Aug 13, 2008 Pours a murky orangish amber with a big two-finger head that lingers a while leaving good lacing. Aroma is big on light hops in the form of lemongrass and hints of pine and grapefruit. There is also a bit of bready malts in the background. Taste is big on hops up front, both citrus and floral, but with an interesting spicy kick with caramel malts. The hops come back to give a good hop bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is excellent, creamy and with strong carbonation. This is an interesting and tasty take on an IPA.

Aug 9, 2008 Copper color with a medium head. Solid orange and citrus aroma. Wow... strong malt backbone. Lots of caramel and almost bready. Toast? Plenty of citrus (orange and grapefruit) and enough bitterness that it’s not overly sweet, but very incredibly balanced.

Aug 9, 2008 Smells just like a fresh pink grapefruit. Clear dark amber/red color. Fluffy off-white head with some lacing. Not the most complex hop flavors, but very tastey never the less. Soft, smokey malt flavor in the background for balance. Very enjoyable and drinkable.

Aug 7, 2008 reddish brown with nice off-white head. nice hoppy nose. flavor of some crystal malt, some nice hop bitterness with some huge flavor that is straight cascade, which obviously is nice, but adding a few different hop aspects would make the beer more complex and memorable. very good ipa though
