Pale yellow pour, thick white head. Very nice hoppy, grapefruit aroma. Mouthfeel is very good, syrupy and thick that fills the mouth with goodness. Taste is of citrus, hops, and floral flavors. Not bitter at all (not typical for style), sweet finish. Good beer.

A good strong IPA but not in the upper tier. Sweetness detracts a bit from the refreshing feel. Agree with the poster who called this one almost a baby barley wine.

This breaks a streak of weak beers from this brewery. A hazy deep amber body under a small, creamy off-white head. Aroma is mostly greapefruit hoppiness with a bit of caramel and rye bread. Good body and gentle carbonation. Flavor is crisp and refreshing, mildly sweet citrus with a slightly bitter finish.

12oz bottle-thanks to Joe/jwc215 pours a retaining light tan foamy head and gold color. Aroma is nice citrusy/sweet grapefruit-hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is nice, bitter pine/citrusy/sweet grapefruit-hops, secondary medium malt. Raw, good for one. OK/mild carbonation.

Very nice. Lots of floral and sweet melody’s infused with a crisp, disint hoppyness. Not too bitter, and not too astrigent, it really hit the spot. Very chewy!

July 5, 2007; 12 oz. bottle. Golden IPA with good balance, despite a remarkably-sharp hop bite. Very good IPA, although rather dangerous as session-fare at 7.25% ABV.
