Very well done!! I love this brew!! Just the right amount of hops with a heightened flow that just can’t be beat. Distinctive and eager is what I would describe this brew with. Pours great and auburn brown, little carbonation, but it still doesn’t taste at all flat because of the way it was brewed. Fantastic flavor, if you’re a hophead, try this!! You will NOT be disappointed!

Bottle from WFM Charlottesville. Good God is that a strong hop aroma. Also some sweetness in the aroma. Faint sweetness in the taste juxtaposed with a straightforward but not overpowering hop profile.

Super creamy head on top of a nice golden amber. Very flowery hops. Great balance, ultra drinkable; this is really good.

Draft pint at Hard Times Cafe. One of my favorite IPAs. Orange and amber color with very little head, but great lacing. Citrus aroma, enough said. One sniff and you will agree. Deep grapefruit aroma. Taste matches the aroma, but does not strip every taste bud from your tongue. Nice sweetness that compliments the bitterness. A good example of an east coast IPA. Leaves me wanting more.

Pours a hazy golden color, with little foam, Strong aroma and taste of hops. Hint of citrus. Good IPA, although not for the faint of heart (don’t try if you don’t like hops).

Best Before: May 2006
Super clear amber/copper coloured body with a very thin slightly off-white head. Aroma of nice fresh hops full of pines and spruce with a mouthwatering quality. Medium to Full-bodied; Sharp hoppy flavour with pine and flowers most common with a good malt backbone and a decent alcohol taste. Aftertaste shows a lot of the hop character with little else aside from reasonable malt. Overall, a decent beer...a bit lacking in general, but good for an IPA. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 19-Dec-05.
