Jul 23, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a tulip glass. A Small amount of white head quickly dissipates, but leaves a very nice lacing. Nose is grapefruit, hops, light caramel, and floral perfume. Taste is a quick burst of the sweet caramel, which is quickly overpowered by piney hops. The taste then finishes with a floral perfume, and ultimately, an earthy bitter. Talk about a multi-stage brew! This probably ranks as one of my favorite IPAs that I’ve tried.

Oct 6, 2009 Big thanks to machfive55. Murky orange pour, think unfiltered apple cider, with moderate beige head, sticky lacing. Strong grapefruit hops aroma, a bit of ginger as well. On the flavor, the citric, piney hops aromatics merge and harmonize with the malt’s cider and light caramel flavors. On the finish, there’s a blend of floral, fruity, and musty elements that linger over the lasting hops bitterness. I like it, but I would understand if someone didn’t go in for the mustiness. Crisp. lively palate, medium body. A fine IPA.

Oct 10, 2009 Not quite retired at The Drafting Room in Spring House. Served in a 14oz goblet on tap. This IPA has a distinctive reddish color to it, and a nearly fruity component to the hop flavor. Not much head but a fine taste and hop presence--115 IBUs according to their description. Get it while there’s still some left.

Dec 12, 2009 bottle. pours a dark amber orange with a fluffy medium offwhite head. leaves some spotty lace on the glass. aroma of pineapple, melon, caramel, grapefruit, and a little booze. flavor is a big smack of pine up front, with some grapefruit, tangerines, and some bready, nutty, caramel malt backing. nice body. This was pretty damn good. Like a doughy caramel with a some spruce and pineapple. I know that doesn’t sound very good, but it worked. this was a great beer. awesome balance as well.

Aug 13, 2009 12 oz bottle as scratch 20. Pours a medium to deep hazy amber with a thin white had and spotty lace. Aroma somehow has a typical troegs hoppy smell- similar to a cross between the old ESB and the hopback just cranked up a bit more- spicy citrus, mint and anise, with a good smooth caramel and toffee malt base. Flavor is resinous with citrus hops, floral hops, mint pine and sap with medium crystal malts, some toffee, and orange mango fruitiness, and a clean full mouthfeel and moderate bitterness. Pretty good actually.
