Sep 28, 2009 Pretty good ipa, many good beers from Dark Horse but this one and the raspberry are their best by far

Sep 27, 2009 Sampled at 2009 WIU Performing Arts Society Beerfest. Hazy orange with tints of red. Medium off-white head, partially diminishing. Resinous aroma, some pine and spruce with a little vanilla cookie malt. Some notes of peach and nectarine. Moderately hoppy flavor, resinous, with some sweet vanilla malt. Finish is bitter and sticky. Very pillowly mouthfeel, nice carbonation level.

Sep 26, 2009 Bottle. Well balanced IPA. Fruity with some bitterness in the finish. Good but nothing special really.

Sep 24, 2009 Bottled@Monks Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Hazy orange colour, small beige head. Aroma is hops, fruits, wood, yeast and some mild notes of grass. Flavour is quite much the same in a rather balanced way. Wellbalanced, refreshing and pleasant. Wooden and fruity notes in the aftertaste.

Sep 21, 2009 Hazy peach colored pour with a thin capping of head. It smells very hoppy. Lots of grapefruit, tangerine, and a bit of pineapple. The body is a bit thin but it doesn’t bother me too much when the hop flavor is this good. Like the description says it is crisp and dry. The dry finish lasts for quite some time. Maybe not a typical example of an IPA, this is how I prefer mine. I just wish it was a bit more complex.

Sep 17, 2009 Tonight, this beer vies with a New Glarus Hop Hearty and Bell’s Two Hearted for the title of best IPA of my recent trade. Sadly, this beer comes in third. It’s not a bad IPA, but it lacks body and is unbalanced, in my humble opinion. There just isn’t enough malt sweetness and body to hold up to the bitter hops. The hop flavor is a tad boring, as well, or possibly that’s a related problem. The hops are bitterly citric, mostly, but there are some other notes lingering beneath the bitterness. The feel is a tad thin and astringent, not bad really but it’s being compared to some pretty good competition. At any rate, there just isn’t quite enough rich malt to stand up to the hops.

Sep 16, 2009 Bottle Pours a murky amber with a thin white head. The head leaves quickly, but produces great lacing. Has a good aroma of citrus, hops, and peach. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is blended well. Slight hoppiness with a good malty mix. Has aa oily texture. Has a medium body. The finish is decent with an enjoyable aftertaste. Not a super hoppy IPA but the flavor is good.

Sep 13, 2009 12 oz bottle from Capones. Pours a good looking orange bodied hazy nectar with an average size white frothy head. Aroma is citrus, mango, grass, rind, grainy, bread. Flavor is similar but not quite as biting as the aroma. Palate is medium with soft carbonation that makes this one extra smooth. I really liked it and would of wrote more but the Vikings are about to start.
