Sep 24, 2008 (Bottle). Big citrusy aroma, mostly grapefruit. Orange-amber color, white head. Flavor a delcious balance of grapefruit, orange, pineapple, and some semi-sweet malt backbone. The finish is a little disappointing....slightly bitter, but not very intense.

Sep 22, 2008 Vibrant, sunny orange/gold appearance with a well-formed, long lived head and nice lacing. Orange peel, rose petals, citrus fruit, incense and grapes in the aroma attribute themselves to big, leafy, fragrant, juicy hops that burst onto the tongue and give this American IPA a very fresh, floral, fruity and energetic feel, loaded with bitter grapefruit and citrussy tangerines. There is still an excellent toasted malt balance, making sure this brew is not overwhelmingly bitter, but rather a well-crafted, medium-bodied beer with a semi-dry finish that would satisfy even the most discerning hophead.

Sep 12, 2008 Pours amber with a decent sized off white head. Aroma of flowers, sweet malt, and alchohol. Taste is resinous, soapy, grapefruit, dark fruit with sweet caramel. Nice amount of bitterness. Not a fan of the aroma of sweetness, but the bitterness is right on.

Sep 12, 2008 This was a big surprise; the wife picked it out in a mixer while we were on Hilton Head Island.
The beer pours a light amber with a big frothy head that stuck around even in the plastic hotel cups we had. You could just smell the bitterness on this one with plenty of hop aroma, but it also smelled like a nice liqueur, with plenty of fruitiness to compliment.
The taste was surprisingly not as strong as the smell but provided a little bit of tongue bruising hoppyness, with some good spicy & fruity notes. Very easy to drink!

Sep 11, 2008 Bottle....Surpising! After all the pine on the nose, it has an amazingly smooth mouthfeel and refreshing citrus hops. Great alternative from the norm for the IPA lover.

Sep 11, 2008 Bottled. Pours out a clear bronze colour with a small, foamy, off-white head. Nice hop aroma with a hint of alcohol oddly enough. Clean scent if that makes any sense. Flavour definitely has the hops up front but then also some bubble gum and sweetness in the finish. Proabably an above average IPA overall.

Sep 11, 2008 Nice aroma of hops fills the air as I pour this one. Pours a clear golden with a head that dissipates to a lacing. Aroma is nice and intense with hops. Citrus dominates with some spice. Flavor is good but not good enough to be in the upper echelon of IPAs. Its not as balanced as I would like and it just doesn’t finish as clean as I would like. Other than that this is a realy solid IPA those are my only two gripes.
