Jun 5, 2009 Nice citrus and pineapple aroma. Light amber in color with little head. Succulently coarse bitterness, lots of sharp citrus flavor, lemons and limes abound. Rather thin and lacking any over the top maltiness. Hoppy finish. I was expecting a bit more but still a nice quaffing IPA. Solid.

Jun 3, 2009 Pours clear copper-orange with a frothy white head. Crisp, only mildly hoppy aroma. Flavor is extraordinarily well balance. Not at all sweet, but the hops are backed up by the malt very well and do not overpower the flavor. The finish, however, is very bitter. Overall, highly refreshing and delicious. This is the type of somewhat ordinary but very well executed beers that I enjoy year after year.

May 30, 2009 Bottle thanks to scrizz!
Hazy tan-amber, nice white head. Wood and orange rule the nose. Creamy body, lots of bitterness and wood, plus some pale malt, nice carbonation... utterly quaffable. Very bitter finish. This is an odd one with moments of greatness and moments of ordinary.

May 28, 2009 pale gold. citrus, grass nose. Very dry across the palette. I actually found the Industrial IPA maltier and more flavorful.

May 27, 2009 Bottle thanks to Scrizz. Pours with an off-white head over a hazed amber body. Aroma of hops, pine, peach and apricot with very light alcohol. Taste is grass, pine and fruity hops. Not super bitter, but very nice and balanced. Some jam and caramel. Light bubbles, but on the thin side. Solid IPA.

May 10, 2009 Many thanks to Scrizz for sending this jewel to me. Thanks, Clint! Pours a beautiful, full amber with a nice, thick head of white. Aroma is a blend of floral hops and sour fruits, with just a touch of sweetbread in the background. Flavor is very unusual for an IPA; a very rounded, blunt buttery sourness that threatens to overwhelm but never does. The finish is a nice coating of semi-sweet floral notes that leave a sour film on the tonge. Nice mouthfeel that leaves the tastes buds craving more. A very well-made IPA; one I would definitely have again.
