Poured from a growler strait from the brewery. Pours a clear amber color with a thick off white head and some laceing along the sides of the glass, but the head fades over time. The nose is of caramel citrus and some strong hops. Taste has a lot of bitter hops and a peppery spice in the aftertaste. There is some bready notes on the palate but there is a ton of pepper. Personally the peppery finish mixed with the bitter hops is somewhat enjoyable. I like my IPA’s very bitter but that pepper bite really makes the beer more palateable.

Jan 26, 2008 Normal IPA scents of hops, and citrus chemical smell, only a little lighter or fainter than other IPA’s, or IPA’s that really try to impact you. There lack of an attempt to go above and beyond may really help this beer enjoyability for those with sensitive palates like me. Cutrus, bitter, and maybe even pepper notes (like the ratter says) are also noted. Easier to drink and smoother to drink than most IPA’s, another good effert from this pub.!

Aug 19, 2007 Deep amber color with a creamy off white head. Aroma is hoppy, but also quite subtle. Flavor is all citrus but also rounded out with some of the darker malts used. Bitter finish, but also crisp and smooth.

Jul 14, 2007 Medium copper-colored body with little head. Aroma of Cascade hops and caramely malts. Flavor is moderately bitter with citrus and peppery hops. Finishes dry and bitter. A nice summer quaffer.
