12oz bottle at home on January 11, 2009. What a great white, frothy head on this! Golden orange color. Sweet citrus, hoppy aroma. And the flavor... not as sweet, almost metallic. Thin and bitter. Think this could have been better with a different type of hop. Not bad, but nothing to search out.

I purposely waited until i completed the six pack before making a final judgement on this IPA. At first it seemed very bitter and with a strong bite after wards. I must admit that i don’t care for Ales so i waited and I had to admit that this stuff grew on me. The flavor and appearance looked and tasted bold and dynamic. I will try this again and I would recommend this to any IPA drinker.

2008-12-05. Very hazy dark body, modest off white head. (3+) Nice dry hopped aroma, pleasant resiny hops. (7+) Flavour is likewise nicely hoppy, light citrus and resin is not over the top but quite quaffable. (7+) Average palate. Alcohol was barely noticed, I had no idea it was this strong until I entered my rating. 7/3/7/3/15 - 3.5 <i>Dry hopped Cask at Goodbar, Buffalo</i>

Orange copper pour into thick white foamy head that dissipated into melted lacings. Carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass to a foamy surface. Aroma of hoppy citrus. Initial hoppy bite fades into a spiced malty finish.

12 oz bottle from Bev4less. Pours a translucent copper color with a fair sized sudsy white head. The nose is moderate with sweet malts and a bit of pine. The flavor is dominated by biter pine, walnuts, and some grapefruit rind. Tastes a bit more biter than the 60 IBU’s listed in the description. The mouthfeel is light and malty. The finish is long, dry and biter. Overall: A very respectable IPA.

Pours a medium sized offwhite head, retention is good with a sticky thin lace hanging around. Crystal clear, light copper hued brew. Nose is lightly sweet malts, tropical, light melon and orange. Lightly medium body, lightly oily almost creamy. Nice fruity flavors, orange, lemon lime with a lightly bready, toasty maltiness. Lighly fruity, dry lightly biting finish. From bottle @ cellar temp. Decent enough quaff. Procured @statelineliquors.

Off white creamy full lasting head. Slightly cloudy amber colour. Aroma is complex with fruity (peach and banana,citrus), floral (rose) and spicy (pepper) notes. Flavor is malty, fruity with floral tones, ending in a moderately fruity finish quickly turning in a bitter one. Medium bodied.
