Jan 24, 2007 Murky orange-amber color with a thin bone white head. Spotty lacing throughout the glass. Citrusy hops aroma balanced well with malt. Medium-bodied and nicely bitter with hops and citrus flavors, along with floral touches here and there. There is a decent amount of malt balancing the flavor out as well. The finish is moderately bitter and lasting. Very solid all around.

Jan 18, 2007 I really am enjoying this beer!
Just poured it into my goodwill bastard chalace. Pours a light amber with a lacy but thin head.
The smell is a little sour, it seems, all hops, with a little malt balance, but decidedly too dry.
The taste is fantastic, beautiful hops silked into a firm malt finish like a good sourdough bread.
The mouthfeel is unbelievably smooth, precisly creamy and just, well, perfect.
Highly recommended

Jan 9, 2007 Great hop aroma with lots of pine and floral hops. Cloudy golden brown with a full palate. The taste is tons of pine hops and bitterness. Just enough caramel malt shows up to save the day. Really solid IPA.

Jan 5, 2007 The pour reveals a hazy orange color with a ring of white lace. Very good aroma and flavor of resinous, piney hops with a bitter finish. The body is light with an oily texture and gentle carbonation. Good stuff.

Dec 31, 2006 I got this from my local bottle shop, and another less-local one. In fact, it seems like this beer has blown up in my area, and is all of a sudden everywhere, at good beer stores and not so good ones.
This beer pours a slightly hazy orange with very abundant head (it over-filled my glass).
Smell is very pleasantly citrus-y, and lightly sweet.
Taste is a very sweet hop smell, but not extremely citrus-y. It is unique, and quite tasty. I actually really like it, and I feel it is a bit unique among the IPAs I’ve had lately. It is lightly sweet...if it were a wine, I’d call it "semi-dry." Either way, it is quite good.
Mouthfeel-wise, it doesn’t stick to the roof of my mouth, but it is still pretty substantial. Mouthfeel-wise, it is pretty good.
All-in-all, I thought this was a very good.
