Poured a murky orange brown, the head is off white and fluffy. Aroma is nice and hoppy. Taste is gritty with malt and hops a floating around the taste buds.

Citrus and heavy hop aroma that makes your mouth water. Pours an orange/amber colo with a fluffy whtie head with a very nice lacing. Delicious hop flavor and balance that is refreshing and delcious. By far one of the best IPAs that I have had!

29th June 2008. Amber beer. Packed full of hops but no astringence or bitterness. Refreshing and well balanced.

One of my favorite beers, when available. It has a nice honey, hoppy taste, with a particularly nice finish.

Poured from cask. Orange-copper color with a really thick fluffy head. Smells wonderful! Tons of hops yet cut with a fruity sweetness. Flavor could have been more hoppy for me, but for most people this is probably right on. Palate was fantastic. So creamy and smooth with a long finish. Can’t believe I live in Philly and haven’t had this before today!

I’ve been chasing this one down for a year. Sampled from 12-oz bottle during Darkness Day 2009 in Brooklyn Center, MN. Pours a semi-hazy copper colored brew with a decent off-white head that has some nice retention. Aroma of citrus zest with grapefruit, a hint of caramel malt, and some pineapple. Taste is medium bodied, some fruity background with golden grain and caramel malt, grapefruit/pineapple and a touch of biscuit. Finish is typical IPA with a lingering mild bitterness that slowly disappears. Solid IPA overall.

Big hop aroma. Lots of sweet malt for balance, on cloudy, dark yellow beer. Heavy palate, but alcoool is hidden. The hops are prominent in this beer, but almost balanced by the malt. A very good ipa.
