Bottle. Aroma of citrus and grassy hops, toffee and wafer malt. Flavor juicy, sweet and fruity with tropical hop notes, bitterness from the grassier hops. Body could be stronger, just doesn’t quite coat the tongue with either the malts or hops. Still, nice.

Bottle, best by 01/2009. Pours a clear orange with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and grapefruit hops, also some light sweet fruits. Flavor is quite fruity- lots of citrus, some mango and other tropical fruits. Nice hop bite in the finish with a grassy/garlic hops note. Palate is a little weak, but overall this is a nice IPA.

Pours a very cloudy orange hue that releases a strong aroma of fruits, flowers and hops. Flavor is very pleasant taste of fruit and hops with a bitter malt finish. Clean and smooth on the palate, just a bit too fruity and not hoppy enough. A very drinkable, well-balanced IPA, however.

Pours a golden orange color with a medium head. Nose is fresh, citrus, floral hops. Initial taste is citrus, touch spice, fruits, good malt balance. Mid palate to finish displays a good hoppy characters that balance this IPA very nicely. More a lighter IPA but very tasty and probably appeals to more palates. Palate duration is very good. Body light to medium. Head retention is good. Overall enjoyable IPA.

Had this many times and I did not find consistency but as far as the better bottles go it is pretty good. A better than their pale beer with similar usage of hops. Balanced but this has way more hops and is pretty good.

Golden orange pour, small white head. Citrus and spicy hops hit the nose. Some pine notes are evident as well. Flavor is juicy, hoppy, and has some great malt. This is a very good beer.
