Sep 11, 2009 Off copper appearance with a light white head that laces nicely. Good hoppy citrus aroma.The hop flavor is very nice and balanced, just the right amount of citrus. Bitterness on backside is nice. A well rounded IPA. Too bad I only have 1 bottle!

Sep 10, 2009 Hazy, just slight translucent, murky orange pour with a very exuberant bloom of off white foam. Good retention, patchy lace. Aroma wonderfully melds piney hops and a vanilla-cream soda malt bill. Flavor begins with hops bitterness incompletely countered by a bit of peach and mango. The hops lingers on into the malt backbone, which has a lot of vanilla in it. Citrus and cream soda in the finish. This is IPA bliss. Mixed review on the palate: despite a very lively, dry mouthfeel, still manages to come across as soft, thin.

Sep 10, 2009 Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #22 of 90. Draft at D.H. thanks Nolan for sharing. Pours bright orange with foamy white head. Very citrus, orange, hoppy nose...inviting to say the least. Dry bitter hop comes on the first sip followed by a citrus punch that leaves the mouth watering for more. Spot on IPA.

Sep 6, 2009 Dark amber pour with a thick beige head that leaves nice lacing. Very inviting aroma consisting of sweet citrus, apricots, and pine. Smooth and very drinkable! Sweet entry with sugared grapefruit and apricots leading to a somewhat mild bitter pine finish. One of my favorite IPAs thus far.

Sep 1, 2009 Bottle at the Dayton Ale Fest. Pours a nice amber with a thin white head. Aroma is very hoppy and has a nice malt backbone. Notes of grapefruit, apricots, caramel, floral hops, and grassy hops. On the palate, it felt a little watered down and under carbonated. The flavor brings the floral hops out and it finishes nice and bitter. A great, refreshing IPA.
