A very nice light amber with a medium white head quite pleasent looking. Smells of a rich hoppy aroma that is mostly piney could have done with some more levels of hop. The taste is more complex with a nice hint of malt to the hops but a slight yeasty twang at the end detracts from it. Otherwise really good.

Aug 16, 2008 On draft at brewpub. Arrives a medium orangey amber color with a thick and creamy off-white head that leaves nice lace. Good toasty malts, pine and florals in the aroma, with ripe fruit and a hint of burnt toffee. Flavor features just a bit of of chocolate malt roastiness, mingled with the toasty and caramel character, along with more evergreen and citrus hops, and some earthiness as well. Medium to full body, smooth and creamy carbonation. I liked this better than their regular IPA. Good IIPA and not overdone.

Jun 28, 2008 Growler from SuzyGreenberg. Pours a dark burnt orange color with small head. Aroma was of light roasted malty lite flowering hops and tea. The taste wasd the same with dusty bitter finish. Good but not better than the regular IPA.

May 27, 2008 Bit of must. Did it live up to reputation? Maybe. Very nice. Fairly light color - on side of gold. Solid IPA.

Apr 25, 2008 Growler. Poured a clear medium orange color. Head was off white. Fruity aroma reminiscent of cherry and orange. Dry on the tongue with citrus and toffee flavors and moderate hop bitterness. Decent.

Apr 17, 2008 Growler, courtesy of after4ever. Thanks, Tom! Pours a slightly dulled golden-amber color; fluffy off-white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of chewy earthy hops, dried fruits, and a touch of brown sugar in the aroma; generous; a touch of pine. Relaxed carbonation. Nice zesty citrus and earthy hop character in a medium-to-full mouthfeel: creamy palate, soft piney and oily hops; very nice feel in the mouth; a touch of breadiness. Lengthy finish: sugar, resinous earthy hops and soft biscuity notes.
