Jan 9, 2009 Bottle. Aroma is peachy, clean, a bit of diaper, citrus, pine. Great pour, perfect head and color. Flavor is sharp, juicy hops, almost tart in its bitterness, though not sour at all in the traditional sense. Bitter but easy drinking and refreshing. Solid.

Nov 20, 2008 <i>12 oz bottle</i>
Thanks to CharlesDarwin for sending this as a bonus in a trade a few months ago. I got around to cracking it open when looking for a non stout in the cellar. Since this seemed to be one to drink fresh it was the first one I snagged. I was not disappointed. Troeg’s may not be on par with Three Floyds, Lost Abbey, or some of the other big stars but they aren’t far behind either. Much like Great Lakes their beers are often more hit than miss.
<b>Aroma / Appearance</b> - A white half funger head surged to the top of the pint glass before collapsing in on itself. A cloudy caramel golden body was the result. Hoppy in a way that grabs your attention it hinted at fresh honeycomb, recently cut grass, and citrus. This was an IPA that was spot on.
<b>Flavor / Palate</b> - Warm hops, caramel, and Nutella formed a perfect trio to greet the senses. The bitterness calmly makes it way towards the throat leaving behind a trail of hops. Balanced and not over the top this is a great lawn mower beer. If they have a regular release that is anything like this I’ll have to get my hands on it next summer.
