amx1970390 (466), Southampton, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 22, 2004 This is a real good "big american" IPA. Dark orange color, big hop aroma, sticky head. FDlavor is big hops, but alittle on the green side and I bet this will be great about 6 months from now. The drafting room near me has several barrels of this and I bet they will be serving it for a while. All the better for me.
axilla (948), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 25, 2005 More old notes...pours a medium orangy/brown color body with a small tan head. Sweet clementine orange aroma. Flavors are orange, honey, mild grapefruit, and pine needle. Somewhat sticky palate. Incredible IPA. greghate (10), Parkesburg, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 25, 2005 I had several oppurtunities to have this extraordinary beer at their restaurant...definately a top-notch IPA! bu11zeye (3887), Frisco, Texas, USA Dec 18, 2004 Updated: Dec 28, 2004(Cask Conditioned, Drafting Room, Exton, PA) Pours a cloudy amber-brown with a small beige head. Aroma of orange and pine. Nice balance of a variety of hops. Very smooth palate. One of the better IPAs I have sampled. meathookjones (245), Sterling, Virginia, USA Dec 3, 2004 This came in a half-gallon growler jug courtesy of PisskyNights, many thanks to him. This poured out a clear dark amber color with good bubbling carbonation and a tall white head of foam peeking out of the glass. As the head receded down of a covering of bubbles it left good sheet of lace around the glass that clung to it for a while. Very pleasant aroma stirs from the glass with a nice blend of fruity sweet malts as well as a sharp citric hop smell. Definite notes of floral and piney hops as well mingle about to make this wonderful smelling brew. Quite the balanced nose as neither the malts nor the hops tend to dominate but at the same time both make their presence well known. Great flavor here with sweet caramel malt taste upfront followed by the citric piney bite of the hops. A nice crisp clean taste all around with a bitter finish, very tasty indeed. Mouthfeel is about medium with good carbonation. Obviously drinkability is not a problem with the entire growler being downed quite easily in one sitting and I wish I had more afterwards. A well-balanced and tasty IPA that I would highly recommend you try if you can get your hands on it. hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 5, 2004 Updated: Nov 15, 2005On Tap. Poured a medium to dark orange color with a large off white head. Citrus aroma with some pine. Sweet. Honey, piney and orange tastes.
