May 23, 2009 Updated: Oct 30, 2009I think they got the intensity right but maybe not quite the masterful 3-D hops I seek in this style. Bold, round hopping that takes on some complexity as the glass warms and I drink more of it. Piney and grassy and a bit hard. The bittering is foremost while not being too aggressive. Pale fruits and citrus are in there - it’s a nice unusual handmade IPA - but would like to try fresh draft at DDC or just-bottled fresh to really get the scoop here, as I would hope for greater things here. Enjoyed at - where else - Bar Volo! ** add note ** this beer does grow on one with repeated exposure. Cheers.

Jun 18, 2008 11.5 oz. bottle. Pours a murky, rust-colored amber body with a finger-thick tan head. A rich, malty aroma that features lots of roasty caramel upfront with some resiny hops underneath. Medium to full-bodied. A whole lot of caramel starts things off taste-wise. Finishes with some ample hoppy bitterness in the form of grapefruits and orange rinds. A little biscuity too. Nice balance.

Jan 22, 2008 Pours an almost clear amber with an off-white head with some lacings. Sweet and quite bitter. Sugary floral aromas. Also aromas of cereals and hay. Long and very bitter finish. A bit too sweet.

Apr 3, 2009 Pours a dark hazy copper color ,with a medium white head. Smells of big piney hops, grapefruit citrus, and yeast. Pretty sharpnose. The flavor was very crisp and biting. Huge hop bitterness hits you right away. Big juicy citrus hops and grapefruit just soak the taste buds fully. I would have thought this was stronger than 6.5% abv. vrey big flavor, drys out slightly in the finish, but leaves a big hop afterataste on the palate. Very solid IPA.

Nov 28, 2008 Super light orange with a nice 2 finger head that is made entirely of huge light suds. Instant sticking as the head shrinks.
Orange peel, spice and a musty hop aroma. Has a nice smooth start with a huge hop kick in the middle and flattens out to a nice smooth finish. Smooth front to finish with a nice hop flavor. The hop flavor is very very clean. This is a very easy drinking beer. Nice! Pick this one up
