Aug 4, 2007 Pours a deep orange gold. Nice head, good lacing throughout. Seems very sticky. I didn’t like the hop-taste as much as I do in other IPAs. Not a bad beer, I plan on trying it again sometime. Nice aroma though, I like the smell of caramel I got.

Jul 29, 2007 On tap at Ortinos. Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a medium creamy lacing head. Aroma of floral light citrus, some caramel. Flavor was very earthy hops, light grapefruit, pine and some caramel.

Jul 20, 2007 Pours quite a light golden copper, almost a shade darker than a run-of-the-mill pale lager. Fluffy head of off-white formed easily, and the lacing was sparse yet chunky when it did stick. Mild aromas of earthy hops, nothing to write home about. Flavors are fruity, tinny, a touch oxidized, and sharply bitter. Dry and constricting to the tongue. Meh...

Jul 8, 2007 Thanks to dmac621 for sending this bonus. Pours orange / copper with a sudsy beige head. The aroma is coming off muddled with weird fruitiness, light cardboard and a moderate amount of sweetness - not very IPA-like. Medium smooth body at first, then thin and watery with minimal soft carbonation. The flavor starts with nectar-ish fruitiness, some medicinal traits and sharp sourness. The finish has some spice and woody hops along with cardboard and lingering sourness. Fair beer, I have a hard time buying that this is an IPA though.

Jul 3, 2007 bottle . . pours clear orange-copper with a foamy white head . . aroma is citrus, grass, grapefruit, some hops . . doesnt appear to be a killer IPA . . taste is hoppy, sweet, light, caramel, slight citrus fruit . . not an IPA by my standards . . this is pretty much sam adams lager kicked up a bit . .

Jun 18, 2007 12 oz bottle. Poured an orangey/amber that had a little bit of haze to it and an average size white head. Aroma had some initial piney hops to it but that faded into a slight floral hop aroma with a caramel malt sweetness mixed in, needed more hop assertiveness though. The palate on this beer was the best thing about it with a smooth medium bodied mouthfeel with just the right touch of carbonation. Flavor was nothing special and did not have enough hop bite to make me happy. I would say this beer is slightly under average, not bad but nothing to write home about either.

May 19, 2007 I thought this was an English style IPA and research shows this to be the correct case. I think this is underated because people get a drier, pale plus hopped ale. This is somewhat leaf dry astringency and on the bitter side, it is malted to ease drinkability and nicely done.Lace and small head on orange.

May 2, 2007 Very piney hop aroma. Surprisingly light color, refreshing for an American IPA. I’d like this beer more if I were a fan of Simcoe hops.
