask at Trappeze. Pour is clear and goldish orange with white head, lots of lace. Aroma of big citrus hops, grapefruit was pretty noticable. Taste was similar with a nice malt backing and some light spiced hop coming through. The finish is nicely bitter and the mouth was full and sticky. Overall, a pretty enjoyable IPA.

Feb 9, 2009 This was very well-balanced with sweet caramel malt balancing the hops. I believe this is due to a little aging and would expect a fresh bottle to be more bitter and dry.

Feb 8, 2009 Bottle from beer tasting. This was the favorite of the night. It appeared yellow in color, with a nose of complex fruit sweetness: Valencia orange, lemon, and bubble gum, I’ll say. Flavor features candied ginger, lemonade, peach and some back-palate spiciness. Finishes hoppy with spicy qualities. This is a great tasting IPA.

Feb 7, 2009 [Bottle] Pours hazy reddish-amber with a small white head. Not as big in aroma as I had expected, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in quality. Lots of tropical fruit--huge on pineapple and a little mango in there as well. After warming a bit some citrus and light honey show up too. Very subdued bitterness in the taste, decent sweetness with a solid malt backbone and some citrus. Not as good as the aroma, but not bad. Decent mouthfeel, quite smooth, and has an average length finish. Very nice, especially the aroma...then again I am a sucker for the huge tropical fruit aromas.

Feb 3, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a 2 finger off white head that dissipates quickly. Nose of grapefruit peel, pine and a touch of herbal funk. Flavor is citrusy with a nice balance of malt and hops, a damn good IPA.

Jan 31, 2009 Pours light golden orange with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is slightly floral and piney hops, but nothing too big. Some caramel malts and graininess accent. Flavor is better, slightly piney with a hint of citrus in the beginning followed by a mellow bitterness that never chomps at the palate. Finishes pretty smooth and creamy for an IPA but not bad. This is a nice IPA for someone who hates a ton of hop presence. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not bad but nothing great.

Jan 31, 2009 Orange in color with a lacy sort of head. Nice hoppy smell with fruits and floral present. Weaker than I like in a IPA but very drinkable.

Jan 30, 2009 Pours copper orange with a biege head. Everything just seems very bland. No nose to speak of. Tastes like a week pale ale. It don’t taste bad. I don’t taste like an IPA.
