Apr 25, 2006 Gorgeous amber body with a smallish, pure-white head the flattens out to nothing but a hint of lace after one sip. Big piney hop nose, very plant-like, not quite floral. Sharply bitter on the attack, tangy bitter across the palate, and a well-balanced dry finish. Real hop complexity, though the malt is second fiddle all the way. There’s never any harshness to the bitter, which is impressive considering how many different notes of bitterness there are. Commanding IPA with lots of subtlety to boot. Beautiful.

Apr 25, 2006 Thanks to droopy49 for sending htis one out my way!
Orange body that supports an off-white head.
Flowery hop and citrus aroma, with hints of pine.
The flavor follows the aroma, ending in a nicely dry finish. Well balanced, not too overly done. Enjoyable IPA.

Apr 24, 2006 22oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a dark orange color with and averaged sized off white head. Stronger initial floral aroma that gave way to pine and citrus. Tastes of grapefruit, oranges, pine and caramel. Not overly bitter with a nice malty balance. Some lacing left on the glass.

Apr 24, 2006 Orange-gold pour with a medium sized head, aroma is floral citrus and sweet malt. Malt character is caramel based, enough to balance the ample citrus/pine hops until the finish which is decidedly bitter. A very decent IPA, but not real distinctive.

Apr 17, 2006 Bottle. Poured an orange color with an off-white head. The aroma is floral with a grapefruit citrus set in there. Orange and pine flavor with a malty background. Medium bodied with a comfortable bitterness to make this one very enjoyable. Thanks to Springslicker for pulling this one out at the Tennessee Tasting.

Apr 16, 2006 Bottle. Pours orange honey color with creamy light beige head. The aroma is fruity hops with a hint of raisin bread. Semi-sweet caramel malt flavor, piney and peppery hops, and a bitter finish. There are some sweet fruit notes floating around in there, too. Nothing too special, but a solid IPA.

Apr 16, 2006 Orangey brown, not much head. Big resiny nose, with some toffee notes. Very smooth - understated malt bodied carries to at citrusy, piney finish. Extremely drinkable. Thanks to Springslicker for sharing!

Apr 4, 2006 Pours a beautiful auburn orange with huge fluffy head. Aroma is a sweet and lively of wet hop, honey, and pine. Flavor is a strong serving of fresh west coast hop and organic wild honey. Very rich and wholesome this IPA turned out to be. A truly enjoyable ale.
