Jun 10, 2009 Damn good IPA! The acid and floral notes of the hops are well balanced with the malt.

Jun 10, 2009 Rating #2500. Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Garthicus, Blankboy, and GregClow, courtesy of me via my awesome Denver trip in May ’09. As good a choice as any for 2500, as it is my favourite style, it was awesome, it was from my amazing trip to Denver to see my brother and family, and it was shared with most of my (formerly) local crew. Medium orange, small bubbly white head. Great hoppy aroma, interesting spicy aspect to it as well. Great unique hoppy taste - really neat balance with tons of hop and interesting malt bill. Almost floral. Great stuff.

Jun 9, 2009 Bottle. Lots of pine, floral and citrus hops. Caramel sweetness brings this one down a bit for my taste.

Jun 6, 2009 Pour is a dark golden copper that is crystal clear. Has thick white head that fades but leaves perfect lacing. Aroma is wonderful...the hops fill the room with lovely pine, floral and earthy notes. Also has a sweet caramel malt note. Flavor drops off slightly...its bitter but a little brash. Palate is thin and a little metallic but has good carbonation. Solid but probably best fresh.

Jun 6, 2009 Medium amber, good head. Aroma is cooked citrus. Flavor matches - warm citrus, a bit of caramel, and an interesting anise accented finish. Different.
