Very nicely composed IPA that is just too thin and watery. Decent caramel malt character with a decent floral hop profile with some nice citrus and hop oil character - just so little of it. Almost as if you made a decent IPA then just diluted it with tap water.

22 oz. bottle. Modest Pine and Hop aroma. Poured a dark golden with a small white head. Tastes like a lower end IPA and had a disturbing carbonation finish which bit annoyingly.

On the weak side for an IPA. Started out promising getting a whiff out of the bottle. Very nice head and lacing. Flavor is actually on the sweet side, but not really bold as is expected with an IPA. Goes down smooth and rounded-out but IPAs are supposed to bite. Actually watery towards the end.

2009 Bottle - Pours lt orange with a small off white head...aroma is nice light pine resin and citrus...flavour is similar...decently balanced hop bitters and sweet malt...a very light IPA, not bad, but not what most folks will expect...

Pours a transparent golden orange with a stringy-lacing wispy white head. Aroma of fresh pine and grapefruity hops with a hint of sweet caramel. Body starts with pretty good fullness and a decent malty sweetness with some resiny bittering and flavor hops before a mild, bittersweet finish. A pretty smooth and drinkable IPA.

This golden ale poured with a nice off-white head and a citrus aroma. There is a nice caramel malt flavor with citrus bitterness at the finish.

22oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with white head. Aroma of citrus hops and malt. Taste bitter grapefruit hops with bitter finish. This is very good every day IPA, surprising the low ratings for this one.
