Jsawyer (282), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 28, 2009 Bottle. Poured sunburst amber, close to ruby up top, with a thick cream head. Aroma was both spicy and citric hops, fruity almost like grape, bready, pine, and a little grapefruit. Pine, bready, raisinish, citrus, slight lemony spice. Palate true to the style. Really good. AtlAggie (131), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Apr 26, 2009 Amber pour. Herbal/floral nose, taste follows same vein, with tones of grapefruit, and of course lots of hops. Not my favorite style of beer, but for still pretty enjoyable anyway, because of a commendable balance of flavors. Nice. shawnm213 (884), South Bend, Indiana, USA Apr 25, 2009 Updated: Oct 22, 200912 oz bottle. pours amber . leaves some white lace. floral, sipcy, herbal, hay. ok not great
rerate tap. pours a clear golden. floral hop aroma. caramel, grapefruit, pine. good! +1 flavor + 1 overall after having on tap. RHeastings (380), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 24, 2009 Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. Pours a nice medium copper. Nose of powerful American hops, fragrant and wonderful! Palate is hop-forward, but nicely balanced, so as not to be simply hop liquid. Finishes with a nice dry quality that makes it an easy, and perhaps slightly dangerous, beverage. Well done. BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Apr 21, 2009 Bottle via a trade with hopdog. Pours with a small, off-white head over a hazed orange body. Good lace. Aroma of herbal and sticky hops, caramel and exotic fruits. Taste is herbal hops with toasted bread and passion fruit. Slightly fizzy mouthfeel and on the watery side of things. angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Apr 21, 2009 Bottle thanks to bman1113v. Off white head over a hazy brown body. Floral hops, mango and pretzel malts in the nose. Flavor has a nice mix of floral hops, soap, and light malts. pretty good beer. alebrewer (121), Mentor, Ohio, USA Apr 15, 2009 Draught Ballantine, Willoughby,OH
I am very happy this great beer is on tap at my local. Excellent balance in this overhopped wonder. Wonderful hop aroma and flavor in this uber IPA. Highly recommended. NJBeerman013 (768), Trenton, New Jersey, USA Apr 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours copper amber in color with a small, lively pure white head. The aroma is very floral and phenolic, almost giving you the ability to taste the hops by smelling. This beer is a true hop head’s delite. It has a citrusy start and a floral finish. A really good IPA.
