Apr 27, 2008 11.5 oz bottle. Clear orange brown with a coating bone skin. Nose is orange zest and toffee; light grass. Almost medium with soft resin and a nice stinging carb. Taste is carmelized orange, tea, pink grapefruit and rose petals. Dry finish with peppery pine.

Apr 27, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour - Dark amber, creamy off white head. Rich caramel nougat and peachy pine aromas warm to soft honey spruce notes. Sugared fruity and pine hop flavors balance on a bready caramel backbone from start to finish. Loads of hop flavor without any bite. Medium bodied with pillow soft carbonation. A very different, but tasty IPA...

Apr 26, 2008 Pours dark amber orange with a 1/4 inch tan head. Nose is instant crystal malt, doughy, nutty, bready, etc, along with some light nut and dried fruit hop notes that are overwhelmed by the crystal malt. Flavor is much the same: overwhelming presence of crystal malt, which has no place whatsoever in IPA, and then as background noise only are some light fruity hop notes, some peanut notes, etc, and only a mild bitterness. Not my cup of tea.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle, thanks to MaxxDaddy and puzzl. A hazy orange-brown color, with some white film on top. Some rich caramel malt, sugar, citrus hops, and some strange hops in the aroma. The flavor is similar, sweet and rich malt at first with some citric underpinnings; later the malt is dryer and a little grainy. Slightly earthy / grassy bitterness in the finish.

Apr 24, 2008 Bottle from SL. The pour was full red-amber, excellent initial head, ok retention, solid lacing. The aroma was full caramel and floral hops. The flavor was a hearty caramel malty base (with an almost gritty texture, hearty indeed), ample hops, floral and pine most prominent, but fruity citrus elements in there too. A decent brew, but too pricey to seek out again here in the States.

Apr 23, 2008 Heavy hoppy aroma. Huge, creamy, white head. Excellent lacing. Fully lasting longevity. Clear orange body. Heavy acedic initial flavor with flower notes in and a long finish duration. Medium palate.

Apr 22, 2008 12oz bottle pours a translucent reddish, copper amber with a sudsy, lacing white head. Aroma is extremely hoppy, strong lemon and pine with a malt backing lurking behind the hop resin. Flavor is heavy on the citrus fruits, spicy with plenty of pine and resin on the tongue. Finish is obviously bitter, but the mild sweetness also comes in at the very end. This is a nice IPA, but considering what I paid ($5.29), I think I’ll stick to the cheaper local micro IPAs that give me the same bang for less buck.

Apr 21, 2008 Hazy amber with a bubbly off-white head. Classic citrus hop aroma. Sweetish with a sharp hop bite and a pine hop finish.
