[1874-20081205] Cask. Orange hops and some tea and stewed malt grain aroma. Hazy, brown orange body with a quick foamy white head. Hoppy and grainy orange roughage flavour. Medium-full body. Quite enjoyable.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a beautiful copper color with a thick, white head and incredible lacing. Citrus hop aroma with hints of grapefruit. Aroma was heavy when I cracked the bottle and during the pour but quickly dissipated and became a bit weak. Nice, spicy flavor with that same grapefruit citrus notes as the aroma. A very solid brew but not quite as good as I was hoping.

Clear copper beer beneath an nice creme colored head. Left amazing lacing. Spicy hop aroma with notes of citrus, little on the weak side though. Flavor is bursting with hops to start that mellows out as it goes down and then finishes bitter. Sweet floral taste with more than a hint of citrus, grapefruit tang to it. Bitterness hangs around in the mouth a little to sharply and long for my liking.

Bottle.Pours clear amber with a minimal white head.Strong flowery aroma, hops. Powerful hops explodes on my tongue, hiding any other possible flavour.

Pours a nice amber color with a thin white head. Medium body with not much carbonation. A well-balanced Ale with hints of hops, citrus sweetness, and piney, earthy malts. Pretty solid IPA.

12oz bottle: Amber color with a small off white head. Grapefruit and flowery aroma. Sweet citrus initial flavor with a sharp bitter finish. A medicinal aftertaste lingers. Syrupy texture and lacking carbonation. A different take on the style that just isn’t for me.

Nice copper color with a foamy off white head. Intense aroma of sweet fruitcocktail in syrup. Smooth fruity flavor with a pleasant finishing bitterness. Wellbalanced with a nice mouthfeel.
