I liked the look of this beer...hazy heavy burnt orange bordering on brown with a sort of murky swirl. Nice thin tan head on top. Caught some interesting aroma once I stuck my nose down deep enough...piney, plumy, hoppy. Mouthfeel was nice in the sip; incorporating a smooth, medium-bodied, mellow texture. Finish was dissapointing and it could have used a higher IBU and have been something a bit more special but overall, I would drink again.

On tap @ Mellow Mushroom... Pours golden amber with a fluffy, white head that lingers for the duration of the beer leaving ample amounts of lacing. Aroma was hop dominated with a strong grapefruit and pine resin presence. Flavor is also mostly citrus and pine blended nicely with some caramel There were also some note of spicy hops, doughy yeast. The palate is medium bodied, somewhat creamy and has a semi-sweet bitter finish. Very enjoyable brew....

12oz bottle. Pours clear orange with a good size white head, good lace. Smells nice, citrus hoppy with a semi-sweet caramel malt presence, slightly metallic as well. Tastes nice and light citrus hoppy, slightly sweet, slightly bitter. Good malt presence as well, again slightly metallic. Medium body, good carbonation.

6-pack with Chipman during the blizzard of 08’. Nice amber pour with a cirus and pine nose. This guy is all hops and balanced well. Great deal at the price point. I am not an IPA guy but i would get this the next time friends come round.

Pours a clear amber, slightly small head. Nice citrus pine aroma, sweet caramel malt. A bit of fruit at the end also. Nice balanced flavor.

12 ozer from a mixed sampler. Poured a slightly hazy gold color with a one finger white head. Aroma was caramel malt and piney hops. Lacing was minimal. Flavor was more of the earthy hop, though not too overpower. Body was somewhat light for an IPA these days. Very refreshing. I really was impressed with this beer.
