Dec 30, 2008 12 oz bottle pours a coppery color. Aroma is grainy malt and a little hops. Flavor is grainy and slightly sweet malt with a decent hop bitterness.

Nov 28, 2008 Trade thanks to Andrew. This was dominated by diacetyl which obviously gave the beer buttery flavor and aroma. In fact it was so overpowering that the hops were hard to detect. Maybe a bad batch? Anyways, still wasn’t terrible...

Nov 1, 2008 Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, amber body with a thin ring of white bubbles on top.
Smell: Grainy malt nose upfront, then some caramel wanders in, and then the spicy, citrus-minded hops.
Taste: Lightly grainy pale maltiness and caramel sweetness usher in an earthy, spicy, even citrusy hop character. Medium-plus, though reasonably balanced with the malts, bitterness. Finishes bittersweet.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Certainly an acceptable (but not quite exceptional) India Pale Ale! Yes, I accept it.

Oct 11, 2008 12oz bottle. copper color. tan foamy head.
heavenly grapefruit and citrus hop notes. Flavor has a full malt character, followed by a sharp hop bitterness. Linger hop bitter favors. very balanced. I really enjoyed this IPA.
Too bad this wasn’t made for Huckabee!

Oct 11, 2008 From a 12 ounce bottle - Pours a slightly cloudy deep orange/red with low carbonation, and average lacing. Delightful smells of big sweet malts and some big hops. First sip is somewhat bitter with a welcomed hop presence that is complimented with a strong enough malt backbone to really balance out the aggressive hops. Not too bad.

Oct 5, 2008 On tap and in bottle. Good IPA. Pours a clear orange with a light brown head that leaves great lacing and has good retention. Aroma is of citrus hops (Centennial and Williamete as far as I could tell). Taste is nice and hoppy, with a decent amount of balance. Water like mouthfeel, good levels of carbonation. I belive the brewer said after testing this was only 5.8%.

Oct 3, 2008 Thanks to ckeegan04 for this one. My bottle was poured into a standard pint glass .Nice hazy amber body brew toped of with a good two fingers worth of off white head that turned to a nice big thick clumps of lace.
Aromas of pine and grapefruit filled my nose a real nice hop presence
Flavors of hops come up first then are tamed by the malts the mouthfeel is medium and crisp in the carbonation department.
Drinkability is great on this brew was a great beer to sit back and relax with.

Sep 23, 2008 12oz bottle-pours a dissipating foamy light tan head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt/caramel/toffee, pine/resin. Taste is medium malt/caramel/toffee, pine/resin/herbal hops. Not quite my taste. Became less enjoyable as I progressed. Thanks Russ Powell. Reading the previous 2 raters comments, and knowing them to be good Americans, I must guess that I had a bottle with some issues. Rating stands, but would like to rerate.
