Apr 19, 2008 On Firkin pours a golden color with a large marshmellow like head. Smells like a pine tree. Mouthfeel is smooth and medium. Tastes like a beautifully malted and citrus union. Good brew.

Apr 18, 2008 Firkin. Orange with a big fluffy head ... kind of surprisingly big. Big floral hop nose with some citrusy notes. Very hoppy taste nicely balanced by the more subtle malts. A great IPA.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice ambery copper color with a thin bubbly white head that disappears quickly. Aroma is fantastic... huge smell of citrus, pine, flowers, and spice. Taste is very nice, the malt is there but the hops really take over and control the taste. Tart, bitter, slightly grassy, and clean this is what I want my I.P.A. to taste like. Unforgiving in your face hops. Mouthfeel was sticky but not too bad, tangy, and warm with a nice full body. Excellent I will be enjoying many of these from now on.

Apr 16, 2008 Overall, this has replaced Two Hearted as my favorite IPA. Loaded with pungent, oily hoppy goodness, this is a delicious brew. Never astringent or boozy, it typifies an IPA to me. I love this brew.

Apr 12, 2008 12oz Bottle. A very nice, gooey hop aroma. Succulent spring creosote bush, cactus flowers, and maple sap. Floral, spice and citrus amalgamate. Pours a pale orange, with a wonderful off-white soap that builds and stay. Lacing the glass slowly. Flavor is complementary. A rather robust malt and sugar profile hold up a hop flavor that stays in a spice note, but develops some metallic character. Chewy. Not overly sweet. Smacks in pear flesh. Grassy and dry in the back end. A middle amount of creaminess comes from the body of the beer. I could use just an edge more hop flavor from the initial presentation. Alcohols add complexity and appreciated warmth. In total, there is something about the combined effect of the beer that is dusty and dull. A papery dryness in the roof of my mouth that prevents the sugars from seeming clear and pure and the hops from maintaining quality. Otherwise, this is a mostly delightful IPA.
