May 31, 2008 Had this at a wings place at MB. Very well disguised alcohol on this one. This one started very malty with the standard grapefruit/pine aroma. Nice balance to it coming from the malt, and never guessed the booze factor. Liked it and I enjoy IPA’s.

May 29, 2008 Poured from a 12-oz bottle a light heavy copper color. A sweet, flowery hoppy smell. Taste was of floral and bitter hops, with the bitter hops standing out on the finish.

May 27, 2008 Pours clear copper with a minimal white head. Medium hop aroma with notes of grapefruit and pine. Taste is similar with sweet malts right up front and decent bitterness at the back. Very well balanced. A very good beer, but not the hop bomb I was expecting.

May 24, 2008 Smells of wonderful sour hops with a slight spiciness to it. Taste is strong hop presence, similar to DFH 60min but less smooth. No sharp dryness at the end, a very nice IPA.

May 22, 2008 Light copper color thats the slightest bit hazy. one to two-finger head with rough pour that sticks to the glass.
Sweet and fruity smelling. Pint grapefruit, lychee and tropical fruit, bit of caramel. Some alcohol noticeable in the form of a soapy/tropical fruit impression.
Sweet orangey caramel flavor with notes of apple, kiwi and pine. Bit of soapiness again, that I contribute to the alcohol. Not very nice for such a low abv.
Medium body with moderate carbonation. Drinkable, if you can get past the weird off-flavors.

May 19, 2008 12 oz bottle. Nice orange color with solid off white head that lasts. WOW! The nose on this thing is huge! Very citrusy nose with hints of peach and pine. funny...the comment about it being sweet at first and then melon and topical fruit is dead on. Great balance. The malt backbone is enough to support the huge hop bitterness. very drinkable.

May 18, 2008 Pine, Grapefruit hoppiness with earthy yeast tone in the nose. A sip gives you the IBU and bite of the beer but a big gulp shows you the malts. Reminds me of the steelhead IPA. Good balance of bitterness and cleanliness on the finish.

May 18, 2008 Hazy orange pour with a thick white head. Very fruity aroma with lots of floral hops. Citrus, melon, peach and a bit of dry hop as well. Flavor doesn’t quite match the intensity of the aroma, but still very good. Lots of hops of course. A bit too bitter and unbalanced though. Slightly sweet at first with melon and tropical fruits and then the bitter hops overpower the tongue. Overall a good IPA.
