Sep 23, 2007 Beer had a decent of head, with great flavors, and a very good aftertaste. Not to bitter, just the right amount of hops for this beer.

Sep 23, 2007 Clear golden with a tall white head that leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Hoppy aroma with some caramel sweetness and citrus notes. Flavor is bitter with a balanced caramel malty sweetness. A bit sticky in the palate but overall pretty good.

Sep 22, 2007 Draft. Pours a light straw gold with a pillowy white head. Aroma is hoppy and sweet. Flavor is loaded with citrus and piney hops, balanced by doughy malts. Alcohol is barely evident. Finishes dry and bitter. Nice IPA.

Sep 21, 2007 Pours a amber gold with a crème head. Nose is hoppy, but not so powerful like a super hopped up brew. The hops are there, as are a citrus tone and what seems like a sugary chewing gum. Flavor is hoppy with an orange citrus flavor. Feel is thicker and sticky. Drinkable, yes. It is a decent brew. But I think it is another that has jumped on the bandwagon of the super-hopped beers. After a while you can only take so much. When a beer is just made with a load of hops and it has no other great character that holds it apart from the rest, what is the point? Good. But lacking.

Sep 11, 2007 Copper color with a fairly foamy head. Aroma of pine and sweet malt. Flavor is pretty hoppy, but with a clean, sweet balance and a dry finish.

Sep 9, 2007 On tap at Barley’s Taproom: Copper colored with an off white head. Big, piney aroma of hops. Medium body with a creamy mouthfeel. Big hop flavors at first, malty sweetness takes care of the bitterness in the end.

Sep 8, 2007 I picked this up at Norm’s Beer & Wine in Vienna during a recent visit to the Washington, DC area.
This beer pours a slightly hazy dark yellow with a scummy head of mixed large and tiny bubbles which clung aggressively to the sides of my pint glass. Aroma is hoppy sweetness backed with a bit of stale cerealness, but still good. Mouthfeel hits before flavor, and it is fairly thick and syrupy. Flavor is good; it is pretty much all hops (which I heartily approve of, especially for an IPA!) and is a bit sweet and balanced with some piney-ness. While the mouthfeel is a bit thick and slick, this beer still feels rather dry. Definitely recommended.
